The Dark Knight VS. The Man of Steel

r

With The Man of Steel sequel approaching in 2016 I thought I would take the time to share some of my predications for the film as well as discuss the age long debate can Batman beat Superman? and why does this universal debate continue? the question that will also be raised for superhero fans and non superhero fans alike why reboots? are they necessary or a big waist of time and energy are they more effective in comics or do they make bigger impressions on film? so to get the ball rolling we shall start with what we know so far about the film beside there being a new man under the cape an cowl we will have the trinity also known as Batman Superman and Wonder Woman as well as Cyborg in the mix if we look back to Man of Steel Kal -el was coming into his own accepting his true calling and having an earth shattering battle which ripped through metropolis like tissue paper. The ending battle resulted in the Death of general Zod. With the destruction of a Wayne

Tech satellite and a few Lexcorp properties we learn that the military has Superman under surveillance because they still do not trust him and are trying to find where he hangs his cape at night a quick line about growing up in Kansas how much American can he get the man of tomorrow flies off. Our Hero Kal-EL also know as Clark Kent decided to find a job where he could keep his ear to ground where no one would suspect him as he is welcome to the "planet" by Lois Lane Clark responses "good to be here Lois." So I believe that obviously the Destruction of the Satelite will come to Bruce waynes attention as well as having to help rebuild metropolis but luthort will not be so forthcoming. I don't believe he will be visiting with the batsuit unless he goes to investigate the suspicious activities that connect to Lexicorp bring on the younger and Cunning Lex Luthor who will most likely dodge all accusations fired at him by Mr.Wayne. Looking at the suit we have seen on the internet of Affleck we know he will probab buly be the seasoned veteran crime fighter and the worlds greatest detective an this suit will only give us a slight connection to the Dark knight trilogy where we last left Bruce wayne who seem to have settled with selina kyle and his manor used to housed the misfortunate an orphaned youth of gotham city but a repaired batsignal on the top of Major Crimes unit building and former officer Robin John Blake standing in the Batcave "rising" into the darkness. Now all this aside in Frank Millers 4 issue 1984 The Dark Knight returns batman has retired gone for 10 years crime in his city has gotten worst crime has taken the souls of the innocent the joker is in a catotonic state harvey dents face an mental state are rehabilitated. Breaking his promise of never again to jason todd the second robin brutally murdered by the joker the caped crusader returns reborn but more volient less reserved superman on the other hand works for the president dealing with the impeding threat from the russians cause them to launch a cold bringer causing a EMP knocking out the entire city and causing very little sunlight this event calls for batman to be the only symbol for law and order. Because his reluctance to heed supermans warning telling bruce to go back in to retirement. The man of steel is called to stop batman peacefully at first until batman throws the first punch with the help of an older one armed green arrow hitts superman with a kryptonite projectile which goes into his lungs not deadly batman tells clark to remember in his private moments to remember the one man who beatman had created an exo suit which gave bruce strength that equalled to supermans to match him in a hand to hand fight but how will this battle transalate to film? synders man of steel didnt have kryptonite as a weakness he was weakened by kryptonian atmospherics. The two titans will battle like lex wants them to where he can finish his secret project which could involve doomsday or the opening of a boom tube to bring darkseid to the the table bring the justice league. Rumor had it that batman would be controling a handful of robots which is straight from the pages of Alex Ross kingdom come where bruce doesnt wear a costume an he is still know as the bat this week kevin smith gave insight into the   color of the batsuit he said pick up the dark knight returns issue hunt the dark knight and those are the colors he will be wearing his blue and gray batsuit a classic idea and we have the annouced title of the film Batman V Superman :Dawn of justice the title hints at the rise of the justice league. As i think about the title doesnt bother me much i am concerned with how people tend to bash acharacter when they are protrayed by another actor i have been guilty of this and now choose to reserve judgment until i can see a final product. Now about 3 years ago Dc came up with the Idea to retell and reboot their characters and stories this marketing strategy was dubbed the new 52 referring to the 52 alternate earths / timelines  in the DC universe. The new 52 origin of the justice league with it founding members at each others throats and not knowing each otherthis was put into the animated film justice league war which wasnt as great as the story or the flashpoint paradox flim and story which where both great stories . SO are reboots really necessary in some cases you could say yes i believe that after the franchise killing fancamp of batman and robin they needed new life and to bring fans back same with superman after weak attempt of superman returns so yes some reboots are needed . Where Dc fell off the map and marvel reign supreme there timeline of solo films to build into the avegers we see how that turned out pretty damn well. Now in terms of rebooted comics some a great especially for the younger generation of fans reboots for movies like spiderman are great but i was born in 1989 im a late80's early 90's comic book tv series geek im Pre new 52 and pre marvel Now . I wont go to far into the age longe debate of who would win with batman vs superman i am a fanboy of both but i favor bats so i wont make this one sided depending on whos writing the story and the scenario but logically Superman could crush batman and it pains me to say that. From comics stand point 9 times out of 10 batman takes it as i close i hope that this film will meet all fans expectations both old and new and that justice league will shock all the haters. Whatever you think might happen feel free to let me know in a comment Thanks for taking time out.
