WORLD'S FINEST - Batman & Superman Film to be Directed By DAS BOOT fella - Wolfgang Petersen!!!

Hey Folks, Harry here... Well here we go with yet another BATMAN/SUPERMAN project at Warner Brothers. Lorenzo and crew are determined to figure out something for their superheroes to do. Just a brief recap...

We have the Darren Aronofsky/Frank Miller BATMAN YEAR ONE project, which is a seventies FRENCH CONNECTION-esque Batman movie that uses the YEAR ONE concept as a jumping off point. But we know that Aronofsky is still a bit away while he pounds out his science fiction story on film...

Then we have the Jon Peters SUPERMAN LIVES/DIES/WHO CARES IT'S JON PETERS project, which inevitably will suck ass like a colon cleaner... Although by bringing Paul Attanasio on to write, it might work so long as Jon leaves him alone...

There was the BATMAN BEYOND - Boaz Yakin directing, Paul Dini, Alan Burnett and Neal Stephenson adaptation of the animated series for live action, which apparently fell apart with Boaz, last I heard.

Then there was the SUPERMAN/LOBO story treatment that Keith Giffen brought up and that I heard John Woo was interested in being attached to, but with John doing that TMNT flick, I don't know where this is.

Then there is an unknown BATMAN script that is allegedly being worked on by Paul Dini and Alan Burnett, which rumors say gets Batman out of Gotham and on a world wide adventure. And this is live-action...

NOW... VARIETY is telling the world that Andrew Kevin Walker (screenwriter of SEVEN, THE GAME, 8MM, SLEEPY HOLLOW, etc) is writing a WORLD'S FINEST script that would pair up SUPERMAN and BATMAN on an adventure which is to be directed by WOLFGANG PETERSEN!!!!

Now this project could be the long rumored secret George Clooney development/idea that he had, especially given George's friendship with Wolfgang Petersen.

So which of these projects is going to be made? Who knows? I'd say the attachment of Wolfgang Petersen is very promising, as he is known for making projects that he is attached to, unlike many directors that you hear attached to dozens of things and then you never see those films coughspeilbergcough....

Well that's a lot for you to chew on my friends... We'll see in time which of these comes to pass... For my money though, just give me John Milius' Wachowski produced KING CONAN - CROWN OF IRON, that's what is good in life!
