In the comics, Bruce Wayne is set up for a murder and Batman figures out that he really can't prove his innocence without giving up his secret identity. So he bails on being Bruce Wayne. Batman is the real person, Wayne is the face he puts on in public.
Superman is Clark Kent is Superman. He's a completely different animal. He's Ma and Pa Kents' boy first, unstoppable alien superhero second.
This is why you can't treat Superman like Batman.
That, and Batman fights streetcrime while Superman fights hurricanes. This is something that seems very difficult for movie-types to grasp.
Bruce Wayne is the mask because he's a performance. Rarely is whatever Bruce is pretending to think or feel actually genuine.
In Arrow, both Oliver Queen and the Arrow are performances. Ollie is most genuine around Team Arrow when he is parts of both.
Neither Superman nor Clark Kent is a performance. As Clark he is pretending to not have superpowers, sure, but it is otherwise real.

DC should make a Superman movie about this new thing with Superman I'm hearing about where he's been significantly de-powered. I've never really been interested in Superman at all, but seeing some preview pages showing how he's so fascinated with all of these new little things that he's never gotten to experience before or he's taken for granted are really interesting to me.
Like I didn't know that normal Superman was just never hungry. Did he even need to eat?
EDIT: Woah, what am I saying. A movie about how Sups gets to slow down and appreciate the little things in life and be happy or fascinated with them? That's definitely not dark enough for a DC film.

I think Clark would be happier without powers, so that he wouldn't feel compelled to use them for good.

If you offered Clark the deal that he give up his powers but that anything bad he could have stopped if he had powers would still be stopped I think he'd be on board that in like five seconds flat. He'd go live a normal life and raise little Clark's and Lois's and be perfectly content.

From what I remember, he gets energy from food but depletes it quickly if he starts using his powers.
His solar batteries are the last form of energy he uses as he burns through fat and shit. He can eat and enjoy it, but doesn't necessarily get that satiation that you and I would get.
Imagine if you could just chow down on bags and bags of Cheetos with no regard of your own health. They'd sort of lose their appeal after a bit.

I do not think that's the case for Batman.
I doubt Clark would willingly give them up his powers, regardless of any guarantees, as that would be the same as not using them. But if he somehow permanently lost them from say, I don't know, Gold Kryptonite, he'd be all right with that.

You end up like those bodybuilders who have to eat so much they end up eating the same bland bland every day.

I wonder if superman gets "hungry" under a yellow sun. Like there's no food in his stomach, does he just not require it if his cells have energy stores or does he get hungry like you and I?
That would suck if every time he used his powers he got hungry.

The part I find most galling about SS is that when it comes out people will go to watch it just for batman.
This is closely followed by the fact that despite the photos making this look like a festering pile of crap it's almost assuredly going to make a shit ton of money.
Slightly behind that is that if it doesn't make north of $60 million the execs are going to blame the shortage of batman.
More Batman would probably make it a better movie based on what I'm seeing so far.
We should just not have SS and just have batman I think.
We should have a movie where a random mook just shoots bruce in the side of the head there by removing him permanently from the cinematic canon so that other characters who have never gotten a chance at development can actually get some exposure. Bonus points if they bring a completely new character in to try and take up his mantle several years down the road who isn't a perfect ubermensch.
Like, I would rather watch a movie about any of the d-list characters from The Super Friends then one more movie with batman in it. Characters like Black Vulcan, Samurai, The wonder twins (with there blue space monkey gleek) and apache chief (who grows to a huge size when he yells about inuit sculptures).
Because batman is a character who has had in the last 26 years 4 animated series he headlined, 2 justice league series where he was prominent, 7 live action movies, 15 dedicated animated movies and 11 JL ones where he features prominently. There is no ground left to cover with this guy, no stories left to tell, no corners to his personality or psyche that haven't been done at least twice by this point.

They were pretty close to making the Justice League movie. They had a cast. They had a script. They had lots of concept art. They even got the cast together. They were far enough into it that the writer strike alone might not have been the sole reason why it was canceled.

They had costumes made, locations approved and were days from starting shooting before it got canceled.
Fury Road was distributed by WB. So WB has a working relationship with George Miller and they can hire him for a DC film. I think Miller would be great for a Jonah Hex movie.

Too soon after the catastrophe that was the last Jonah Hex movie.
Technically they're not - I don't know why B v S doesn't count to WB but what can you do? It's telling in the scheduling there aren't any new MOS sequels planned for Superman.

Last Airbender being directed by Shyamalan wasn't exactly a secret. Although, I don't think anyone could have predicted that it was going to be that bad.

I might not even need to watch the finished product. I might be sated on all these little details alone.
I can't believe they finally have a decent on screen comic batman and they're ruining it with this shit.

Terry McGennis?
Yup.
We almost got one.
Why must you say these things that hurt me so.
They had costumes made, locations approved and were days from starting shooting before it got canceled.
That's why I'm curious to see if they'll want Miller to direct their new Justice League movie.

Couple years back.
2010?

...now I'm sorry I asked.
EDIT: And they opened the same day as Toy Story 3. Just... damn.
In the same week that it came out, there was also the last airbender and predators.
Not in a hundread years could I have predicted that predators would be head and shoulders better then the other two.
Yeah, we all thought "surely Nick will reign him in a bit, right?"
Nope.
