Batman VS Superman (2004)

Batman Vs. Superman is a cancelled DC Comics film that was scheduled to be released in 2004 and was based on Batman Beyond. The film was written by Andrew Kevin Walker and Akiva Goldsman (who wrote Batman Forever and Batman & Robin) and was going to be directed by Wolfgang Peterson (who directed the 1997 film Air Force One and the first Neverending Story).

Cast

 * Colin Farrell as Bruce Wayne/Batman


 * Jude Law as Superman/Clark Kent

Plot
Lex Luthor manipulates a fight between Batman and Superman. Would be the same as the 2016 film

Why It Was Cancelled

 * 1) The cancellation reasons are currently unknown. The most likely reason is because the crew thought that the original draft of the script was poorly written.
 * 2) Warner Brothers decided to do separate movies instead.

Result

 * In 2016, Warner Brothers released Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice to the big screen and got mostly mixed to negative reviews from critics whilst audiences enjoyed it.
