Batman is the western Doraemon.
As in, "my belt has everything in it, for practically every possible purpose, regardless of the fact the content would be far more mass than available in these pouches" If his belt had a name, it'd be called D.E.M

That also depends on the writer. Usually he only has what he needs on that belt with maybe one or two specialty items for whatever case he is on. (bateranges (multiple, but I think it is usually six), cables (usually two), smoke bombs (three sets I think), detective kit (listening devices, finger print kit, those sorts of things), mini gas mask, and after encountering Superman, a tiny piece of kryptonite.)
However he has everything else he might need in the batcave (or in some versions, mini-Batstashes all over Gotham and some other cities he might frequent or have Wayne Enterprises established already. Those tend to be of the campy variant).

All of these characters and more have had interesting and compelling stories, but the likelihood of a large audience being interested in their stories is very small. Frankly, this is also a problem for DC in general. There are some great characters in their pantheon, whether Justice League or other, but none of them have the star power that Superman or Batman (or Wonder Woman, Supergirl and a few others) do. While Marvel has been bending over backwards to expand their entire continuum into new mediums (really pushing certain characters into the spotlight in new and unique ways), DC has been sticking with tried and true characters and has seldom gone out of their way to uplift older characters into bigger roles than they are used to. |

Most people only know the superfriends Aquaman which was an absolute joke that has given the character a bad name. However, his reputation has improved over recent years, and fans of the comics know he's a badass with a rich history. Has anyone here seen the Justice League/Unlimited series? Now that is an awesome Aquaman.

The "Justice League" and "Brave and the Bold" Aquamans were pretty good. In different ways. JL and JLU version was a badass who tended towards grimdark territory. He was always super serious. He wasn't in a lot of episodes since he's pretty much only in the episodes to save his family or Atlantis. Or paying honor debts.
The "Batman: Brave and the Bold" Aquaman on the other hand was a Giant Ham Badass. He was so over the top he became awesome. If you needed brawn, and Superman wasn't around, grab Aquaman. But be prepared for over the top monologuing and meaningless heroic speeches....while punching people. His speech pattern is very 1960s superhero ("good work chum")

At the very least, I want them to try a Wonderwoman. If only because she is both famous AND the hardest to adapt to the film. Even in the comics, DC has trouble keeping her origin story straight. A well done WW movie would deserve praise from the difficulty alone.

Guys, I think some of the most recent comments here should be moved to the already-existing JLA movie thread.
Shouldn't we get back to the main topic (Superman/Man of Steel)?
