HOLLYWOOD - Comic book superheroes Batman and Superman will do battle on the bigscreen if upcoming movies featuring the caped crusaders are hits at the box
office.
Movie mogul Wolfgang Petersen was originally attached to a Batman vs. Superman
project in 2001, but casting agents struggled to find two top stars to fill the
lead roles and the idea was shelved.
But Batman Begins producer Charles Roven is convinced the two men in tights
will meet up--and he's keen to have their current incarnations, Christian Bale
and Brandon Routh, in the title roles.
He tells Website IESB.com, "It all depends on the success of Batman Begins
and Superman Returns. The current script is superb."
In Batman vs. Superman, the Caped Crusader's girlfriend dies and Superman is
blamed. This leads to a conflict between the two crime fighters.
