<i>HOLLYWOOD, California (Reuters) -- Wolfgang Petersen ("The Perfect Storm") will direct "Batman vs. Superman," with the major release targeted for a 2004 premiere via Warner Bros., Variety reports.

In a script penned by Andrew Kevin Walker ("Seven"), the two superheroes are allies who come to mighty blows over what Petersen describes as differing philosophies.

"It is a clash of the titans," Petersen told Daily Variety. "They play off of each other so perfectly. (Superman) is clear, bright, all that is noble and good, and Batman represents the dark, obsessive and vengeful side. They are two sides of the same coin and that is material for great drama."




In April 1998, after spending millions on scripts and director attachments, studio worldwide production president Lorenzo di Bonaventura pulled the plug on "Superman Lives" during pre-production. Despite a prodigious investment of time and money, the project suffered from a bloated budget and less-than-airtight script.

However, Petersen emphasized that his film is not a continuation of the previous series, last brought to the big screen in 1987's "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace."

Similarly, development continues on a standalone "Superman" with "Charlie's Angels" director McG, writer J.J. Abrams and producer Jon Peters, as well as Darren Aronofsky and Frank Stack's "Batman: Year One." </i>

I only hope it is as good as the cartoon Batman and Superman. Granted it is different but they had good stories and everything.

As for the contest...how can batman even compeat? I mean he can get as many toys as he wants but still.

Ok, will do.
Just wanted to say I was more interested in the tidbit about Ender's Game.

Anyone here old enough to remember a now rare movie "Batman vs The Green Hornet" from about '67? I remember that from when I was a kid but they never show any Green Hornet re-runs on TV (or cable) nor have I seen that movie listed since then.
I can't really see Batman vs Superman as Batman has no real superpowers per-se so I'd think that Superman could easily kick his butt in short order.

When they did this in the comics, batman had a exoskeliton that was super beafed up and what not...It worked in a comic book, but im not to sure about how they will pull it off in the movies. He will probably have baterangs with kriptonaite on hte tips or something liek that.

I have seen a few Green lanters on tv, but nothig nin the past 10 years.
