Superman vs Batman vs...

With a certain announcement of one Ben Affleck taking a certain role, talk has hyped up again of the imminent Superman vs Batman movie. In particular, some people are saying that just having the two of them fighting for the movie will be boring. True enough. And, frankly, unless Superman has a good reason not to, he can put Batman down like that. (Indeed, discussion has already been had around the place about how good a control of his powers Superman must have to not basically destroy everything around him with every breath.)

But there's another possibility here which could be far more interesting... although it still relies on the fight against each other not to take the whole movie (because, yeah, where would the fun be in that?). Just imagine, Superman and Batman and throwing down against each other, then a new fighter appears and smacks them both down... introducing...

Wonder Woman! Yes, we need a movie with the three of them, and what better left field entrance could there be than WW turning up when, by all appearances, DC/WB has forgotten she's even around and should be getting her own movie, never mind appearing with others. This is Wonder Woman! Iconic as all get out in the DC universe! You can't have the JLA without the big three.

(Well you can, but it's a sucky b-grade JLA that no-one remembers, even if it did get a one issue cross over into a more interesting Superman storyline...)

Anyway, that would make the movie matter... so don't expect that to happen any time soon...
