Like in Batman Forever when Bruce Wayne casually mentions Metropolis in passing. It went nowhere of course (you knew Superman would never pop up or anything), but I remember the audience reacted to it pretty strongly regardless, gasps and whatnot. Gee, an actual reference to something!

There was a documentary a few years ago about the Superman movie they were going to do with Nicolas Cage and I remember one of the things Kevin Smith was saying he had in his script was that Batman would show up at Superman's funeral or something to that effect. If that movie had ever seen the light of day we could have had our first cinematic superhero team up, and of course all of the other wacky shit the producer apparently wanted.

Heh, I'm kind of the reverse. The prequels struck me so wrong for a long time and the new movies won me back. Having said that there are still elements from the prequels that I'll defend.
