The Batman Superman Movie is an animated but very good rewrite of the first meeting between Superman and Batman. It compares their methods and rationales, their separate personalities and even the type of adversary that they encounter.
As the story evolves, we find that their only connection is Lois Lane, who falls for Bruce (much to the disgust of Clark), in the end, while we don't find them to be the best of friends, the two heroes come to an understanding and admiration of each other, in spite of their different methods.
This movie is a great example of how far comics have come as storytelling - allowing the heroes to show anger, mistrust and jealousy toward one another but also coming to compromises with each other - not friends (at this point), but certainly earning each others trust and respect. Good storytelling, and a great movie, even it it was only 59 minutes long!
Here is the trailer...
