Depends if you count Bat-Mite.
...I'm sorry.

But yeah, that's a really extreme example. Affleck could easily get in shape for it.[/QUOTE]
Wee Man would make an excellent Batman and don't you fucking dare tell me otherwise.
[QUOTE=LMFAO;43637901]wait, why is this a thing, superman would destroy batman no challenge[/QUOTE]
They've squared off before, and it's never a straight up punching contest. That would be silly! Superman is an overpowered character who can't really be "beaten" by any other DC hero in a brawl, but the best writers use that to their advantage. The whole "Kryptonite Magic Bullet" answer is a cop-out, and so the best writers ignore it, and instead focus on highlighting the fact that Superman is still an imperfect mind. He's susceptible to manipulation, deceit, rage, and even insanity. My favorite Superman stories are where his values have become compromised, and he turns into the villain (Injustice League, the Justice Lords, etc).
Batman is the tactical genius of the DC team. He can outsmart and outmaneuver everyone else. Brains vs brawn, you know?

Aren't they quite overdone by now?
"Say Bob, let's try writing something else about Superman for once."
"Like what? Oh I know, how about if Superman realises he's about to die due to some sickness he contracted or if he was accidentally sent to hell or if-
"Nah, let's just turn him bad."
However, have you read Red Son? I think you might like it a lot. It's a neat little Elseworld story where Superman is raised in the Soviet Union. You have the whole 'Superman is not the shining beacon of light and hope' but it's still quite clever. Loads better than Injustice.
Red Son has some of the most hilariously badass alternate designs for DC characters ever.

[QUOTE=DeVotchKa;43636016]You know, all of you are getting pissy with me. It's my opinion, i'm sorry you disagree with it and hey, you may be right and i'm just jumping the gun here, you don't need to get so offended. Also, I thought Heath Ledger would have made a great joker and I was right.[/QUOTE]
Don't worry, this isn't about you
On the same note, Marvel did an alternate reality thing with Daredevil, Spiderman, Wolverine, Punisher, Iron Man, Luke Cage and most of the X-Men set in a 1930s Film Noir universe.

Nevertheless, it's much more entertaining and clever than, "haha, Superman! I have tricked you into chewing [I]Kryptonite Bubblegum![/I] Enjoy your minty doom!"

Very true. Green Kyrptonite anything is usually dumb anyway. Still, I dunno imo, Bad Superman is more for shock value.
But if you're interested in Red Son and not too interested in going out and buying it, you could try watching the 'motion comic'. It's basically just the comic with voices and limited animation. Some pieces are missing but it's not too bad.

I feel like this whole movie idea is dumb
What's the point of making them face each other when Superman's so stupidly powerful he could turn batman into vanilla pudding in the first minute of the movie

Batman VS Superman likely isnt the title, the movie is more of a team up movie.
IMO, they should go with 'World's Finest.'
