10 Signs Warner Bros. Have No Clue About Batman V Superman

8. Turning Batman Into Iron Man

A few weeks ago some more leaks revealed a little more about Batman's new suits - the one glimpsed in the Comic Con teaser is reportedly imbued with Kryptonite and boasts rocket launchers. Now this initially sounds like Snyder's invoking The Dark Knight Returns, Frank Miller's landmark comic which saw an older Batman take on Superman, but subsequent talks of actual super-powers within the suit suggest a more recent point of reference. Since The Dark Knight marked the zenith of Batman on screen, Iron Man has come up and taken the crown of 'Favourite Superhero Whose Superpower Is Money'. The once B-List hero (who names themselves after a bland transition metal?) is now the biggest name on the planet and it looks like Batman's going to try and win that title back by... copying him? Sure, he's always had gadgets and stuff, but the heavily armoured get-up sounds like it's in direct competition with Ol' Shellhead. And frankly it's ridiculous. To quote Batman himself, he's Batman. By all means create an in-world justification for how he can legitimately take on the Man of Steel, but remember that he's the trailblazer, not the imitator.
