What I like the sound of with this 'World's Finest' flick is the following:

Batman will no doubt just show up on the scene, ala B89. Nothing overly explained. Just seeing him in action and hearing from others what he's like. More mystery and more of a myth.



^ That's how I like The Shadow to be written. He's everything Batman pretends to be.

That's how I like my Batman, mysterious. No need to focus on Bruce Wayne like Nolan did.

I wouldn't mind if another focus on Bruce Wayne were to be about his true obsession in becoming a crime fighter where he puts his body and mind to the test. Not like the useless degenerate in BB who foolishly travels to the other side of the world without thinking of the consequences of what he was doing - never mind that he learned absolutely nothing about the criminal mind in the process.   >:( ::)

But for Batman/Superman, I'd still prefer to have Batman played as the mysterious figure like he was in '89.  :P ;)

EDIT: Speaking of which, there is a rumour that the Man of Steel sequel is going to be called Batman vs. Superman. Not a very creative title if true.

Christopher Nolan: He breaks it in...

Jonathan Nolan: ...the first two.

World's Finest sounds better.

I hope they would refrain from vs in the title. I'm hoping Batman is more of a introductory character - a bit like Electra in Daredevil but with less screen time.

I like Man of Steel: World's Finest.

You know, thinking about this and taking my own opinion out of it - I'm expecting them to call it Batman vs Superman. Straight to the point and evoking strong cash grab imagery. Even if that title 'vibe' doesn't necessarily last the whole run time of the film.

That billboard from I Am Legend is coming to fruition.


I would imagine Batman vs Superman to be the title WB likely will go with.

Of course they could always go with The Dark Knight vs The Man of Steel if their not into the whole brevity thing.

If the animated movie didn't exist, then Superman/Batman: Public Enemies might have been possible. :-X

Agreed. Batman vs Superman. The two character names front and centre, just like the Bat emblem and Superman shield they revealed at Comic Con.

Please not 'The Dark Knight vs The Man of Steel'. Talk about a mouthful, and it's time to move on from that TDK branding.
