DC's "World's Finest" Coming to the Big Screen!

"I want you to remember, Clark, in all the years to come, in all your most private moments, I want you to remember my hand at your throat. I want you to remember the one man who beat you."
-From Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns

And with those words, Henry Lennix (who played General Swanwick in Man of Steel) revealed to a packed audience at San Diego's Comic-Con yesterday that Batman and Superman will finally unite on the big screen in 2015. While this will not be DC's long-awaited Justice League movie, this film (not officially titled World's Finest, by the way) will pave the way for Warner Bros' answer to Marvel's The Avengers...despite the fact its sequel, The Avengers 2 (a.k.a. Avengers: Age of Ultron) theatrically gets released in 2015 as well. (Along with Star Wars: Episode VII, Independence Day 2, Avatar 2, etc...)





It has also been confirmed yesterday that Christian Bale will indeed not be the one who faces off (and then teams up) with Henry Cavill in director Zack Snyder's next installment of the Superman franchise. It will be interesting to find out who gets cast as the new Bruce Wayne (though PLEASE do not show his origin story again... Wayne's parents can be shot only so many times on the movie screen), though I'm more fascinated to see how the Batsuit, Batmobile and even Batwing will be re-imagined for the upcoming flick. Will the Batsuit look like the high-tech armor in Christopher Nolan's films, or the more simple latex design from Tim Burton's flicks? Will the Batmobile be similar to the sleek auto that the Caped Crusader rescued Vicki Vale with in 1989's Batman? Or will it be another cop car-smashing tank like the Tumbler? Will the Batwing— Ah, you get the point. Can't wait to see the next reincarnation of the Dark Knight as he helps the Man of Steel finally usher in the age of the Super Friends at the cinemas. Woohoo.
