Marvels Civil war was Lead by Captain America and Ironman. The leader of the Pro Registration side and the anti registration? Batman would probably be the leader of Anti but your thoughts?
Civil War is based off of TDKReturns, except Marvel believes in Captain America more than DC believes in Superman. It's Superman vs. Batman and Batman is in the right(Cap). But it should be Diana vs. Batman.
Wonder Woman has no SID, Wonder Woman is from a monarchy so she doesn't take kindly to dissention and would actively demand people listen to her and Wonder Woman usually works with goberment when chilling with Steve Trevor. I say Superman plays the role of Spider-Man.
Batman is the least trusting member of the JL though, when is he going to rouge. It's always Diana and Clark.
I think Batman and Superman would both be anti registration, and oppose other heroes like Captain Atom who would. I wouldn't want DC to do it exactly the same as Marvel, I would rather see the heroes that work with the government, oppose heroes like the Justice League who don't believe in that.
But if it was Batman and Superman, I could see Bruce as pro registration, and Clark as anti.
Main universe Superman would not be pro registration and neither would Batman. Both realize the problems with the gov. and the need to be outside of it. Superman has had many problems with the gov. nor does he believe he he's beholden to just one country. He believes he's a world hero. Also no way he's giving up his secret identity. Not even getting into how absolutely OOC it was for Spider-Man to do so.
Un like what most people are saying I doubt Superman would Pro registration unless he was being wrote by Frank Miller. If Anything he'd stay neutral or try. So how about you answer the question and say what you think?
People saying Superman for Pro probably don't know the character so well...
Superman will probably be neutral, Batman would certaintly be anti and the "leader" of the pro faction would be someone like Captain Atom or Steve Trevor, or even New 52 Martian Manhunter.

This!! I think that at first Superman would be neutral but If some hero dies during a fight, he is going to chose a side to try to end the war (most possible the anti side).
A lot of the story would depend on what the inciting incident was (i.e.: Stamford explosion), however as a general rule, I'd say Batman leads the Anti-registration faction and Wonder Woman leads the Pro-registration faction. Supes hides in his Fortress of Solitude for the majority of the event, before appearing in the finale to try and stop everyone from fighting each other, before being assassinated by and unknown assailant. He dies, and a wedge is driven between Bats and WW until a later invasion by White Martians (prefaced by Martian Manhunter re-appearing) wherein Supes is resurrected and everything becomes marginally less grim (until the next event of course).

Nobody, this type of thing can't happen in DC. Batman would always be anti-registration and Superman would never fight a Civil War. There is no one else who could actually lead an equal number of heroes as Batman can. Wonder Woman could be written that way I suppose, since her character has always been inconsistent, but in truth none of the good versions of the character would do this.
@ultrastarkiller: that would be so cool if this were pre 52. Clark could try to confront wally to try to convince him to be pro - registration and get an IMP to the face!

None of the Justice League would be pro and something like civil war would never happen in the Core universe.
@stormshadow_x I actually think Superman/Batman "Public Enemies" is the closest thing to DC "Civil War" we've seen.
You have an egotistical billionaire, who is effectively made the most powerful man in the country (Lex Luthor) gathering Superheroes on his side, and waging a war against the heroes who oppose him, i.e, Superman, Batman and their friends. Heroes fight Heroes, lines are crossed, friendships are put to the test, etc.
Not really. Excluding having heroes fighting each other, there isn't really many parallels to the stories. KC explores Old vs. Young and why heroes should stick to morals. CW explores should government intervention play a part in heroics.
To the people who are saying that Superman would be pro,they have no idea what they are talking about and most definitely don't even know the character.
