Superman Still Here.
It'd be cool if that comes out in the same year as Batman Continues.
Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm just waiting for the crossover between these two incarnations, because I suspect that it would involve relatively little fighting crime and rather a lot of commisserating about being lonely in a hotel bar somewhere. (And then some making out, assuming I get hired to direct it.)
My ears did perk up when Gotham was mentioned in the background during the Superman-saving-people-everywhere news montage. (And New York is visible on Luthor's Evil Plan Map, which I want to freeze-frame so I can see where they think all three cities are in relation to each other.)

Yes, about all the cities.
(Hmmm, was Bludhaven on that map ?)

Jessica, I had the same reaction to the Gotham mention, and was all "He doesn't need you! Get out of his city!" Because I'm fangirlish like that.
I have a strange conviction I saw a typo in the newspaper article about the museum heist--one of the instances of museum looked like musuem. I have no idea if I'm right, but it stayed in the corner of my head for quite a while.
Back to the beginning--when the music swelled, and the opening titles rolled, it was very heart-swelling and iconic. And then I had a sad moment that Batman doesn't have a music. But I've been told to get over it.

Batman doesn't NEED music.
or maybe Batman has music -- but it's at such a high frequency that we can't hear it.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I've found myself humming the Superman theme from time to time since seeing the movie. The music just fits the character so perfectly.
And then I had a sad moment that Batman doesn't have a music.
Well, I think that depends on the person. I think most people would say the theme from the 60's TV show. Whereas for me, it's the theme from Batman: The Animated Series.

Batman's music is the thumping of the fear-stricken criminals' hearts. Well, that's the baseline. The screams of the women in peril form a harmony with the shrill of the bats, and there's the staccato beat of gunfire, and the duller rhythm of his foot against the bad guys' heads.

And therein lies the problem.

So more like the theme to Batman Beyond.

I was disappointed that the Begins producers decided to order new music instead of using Danny Elfman's theme, because that's pretty much The Batman Music in my head.
DH and I realized after seeing Superman that it is almost impossible to hum a different famous John Williams theme than the one currently in your head. If you have just seen Superman, you will not be able to correctly hum either Star Wars or Indiana Jones without considerable mental effort. They're just too alike.
