This is why we can’t have nice things!

I’ve heard endless complaints from movie-goers about the dearth of remakes and unoriginal material that Hollywood continues to churn out like a giant assembly line of suck so prolific, Henry Ford himself would be proud. Heck, even I complain about it on occasion. But it’s screenplays like this one for Asylum (Superman v. Batman) that take it to the next level. Not only does it tarnish two legendary American icons, it would murder their movie franchises if it were ever released. After reading it, I immediately wanted to greenlight another Indiana Jones movie or horror remake. In fact if I were a producer, I would start production on the next thing I read, even if its just an intra-office memo… which is exactly how Max Payne got made.

An excerpt after the jump.

Batman: So, you want to get a beer?
Superman: Maybe a soda or something.
Batman: Oh my God, what is it with you?

I thought I was reading dialogue from something on the Lifetime Movie Network. Did I mention those are the finals lines of the movie? Doesn’t that make the exchange even worse? Anyway, do youself a favor and read the whole thing so we can be sure nothing this bad is ever created again.
