1. Batman and Superman: World’s Finest Duo

For years, we’ve had Batman existing in his own world, from Adam West to Christian Bale. Back then, despite WB having Superman in their pocket, we never got to see the Man of Steel and Batman on the same screen. It wasn’t until Zack Snyder brought World’s Finest together in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

It was the first time ever that fans got a chance to see two of DC’s finest team up on the big screen. There’s a rich history of the duo teaming up that started in 1939. There’s no reason why we shouldn’t see that happen again. Yes, it can happen in Matt Reeves’ Batman.

No, asking Reeves to feature David Cornsweet’s Superman in his final movie wouldn’t take away from anything. It’s as simple as the tried and true post-credit scene.

Have Clark Kent find his way into Gotham, pretending to write a story about the Dark Knight, but his true motive is to dig up some info on Batman to see if he’s real. It opens up the floodgates for a fun chess match we saw in the comics and brought to life during the heyday of Batman and Superman’s animated series.
