No they believed that because they desperately wanted it to be true. If you put together your intelligence on the based on creating an excuse to do what you're gonna do you can discover some amazing things!
man i still can't get behind the premise of batman v. superman
i don't really care what the comics tried to do, there's no way batman would remotely stand a chance if superman actually wanted to fight him ... so the story has to be pretty lame
I mean realistically these are people that solve their problems by beating the fuck out of people so I guess it makes sense that they can't just take five minutes to talk shit out.
I guess if you approach it from the idea that Superman doesn't really want to serious damage to Batman there's some chance there. But in the trailers for this one he's straight up shooting lasers at Bats so welp.
Yeah, this is a Superman who was willing to level his own city to take out one guy. He should have no problem just throwing Batman into space or something.
I mean being able to come up with a solution to stop the nearly unstoppable is one of the cool thing s about Batman but this is Superman, being actually unstoppable is sort of the point.
It's weird how DKR started the trend of Batman beating Superman, but people always forget Batman's plan in that was: hold out for a few minutes, fake heart attack.
