Batman Beyond movie with Anthony Hopkins playing old Bruce Wayne would be the shittt
you'd have to play with camera angles a bit to make sir anthony look a little bit taller but other than that i'd love to see crotchety old anthony/bruce bitching out whoever would be playing terry mcginnis
“I want you to remember Clark, in all the years to come. In all your private moments. In all the years to come, my hand at your throat. I want you to remember, the one man who beat you.”

no no no no no no.
superman and batman are teaming up in the movie.
doesnt mean that they wont fight at some point in the movie.
but all the press releases and other comments from Snyder and others is that the two are going to team up.
snyder said that TDKR and that quote specifically are an inspiration for the movie. which means they will have batman be suspicious, distrustful, and contemptuous of superman the way he was in TDKR. not that the main focus of the movie is going to be superman and batman fighting in the streets of metropolis or gotham or wherever.
it would also hurt the future JLA movie(s) if the superman batman movie is about superman and batman not being able to overcome their differences and ally up, superman and batman being enemies = no believability that they would later form the JLA.
I find it funny how people keep of saying/assuming that Superman is a nitwit compared to Batman.
Krypton was an advanced alien civilization and he himself is an inventor/collector in certain respects. And he has the knowledge of Krypton within his reach, via the Fortress of Solitude.
I know AngryJoe is a superman fan, but you have to understand that both heroes have their own lores to them which were created by different people. They do crossover from time to time but they have to adjust it depending on who the comics really are about. Case in point, TDKR comic would of course focus of Batman and show how he would do it so it would downplay Supes' lore but at least respect him to a certain degree.
Oh, for people hating on the next Batman actor, personally for me. It won't matter as long as he can pull off a Batman.
Why? Well it is pretty simple. This is not a Batman movie, but a crossover movie and later on a JLA movie.
Even in the JL and JLU animated series, they rarely had Batman be Bruce Wayne anyway, so he is always behind the mask. A crossover or team movie would mean the crossing over character is already established with this backstory or whatever. So there is no reason in actually showing a Bruce Wayne per se, unless you want to play it into your story, like say Diana and Bruce actually meeting while Diana was undercover. It was that episode with Zatana where Diana turned to a pig, forgot the episode title though.
As long as it is smartly played, why not. You could actually just have Batman talk to Morgan Freeman's character (forgot the name also) over the comm of the Batmobile, jet or whatever just to establish a Wayne Enterprise connection in a MoS or JLA storyline.

Uh... No? Superman is only as powerful as the story needs him to be. Also, read the comics. Batman destroys Superman at least 3 different times that I can remember.
NOPE NOPE NOPE.
Superman beats Batman in Babel despite Batman’s heavy preparation. Superman kills Batman in Red Son. Superman humiliates Batman in Superman/Batman 2 despite all the odds favoring Batman. Superman smashes Batman in Infinite Crisis despite the absolute Krypton Ring. Superman obliterates Batman in Hush series, again despite Batman’s preparation.
The only time Batman beats Superman is when Batman just turns on Superman without any motivation or when Superman acts out of character due to poor script writing.
There is no universe, alternate reality, hallucinatory world, or fantasy where Batman wins vs. Superman.
Wow that's kind of interesting lol. I always just kind of assumed that Superman would (according to canon) be able to embarrass Batman if it came down to it, but it really seems like he just completely owns Batman :O

If NOBODY from the cast of any of the Nolan movies touches this with a ten foot pole, it has a slim chance of maybe not being terrible. But hey, I'm an optimist.

For people who don't read comics it may be hard for them to understand how Batman and Superman can actually work together given their different power levels but done well it can actually work out nicely. The fact that Batman is the contingency plan to stopping Superman should he go baddy in the DC universe should speak to how Batman is not as wimpy as you might think.

Yea this bugs me too, Superman is actually a scientific genius in his own right.

Why...
Frankly, he has a point. You could argue the merits and flaws of Nolan's Batman movies at length, but one of the selling points of this adaptation was that it was supposed to depict Batman as part of a halfway realistic world. I'd say it's actually reasonable to expect this Batman style to not mix as well with superpowered aliens.
I assume they're getting this guy to play both parts? + Show Spoiler +
On a serious note, it seems a bit absurd to be making this film right after batman and superman films, I thought having another spiderman was ridiculous enough.
Also superman would whoop batman's ass no problem.
Batman can go ahead and keep claiming "the one man who beat you", but despite holding back, being exposed to Green Arrow's kryptonite, and being more concern of Batman's health than his own, Superman is the one holding Bruce's body after a heart attack.
TDKR isn't even canon, I believe, but I guess that doesn't matter to a movie that's inspired by it. I just hope that there's not gonna be some major PIS, because it seems obvious that they aren't going to be working together.
