Agreed.
Since the DC Extended Universe's Batman will already have been active for twenty years, I'm kind of treating Batman Begins and The Dark Knight as sort of a semi-canon origin for him until/unless the DCEU makes them incompatible.
Yeah I think as a kid I probably focused a bit more on the serious and dramatic elements of the movies.
Not to mention that a LOT of the stuff I watched back in the 70s and 80s were full of the same kind of camp (BSG, Flash Gordon, Knight Rider, Buck Rogers, Greatest American Hero, etc), so I was probably a lot more immune to it back then!
And they have both played Superman's lover and mother. ...Technically.

But the other one did it with a Superman (technically) who'd go on to become Batman.
Freud would have a field day.
The rumor mill is a churning and it's saying that Man of Steel might get a proper sequel directed by George Miller.
Dat contrast in color tho....And they have both played Superman's lover and mother. ...Technically.

I know it's unlikely, but I think it'd be cool if they fit it in between the events of MOS and BvS so that it actually could be a proper MOS sequel. So we could see more of him learning how to control his powers and adapt to his new secret identity and see how that relationship with Lois actually developed.
Instead of what it probably will be, which is more a sequel to the events of the Justice League, Wonder Woman, and Batman movies.

Lana was never Superman's lover in Superman III. She preferred Clark.

The glasses totally work on you, huh?!
I suspect that this story will be debunked pretty promptly but there's a rumour going round that MOS2 is on 'permanent hold.'

If it's on hold it's probably only because they're so busy with all the other DC movies right now.
Although if BvS is a big enough hit and seems to get people really excited about the character again (in a way MOS apparently didn't), I wouldn't be surprised if WB decided to move the sequel ahead earlier to capitalize.

I would hazard a bet that the complete lack of interest in Fantastic Four by the movie-going masses might have tempered their enthusiasm for pursuing what so far is presenting itself as a borderline-"grimdark" universe of superheroes. If they're reconsidering the tone of the shared universe as a whole, it would make sense to hold off on beginning development of any new films under that umbrella.
That is a hell of a reach - the failure of the fantastic four is connected not to 'grimdark' but that it is shit.
