Yep, those guys don't really fit into Venom's character but Bale surely would fit in the movie as Cletus Kassady, reminds of his fabulous character on American Psycho.

But no worries, the cast for Spiderman 3 isn't final yet, just rumoured. Except for Tobey and Kirsten..

Sam Raimi: Spiderman 3 (2006) - The main villains in this one are rumoured to be Eddie Brock/Venom & Cletus Kassady/Carnage. - Mark "Vin Diesel" Vincent & The Rock are early options for Eddie Brock, Sam Rockwell & Christian Bale for Cletus Kassady.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been waiting soooooo long for this!
To see Carnage n Venom in this same movie is going to rock!!!
Dunno about Mark Vincent and the Rock tho. ;/

Originally posted by Vanilla Batman vs Superman was scrapped a long time ago.

I know it was but they have dug it up again. Plans to make it real are confirmed only the date is open yet..

Here's what the President and Chief Operating Officer Alan Horn at Warner Bros. has recently said about it:

"We will do it." He says it's "dark and mean-spirited" but really, really good. The plan is to have Superman and Batman origin stories released within the same year (starting in 2005). Each movie will deal with the Superheroes' origins and begin to establish their relationship to each other which will set up "Superman vs. Batman" to follow the backstories. Superman and Batman find themselves at odds in "Superman v. Batman" when Bruce goes out seeking bloody vengeance on the murderer of his new bride, Jennifer. Superman opposes him, fights him to the near death - then it's discovered that the guy behind Jennifer's murder is also this big baddie in Superman's circle and they unite to fight or something sweet like that...

I've been waiting for that to happen as well! And i agree on Vin or Rock about not being that good as Venom.. but as i have said in my previous post, they haven't been confirmed yet. So changes SHOULD come, hopefully.
