Christian Bale Almost Played Superman in "Batman vs Superman"
Posted: March 15th, 2010 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
Back in 2003, before Bryan Singer's "Superman Returns" and Christopher Nolan's "Batman Begins," director Wolfgang Petersen (Perfect Storm, Outbreak) was set to helm "Batman vs Superman," a big-budget film that set two of the biggest DC Comics' superheroes against each other.

Now, MTV News has caught up with Petersen who revealed that Christian Bale (The Dark Knight) was among the two actors he met for the role of Superman, with Josh Harnett being the second candidate.

“It was pretty close,” Petersen said about the movie. “And then the studio got a single Superman script I think from JJ Abrams at that time, and [Warner Bros chief] Alan Horn was so torn – because it’s such a fascinating concept to do a Batman versus Superman film. But the studio decided to try separate version of Superman and Batman, and then maybe think about down the road if you want to bring them together in one film.”

The director added that the studio wanted to keep him on board and thus offered him another project, "Troy."
