Even though 2016 is two years away, anticipation is high for the "Batman vs Superman" film. Here are 5 things, that I hope Snyder and team do, to make MOS 2 awesome.
5) Make Batman more powerful.
If the Christian Bale batman fought with the Henry Cavill Superman, face it- Batman would stand no chance. I mean he barely beat Bane, would he really be able to go toe to toe with the man of steel? To be able to have a fight with Superman, Batman will need one of these two things: amazing tech, or kryptonite.
At the end Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns, Batman and Superman have a fight, and Batman wins. He wears a mechanical suit that makes him stronger, uses a device to shock Superman with electricity, and a gun that emits sound waves which seemed to give Superman an pretty bad headache.
Batman also uses kryptonite often when he fights with the "man of tomorrow." You can see this in "Hush" where he used a ring made out of kryptonite and also in "Dark Knight Returns" where Batman has Green Arrow shoot a kryptonite arrow at Superman during the course of their fight, which ultimately helps him win. It doesn't matter which route they choose, but I would personally prefer them to give batman cooler tech, and not use the classical "Kryptonite weapon."
4) Not concentrate as much on supporting characters.
It is getting crowded in "Man of Steel 2". We know Wonder woman, Cyborg, Alfred and Lex luther are all in the movie, and all 4 characters have very rich backgrounds that would be cool to explore. However, I hope that they stick mostly to two main characters: Batman and Superman. Now granted, it will be cool to see all these other characters, as long as they are not the main focus of the story. I really hope that Cyborg and Wonder woman only have an appearance in this movie, and don't actually play a big role, this is not Justice league, it's still a superman movie; but I'll talk about that later. The point is, Batman and Superman are very cool characters, and I hope that most of the screen time is devoted to them and not the supporting cast.
3) Have Batman actually cause some harm to Superman
This relates to point 5, but is still it's own thing. I hope that when the two superheroes fight, Batman will actually cause some harm to Superman. In the first Man of Steel, Superman constantly took bullets and punches, but didn't even have a scratch. What is the fun of having a fight between Batman and Superman, if we know that nothing can happen to the Man of Steel. I don't know how they are going to address this, but I would personally love to see some Kryptonian blood running out of Kent's nose.
2) Give Luther a good motivation.
We don't know how big of a role Luther is going to play in this movie. Maybe he will just be set up for a future movie, maybe he will be the main villain, but the point is - he needs a good motivation. In Singer's 2006 "Superman returns" Luther wants to make a new continent out of rocks, so he can sell lots of land and get lots of Money. That villain motivation sucks. It's very generic and is boring. Imagine how cool it would be if this was Luthor's motivation: The world just found out that Superman is an all mighty being from another planet. Another guy from his planet (General Zod) destroyed half of Metropolis by stopping by and saying hi. Where is the guarantee, that Superman is not going to turn evil and do the same? That is why, Luther starts an anti-superman campaign, trying to make superman leave, or perhaps find a weapon against him. On the surface it seems like a good and reasonable plan, but behind the scenes Luthor is actually planning something horrible. This would also explain why Batman would be fighting Superman. Wayne would first join Luther in his worries about superman, but later find out who the real villain is.
1) Don't have this movie set up Justice League.
One of the biggest problems with "The amazing Spiderman 2" was that is was merely setting up future movies and concentrated on establishing characters more than on the plot of the actual movie. This is also a danger for MOS 2. That is why it worries me to hear that Wonder Woman and Cyborg are in this movie. I hope that they don't try to stuff in as much references and plot points to future movies, and concentrate on the important things, like developing the MAIN characters.
