Shortly after trashing it’s first script, Justice League has been given new life as rumor has it Christian Bale is in talks to reprise his role as The Dark Knight in a JLA film. Similar rumors dictate that Christopher Nolan has been named “godfather” of the entire DCU at WB Studios. While both news stories are rumors and should be taken lightly, Justice League is looking a lot better than it was a couple weeks ago.
Meanwhile, a source claiming to have seen an early screening of Man of Steel is claiming that it is “the best movie of the year”. Which let’s be honest is pretty stupid because it’s only March, and the movie isn’t even out yet. Nevertheless, many think a Superman/Batman film starring Bale/Cavill is the most effective segway into an ensemble Justice League film. And they make some pretty good points. Why do Superman and Batman make such a powerful dynamic duo? Because an Artisan/Guardian symbiosis is a powerful thing. Let’s take a look.

Artisans and Guardians constitute roughly 80% of the population. Working together with astounding efficiency, both Artisans and Guardians live in the real concrete world of facts and reality. The two temperaments are just as grounded as they are numerous, and thus the synergy between the two is a common and powerful thing. Artisans seem to treasure having someone there to keep score, dot the I’s and check the T’s: while the Guardians like having someone with talent to go out there and be aggressive, kickstart enterprises and court and charm potential partners and customers.
Kal El or Clark Kent also known as Superman is the stoic, steadfast, and courageous Man of Steel who seeks sanctuary in the Fortress of Solitude.
