More From Over the Hedge
Tue it actually comes from the seminal 1986 4 issue The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller. The story is different as in that it is in the future and Batman has retired and is super jaded while Supes is basically a pawn of the government. He comes back to stop him. He uses all sorts of tricks to stop the Man of Steel.
Trekman this is when they do not know each other yet. Batman just sees an incredible threat to the world that he has to try to stop. He has always been about vengeance. They are going to fight at first but at some point they are going to communicate or Supes is going to do something to show Bats that he is not really a threat. Hence, Dawn of Justice.
