Liked that animated clip.
I loved how in that cartoon posted on the previous page Batman was portrayed as more of a rebellious man opposed to Superman, the boy scout. :)
Precisely.
That's his fatal flaw. He doesn't understand the limitations of mortal man like Batman does. He hasn't looked death in the face like Batman, and wasn't formed by the darkness as he was. Therefore Superman can't understand the darkest forms of crime and is unable to do what is necessary to stop them, even if it means breaking limbs. He has too much of a passive reaction to crime, where he will stop any evil going on, but won't do anything beyond a friendly capture to ensure nothing of that sort occurs constantly afterwards. Guys that Superman captures will no doubt do it over and over again because they know he won't hurt them or give them any serious consequences to their crimes. Batman on the other hand takes a more fear based, tactical approach where he will go so far as to pummel guys, where a broken limb or two means they are off the streets for a while afterwards, making Gotham less crime afflicted when he has to take on his biggest foes. He puts the fear inside these thugs, and they will be less likely to return to the streets after he has dealt with them properly.
Superman just doesn't do anything for me, I guess. There are only a few things you can do with him that are interesting, because ironically enough, superpowers have just grown to be boring. I don't give a crap if you can fly, have super strength or heat vision. The heroes that interest me are like Batman, who don't have the easy way out through their powers and who have to face the possibility of death every single day they go out and fight crime. For these reasons and more I find Batman to be a spectacularly interesting character amongst a bunch of snores, like Superman. If I am a bigger DC fan than a Marvel fan, it is single-handily because of Batman, and nobody else.
I agree. Spiderman used to be my favourite when I was a kid but now it's Batman (excluding James Bond of course :) ) for the reasons you provide.
Even with more prep time though, how could Batman win a one on one fight against Superman with all his superpowers? Presuming Batman hasn't any kryptonite on him ofcourse. I'm just wondering. I haven't read the comics, so I'm not all keyed up with it. They said on a movie website that they'd be a showdown between SM and BM in the sequel to Man of Steel. Maybe they didn't mean an actual lengthy fight but who knows... I hope that the new Batman will be as good as Christian Bale. As for the new Batman films, I hope they don't do another reboot. It would just be totally unnecessary after Nolan did such a good job.

Both Batman and Superman have beaten each other tons of times throughout the comics, so there isn't really a definitive winner ever in the ever-changing continuity. Batman is a person who thinks ahead, and creates contingency plans for any of his allies, even Superman and the rest of the JLA (Justice League). They toy with this idea in the comics and also in the brilliant animated shows that DC has released in the past couple of decades. So, Batman has stopped Supes in everything from a metal suit to using a ring of kryptonite.
If this film does happen, it should be interesting since Batman and Superman have such an cool dynamic, which I hope they really play with. The Detective v.s. the Boy Scout.
And with this news, it appears that maybe we could still get Bale as Batman:

Call me crazy.

Could work but I have my extreme doubts. :(
When I get the chance I'll check them out.
Although he doesn't star in it, check out 'Gone Baby Gone' if you haven't seen that, either. He directed that and his brother Casey stars in it. Fantastic movie.

Ironically he was the first serious rumor to replace Christian Bale in the fall 2012
Let the Affleck era of batman begin
He has the look and should be able to give us a great performance, so I look forward to this, though I would prefer Christian. All I want is for Ben to avoid using the overly-rough Batman voice of the Nolan films.

I can't believe they choose Ben, not that it's a bad choice, just not even the direction I would have guessed.

Given the choice though, I would prefer to have Affleck behind the camera than in front of it.
I just wonder why he would want to play that iconic character? Interesting. Maybe he has wanted to for a long time. One thing I think is certain; he won't play it camp or over the top. It's an interesting choice for sure.
Richard Armitage, Karl Urban (my choice) and Eric Bana all better than Ben.
Ben is a studio choice and I doubt if Zak and the writers wanted him IMO.
Of course they could have thrown a ton of money at Bale and we all would have been happy.
Then again Ben was great in playing Superman...maybe that's what got the studio off?
Me too. He'd do a better job than Snyder.
Peculiar career move for Affleck. He seemed to acknowledge that he'd finally found his feet after a slew of bad decisions, Daredevil, Gigli etc. My only conclusion is, how does one turn down Batman? I guess you don't.
