Re: MMS200 - Man of Steel: Superman Collectible Figure
Batman was being his usual jerk self that was so common of his portrayal before the New 52.
Remember that he betrayed the League in "Tower of Babel", denied Blue Beetle his help in infiltrating the Checkmate HQ (thus being partially responsible for Blue Beetle's death), he designed the OMACs, and betrayed his own principles when he fired a bullet at Darkseid in "Final Crisis".
Batman was ruined a character and was no longer heroic. Batman, more than any other character, needed a serious reboot.
When Superman died, he inspired John Henry Irons to become Steel, but after that, he inspired the Supermen of America, he inspired the Legion of Superheroes, and not only that... weird as it sounds, he also inspired the Crimson Avenger, a hero that in the prior continuity was supposed to have been the first costumed hero who was a member of the original Seven Soldiers of Victory.
How did Superman inspire a guy from the past into becoming a hero? Well, this guy went to see a clairvoyant to know about his destiny, and she told him the story of a noble hero who'd die fighting against a huge monster (showing pics of Superman fighting against Doomsday) many years from then, so he vowed to do everything in his power to ensure that said hero never had to die. That story was published in the "The Golden Age Secret Files and Origins" from 1.999, before the launch of "JSA".
So, Superman was inspiring other heroes, more than 50 years before his own birth! Sounds extremely crazy, but that was canon.
And in "DC One Million", we see that Superman's legacy is destined to endure till the 853rd Century and beyond! There's the One Million Superman, and Prime Superman.
In conclusion: Batman knows NOTHING!
Batman did tell Superman that the last time he inspired anyone was when he died, so there is that.
