Quote:In the Injustice – Gods Among Us story, Superman's archenemy Lex Luther creates a pill that gives anyone the same physiology as Superman. It is very satisfying to see Batman's butler break Superman's nose. And Superman deserved it, too.

Hi Second.
Well I wish them well with whatever they do with it. I still can't really equate Superman with Batman, but then I've never really been a comic book fan. So maybe this film is just not for me...
I'm not happy that Wonder Woman is on Superman's side. She should be kicking his ass. Even weirder, Superman and Lex Luther are on the same side. The reasons are complicated. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Injustice:_Gods_Among_Us#Comics

Same age Cavill was in the first flick, only a couple years younger than Bale was in Begins. 28 years is plenty of time to have a past.

He's producing it, just like the last one.

Quote:I bet you're right, since Superman has political ambitions in Injustice – Gods Among Us. He's a parallel universe Superman who decides that Earth, for its own good, needs him as a benevolent Dictator. This universe's Superman has to visit that universe's Superman to beat some sense into his head. I don't think movie audiences will ever be ready for a story that twisted.

The story in the movie will probably be no more complicated than NYC (I meant
Gotham City) attacked by Aliens, Superman to the rescue. Wonder Woman will assist him. For inevitable conflict implied in the title Batman vs. Superman, Batman's mind will be controlled by Aliens. Marvel used mind control twice in Avengers, so DC might copy that.

Is Superman A Fascist? from http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/12/06/is-superman-a-fascist/
Richard Cooper worries that “comic-book movies are all about superior beings dominating everybody else”:
The main problem is force: sheer physical force, which lies at the heart of the superhero myth. . . Superman triumphs by being able to move faster and hit harder than everyone else: essentially a fascist concept. … Fascism also relies on people who must be crushed. The Batman films — and indeed the entire Batman mythos — are based on the idea that what criminals really need is a damn good thrashing, because it’s the only language these punks understand. The vicarious thrill in seeing Batman yell “Swear to me!” at some pitiful creep who swears to God he doesn’t know anything is for the nasty-minded child in all of us: an innocent pleasure until you start to think about the politics.
Chris Yogerst is unimpressed by this argument:
This reading of superheroes is common but wrong, a symptom of trying to impose political ideology on a universal, fictional myth. Superheroes do say something about the real world, but it’s something pretty uncontroversial: We want to see good triumph over evil, and “good” in this case means more than just defeating the bad guy—it means handling power responsibly.
The “fascism” metaphor breaks down pretty quickly when you think about it. Most superheroes defeat an evil power but do not retain any power for themselves. They ensure others’ freedom. They rarely deal with the government, and when they do it is with wariness, as in the Iron Man films, where Tony Stark refuses to hand over control of his inventions.
Devin Faraci adds that not all superheroes are alike:
It’s telling that Batman and Superman predate WWII; they both come from an age when little guy America wanted to be seen as tough. The Marvel heroes, though, come from a time when America was trying to juggle its self-image as the underdog with the reality of being the biggest, toughest kid on the block. These heroes were created during the Vietnam War – Iron Man’s first origin is explicitly set in Vietnam – and they reflect the cognitive dissonance we feel as ‘good guys’ who could also wipe out the Earth at a moment’s notice. If anything there’s a discomfort with power and force inherent in the Marvel heroes that is anti-fascist. … [In the X-Men franchise, w]e have the hated mutants working to change society’s view of them, working to remove institutionalized racism and, at the same time, doing it peacefully. The X-Men come into conflict almost exclusively with their own kind, and that conflict is about stopping violence, even when that violence is a reaction to hate. And they’re led by a guy who is so physically unsuperior he can’t even walk.

I wouldn't expect mind control either. The whole movie won't be Bats v Supes - I doubt we get more than a couple scenes with them directly at odds.
More likely, we'll get something like this: Bruce Wayne partners with Lex Luthor to rebuild Metropolis after the destruction of the first film. Wayne/Batman will use this opportunity to study/vet this new alien force which claims to be good - but could be the greatest threat to the world, ever. I expect him to be the one to discover Kryptonite (or something similar) to keep "just in case."
Meanwhile, Lex will be whipping up public sentiment against Supes, and will produce some sort of "fighting villain" like Metallo (possibly secretly using Wayne tech, or stolen kryptonite, leading Bats to investigate Luthor more closely).
Diana will likely be a smaller role, setting things up down the line, possibly an envoy from the Amazons set to contact the world of man once the threat of Zod and potentially Superman means they can no longer remain hidden.
In the end, Batman will have to help a weakened Superman defeat Luthor and Metallo (or whoever), with maybe a bit of pinch-hitting assistance from Wonder Woman.

Quote:I get the feeling that comic book movies are drifting far, far away from any remotely believable or possible reality. I pine away for more realistic sci-fi. I get nostalgic for Firefly. Superman seems like a story invented during the Great Depression by Jewish teenagers who just wanted to fight back in their imaginations against gentile bullies. Kid stuff in other words.

There are three essays about what got broke in Man of Steel (2013). It was like the movie was written by lazy, poorly informed children.
