DC Universe’s Batman & Superman Plans Make 1 Great Crossover Impossible

:0:0

A great Superman/Batman legacy crossover is already impossible in the new DC Universe. DC Studios' Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters is set to tell one large story across film, TV, and gaming in the DCU, and will also reboot Batman and Superman. While not much is known about the upcoming Superman: Legacy and The Brave and the Bold films, the DC Universe’s new takes on Superman and Batman are both bringing elements that have never been part of those characters’ live action cinematic history: their sons.
For example, The Brave and the Bold will see the live-action debut of Damian Wayne, Batman’s son who becomes Robin. Not only will The Brave and the Bold be Damian’s big screen debut, but it will also be the first live-action film to feature a Robin since 1997’s Batman & Robin. Superman: Legacy, on the other hand, will focus on an early-career Superman without telling an origin story.
