Or, you know, Synder and co. could surprise us all, focusing more on the Bruce/Clark element of the relationship rather than the whole Batman/Superman thing. In the comics (and WB cartoons) the pair's interactions out of costume are almost as fun as the spandex ones. Perhaps best of all is the Batman/Superman animated movie which came in the wake of the popular Batman and Superman animated series. Kevin Conroy's goofy Bruce Wayne took great relish rubbing Clark's nose in their rivalry; flirting with Lois Lane and generally acting like the massive tool Wayne has always pretend to be. Batman/Superman Annual #1 again tells the story of Batman and Superman's first meeting. Here Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent meet on a luxury cruise liner and, through a series of unfortunate events, wind up accidentally booked into the same room. You'd think that being one of the richest men in the world might save Bruce from such embarrassing incidents, but, no, the pair find themselves sharing a bed. The face of Tumblr never the same again. In the unlikely event that Snyder decides to go for the comedic angle in the pair's meeting, it could work. No, really, it could.
