You perception of Bale and Downey is spot on. It would definitely help the Superman franchise 'get over' with the public at large and erase the growing pains of Man Of Steel. But will it happen? I don't know. Everyone has their price and I'm sure that if they offer Bale 20 Million or percentages of the movies back end, he may just in fact 'suit up' one more time. All I ask is that we are done with Batman Origin story. If I have to sit through another one, I will kill Goyer.
