Subject to change, but recent rumours about casting and story line:

THR cites "numerous sources" that the studio looks to cast a Bruce Wayne/Batman in "the late 30s or around the 40 mark" and the character will be "established and rugged."


Reportedly, the six actors at the top of the studio and director's current list are:


"Oldboy" and "Men in Black 3" star Josh Brolin



"Gangster Squad" star Ryan Gosling




"True Blood" actor Joe Manganiello




"The Hobbit" co-star Richard Armitage




"Pacific Rim's" Max Martini





"Watchmen" actor Matthew Goode.

I think I could get on board for Brolin.. he has been good in everything Ive seen him in lately.

However, this list will likely change, as Snyder's script has reportedly not been written yet. As a result, the additional rumor reported by THR -- that the "Batman versus Superman" concept will "aim for the tone" of the duo's fight in Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns" -- is also subject to change. Although Frank Miller reportedly meeting with Snyder about the film certainly lends credence to the idea that "The Dark Knight Returns" will play some kind of role in the development of the film.

Interesting idea. Spoilered for speculation/possible plot line spoiler.

Spoiler!

I can see this as being a way to pit them against each other, the Man of Steel sworn to protect earth and promises to fight on the side of the law, Batman is more of a maverick rogue who does things his way and deals out his own justice. Superman confronts him about this, advantage Batman as Superman will look for any possible way out besides violence. This could also lead to Batman discovering kryptonite to weaken Superman, or some sort of red sun ray gun, that could then be adopted by Luthor or other villains in future movies... like a end credits scene of Luthor picking up the weapon out of the wreckage of one of their tilts.

Tough to pull off, but an interesting concept. Start them as enemies then give then a greater purpose or reason to unite. Which then leads into a JLA movie.
