Read the article on AICN.com. It's really good concept. Reminds me of Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns, but sounds like a unique story in itself. And, I'm glad they are NOT maintaining continuity with all the other films.
Micheal Keaton was the best Batman because he was able to really play Bruce Wayne and Batman as two distinct personalities. Kilmer is a great actor, but his Bruce Wayne was too serious and straight-laced. Bruce Wayne is supposed to be a carefree bumbling playboy, not a serious and respected businessman. Clooney was just aweful.
I heard a rumor they were thinking of hiring the guy from Louis and Clark and Ripley's Believe It or Not to play Superman. I don't think he has the range to do what they want to do in this story. Also heard talk of Nocholas Cage from when they wanted to do the Death of Superman movie. He's just stiff and doesn't look ANYTHING like Superman.
Who to pick? I need to think about that some more.
(On a side note, did you read the stuff in the Ender's Game article about the inherent racism in Hollywood?)
