Or that someone close to Batman Fucking dies, which freaks him out and pits him against Superman? In the case of BvS, it looks like a studio decision they are unsure about their batting average in this genre and that has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the fantasy that they hate these kinds of films , but the only way a studio will change its mind once the plug has been pulled is if the producer Petersen musters his forces and gets them to greenlight the project. I thought the released version was better for NOT showing this; leaving more up to the imagination. From BATMAN vs. SUPERMAN to just BATMAN? Somewhere along the lines of 'Year One' ideas? And that is what I love about Batman Porn. If the film every does happen, it will be without Aronofsky. In his latest Hot Button column, David Poland wisely speculates that with Batman vs. Superman delayed for nearly two years and no casting set, the likelihood of any of the previously rumored actors actually appearing in the film seems unlikely now. But BOF suggests that you don't hold your breath for it to happen! Filming is to begin later this year. I got a unconfirmed report that Chris Nolan intends to have the script completed for his BATMAN ANIME film by the end of the summer. The disappointment of Batman fans with the demise of 'Batman vs. Superman' is not lost on the studio.
