Taken from peoplenews.com's movie bites section on 24/07/2002:

"Matt Damon is apparently going to be given a choice of playing the Dark Knight or the Man of Steel in Batman vs Superman, the movie that pits the two superheroes against each other. Wolfgang Petersen (The Perfect Storm, Air Force One) has agreed to direct and wants Damon in his cast. 'Matt's an interesting action man and a hell of an actor,' says Petersen, adding that he likes the film's idea. 'It's a clash of the titans. They play off each other so perfectly – Superman is clear, bright, all that is noble and good, and Batman represents the dark, obsessive and vengeful side. It'll make for great drama.' Er, yeah. What he means is it'll make for tremendous action sequences, special effects galore and some sort of sappy Hollywood ending."

So, does anyone else think that this would be the most horrendous peice of miscasting since Richard Harris in Harry Potter?

Matt Damon might just have carried off Spiderman in his younger days, but he's hardly superhero material now.

And as an interesting side line... Who would you like to see as Batman and Superman in this venture (Anyone who says Dean cain gets shot)
