I think you're the same guy I had this argument with before, so I really don't want to have it again.

Suffice to say that I believe that, in-universe, the origins of Superman and Batman are...

You might be right about GL. But I don't think that should be a problem with Batman, since Batman isn't exactly a 'superhero' and wouldn't really be considered as one until Superman and the others...

Well, it seems very likely that WB WILL be making some attempt at having references/easter eggs to other DC heroes/franchises...even if the planned JL movie DOESN'T take off. And I think a...

Well, that wasn't ENTIRELY the case in the Pre-Flashpoint DCU (especially after IC).

Grant Morrison went to great pains to bring back all the forgotten Silver Age silliness of the 50's/early 60's...

Well, the inclusion of Kara Zor-El, even as part of Superman's backstory; as well as the reference to Thanagar, does seem to indicate WB's commitment to a shared universe, or at least, their hopes...

I think I agree with you there. Superman is not a machine programmed solely by his ideals and worldview...he's a human being who makes different decisions under different circumstances (yeah, I know...

Well, using the same analogy of a real-world philanthropist, one might apply the same argument to him. The people who don't receive his help may criticize him, and he may even feel guilty about it,...

Plus, MOS has the advantage of being a Superman film...the first Superman film in seven years! There's also the hype around Nolan's involvement and this being the 'Batman Begins' of the Superman...

Right, so Bruce Timm basically changed the look of Batman, to fit into the S:TAS 'universe'.

As far as Zatanna goes, the original TAS version of her was a stage magician, and not really a...

That's precisely my point about the Marvel Universe being generally more integrated and cohesive than DC.

The one exception to the rule seems to be the DCAU. And even there, they needed to retool...

Well, I assume that's precisely what he and other writers tried up till this point. But as he himself has said in interviews, after a point there was very little left of YO in the New 52 to work...

This confirms my suspicion that the future in 'Battle for the Atom' was triggered by Teen Jean causing some kind of catastrophe...thus, the reason why the future X-men want to send her back to the...

This makes for some interesting reading...

Yeah, I think that's a great point.

Personally, I think a kind of cross between the Nolanverse and the TAS would be the way to go. The world should feel real and credible, even if there are people...

Again, this really depends on WHICH Superman you're talking about. Because, more than his backstory and a thousand other aesthetic details, the one thing the reboot (both in the comics as well as the...

Then again, I always thought Riddler fit the part of a behind-the-scenes manipulator perfectly.

Mild SPOILERS again


His interviews on other sites, especially Comic Vine, give out more details about the setting.

The 'Red Hood Gang' is apparently THE premier criminal organization of...

Precisely. Obviously the elements I've mentioned are very much present in the source material, but I was talking in context of the movies.

We know Batman is getting his New 52 origin in 'Zero Year' (Batman # 21-31). And Superman had his origin in Action Comics # 1-8. Flash had his in Flash # 0.

Where can I find the New 52 origins of...

I'm hoping that at the very least, they follow through with a Superman/Batman team-up!

Mild SPOILERS


So I think its pretty much been confirmed that we will be seeing 'pre-Joker' specifically in this arc, and there's a strong possibility that he might fall into the vat of chemicals...

Just to clarify, its not that I don't want Wonder Woman and Aquaman to be in the JL. I'm just saying that if WB wants to develop their shared universe gradually and organically the way Marvel did,...

And that kind of 'loose canon' is precisely what can turn fans off.

Back when the New 52 began, people were clamoring to know about Batman's continuity and how it has changed. DC is finally giving...

I think its time to make these facts clear-

1. Year One IS a great story, possibly THE greatest Batman story ever told. No one would dispute that.

2. Year One IS a great origin story for...

When talking about the (inevitable) Batman reboot, everyone has been focusing mostly on what should be DIFFERENT from the Nolanverse interpretation of the mythos. Well, while that makes sense, let us...
