Less Man Of Steel And More Dark Knight For Batman V Superman?

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will be bursting onto our screens is just over six months, and we’ve already heard that Warner Bros. executives are raving about Ben Affleck’s performance as The Dark Knight. So much so, that there are rumours of Batfleck getting his own trilogy, while Henry Cavill’s Big Blue Boy Scout is still without his own solo follow-up. Now, another rumour has come our way which shows the future may not be too bright for Superman’s big screen career. With the movie now in the final editing stages, Heroic Hollywood is reporting that the studio has requested Batman’s role gets beefed up quite bit, at the expense of Superman’s.

The latest trailer already gave me the feeling that we could see more of The Dark Knight than the Man of Steel, but if this turns out to be true it could a be a lot less than anyone expected, meaning that title could be incredibly one sided. Of course, a pinch of salt must be taken, but if it does pan out it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone . Batman has always been the most bankable of Warner Bros. DC Comics properties, I think we all know that. Their attempt at leading with Green Lantern crashed and burned, and while Man of Steel is in no way a flop, it’s commercial and critical impact might have not been what Warner Bros. wanted. So, switching focus to Batman does make sense. Of course, we’ll have to see how this goes as this is still firmly in the realm of the rumour at this point.
