How would you like the movie to end? Cliffhanger or not?

[블라스]

Ok, my first thread in the Superman boards.
I did a kinda thorough search and saw nothing like this, so I hope no one gets mad :o

Anyways, I'm much more of a Batman fan (Begins was just perfect for me) but the more I see the pictures, teaser trailer and behind the scenes stuff, the more I get excited about Superman Returns. I mean, Jesus, I even had a dream about watching the new trailer (then I met this hot Milf with her daughter, and well, you know... :o )

So anyways, I'm pretty much prepared to love SR, I'm sure Singer is going to do a hell of a job, but here's my question to you guys....

How would you like the movie to end?

I guess most of you saw the Batman Begins ending and the very nice hint at you know who, so I wonder if something like that would work for Superman Returns.

I was thinking something along the lines of Superman in space, checking out the earth, then noticing something, flying as fast as possible to Metropolis, then finding some kind of huge robot or something like that (don't judge me, I'm a big fan of the Fleischer cartoons :O, besides, a "generic" huge menace of sorts would work better than having an established enemy, at least in this case), and then ending the movie.
You know, it would show the kind of stuff that Superman would have to deal with now, since I'm pretty positive he won't really get a tough (strength wise) enemy in Superman Returns.

So what do you think?

[Cinemaman]

I think SR should have more "to be continued" end than just happy end.

And this end should be strong and serious. Superman will have some doubts about his way of living, it would be intersting storyline for Superman and his doubts about our world.

But his doubts will have consequences in sequel. It will be great to see him as just character with doubts, not Jessus, who didn't have any doubts about us.

Superman isn't new Jessus, he is another hero saving us every day.

But he should have doubts, it is normal for him.

I want it to end exactly the way the Reeves Movies did only with Routh in place. No other ending needed. Or they can do their own Space Scene Version but definitely end it the way they did with the Reeves Movies

[millennium movies]

Definately a BB style ending. Perhaps something like X1 scene with magneto and xavier in that plastic prison. Im shure that's more what Singer whould have up his sleeve.

I see it ending with Superman in space and thinking about our strange world and his doubts about us.

That would b eperfect end.

[Cinemaman]

Voted for Cliffhanger.

[SolidSnakeMGS]

I think it would be interesting if at the beginning of the movie, in a Metropolis that has since long forgotten Superman, you see a crime or someone in peril and they do not shout for Superman nor expect him.

At the end, however, you see Superman hovering high over Metropolis, his eyes closed, and he listens. We see in Metropolis, someone is in trouble. But they shout for Superman this time. He opens his eyes as he hears the distress call and zips towards down to save the person.

:up:

The only thing pointing toward a sequel that I'd want to see would be something like a reference to John Corbin or Milton Fine somewhere near the end of the film. I prefer the ending to be conclusive with Supes flying over the planet that he that he calls home.

I agree. :up:

[millennium movies]

Wasn't it stated sometime ago on this forum that the ending shot was the one from the teaser with him hovering over earth and listening then doing the sonic boom?

[Cinemaman]

I want Singer to develop SUperman as character, to make another line for him.

It would be great.

Jessus didn't have doubts, but SUperman will.

[SolidSnakeMGS]

It's speculation, but a pretty good one. It's kind of an update of the whole 'Superman patroling the skies high above us' Reeve style ending.

[TheFalcon]

I want Returns to have some sort of cliffhanger, preferably with hints of Brainiac, but it should conclude the main storylines (Luthor's plans, the kid, Lois and Superman getting back together).

I think it would be kinda cool to have Superman talk about there always being things that will threaten Earth and the humans and that he will be there to help and protect them in the future. Then we zoom out into space to an alien spacecraft with kryptonian symbols on it. The engines starts and the ship move towards Earth. We go inside and see some sort of big computer mainframe and then cut to the credits.

[Odin's Lapdog]

cliff hangar movies are pretty boring...

it's like handing in half an essay,

besides the sequels are never as good or warrant the said cliffhangar.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

After the ammount of waiting we have had for this movie..i don't think our fragile minds could handle three years of waiting to see what happens..

but sure why not.

:D

I was discussing this in another thread, I think this would be a terrific ending, showing he is watching over all of us.

It think just before that we should see some type of reference as Batman Begins and the Joker card gave us. This way Returns could be a stand alone movie or set up for a sequel, sooner or later.

The scene with Superman hovering above earth is taken heavily influenced by the Abrams Flyby script. There was a similar scene with Superman listening and hearing the cries for help.

[Showtime]

It's speculation, but a pretty good one. It's kind of an update of the whole 'Superman patroling the skies high above us' Reeve style ending.

Yes it is a great tribute to the endings of the Reeve movies.

[GreenKToo]

ya,I to want a cliffhanger ending.Supes solves first problem, and it ends with either Brainiac, or Doomsday, making an apperance,sitting up a sequel.

Oh man, that'd be really cool too :up:

Btw, who voted waffles? :confused:

[explode7]

No cliffhanger please. Because if they set it up with a villain and they decided not to use that villain in the sequel then it will look rediculous. Make it like spidey I say DAMMIT.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

no make it like superman..

Spider-man = overrated..although i did enjoy it.

[explode7]

Yeah spidey is overrated I agree with you on that but if they use the same formula as the spiderman movies they can stand a chance of making good BO numbers and thats exactly what WB wanted from day one $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

Explode i never thought i would ever say this to you..

You have a point.

:up:

[Superman4ever]

I'm sorta split between a 'cliffhanger,' al 'a Batman Begins and 'stand alone' like the Reeve movies.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

Personally i wan't it stand alone..and for it to finnish the way the Reeve movies did..

[explode7]

Whats with the Waffles option?

[Superman79]

Amen MJ...

Simple ending with a hint of what's to come...that should be the standard, kind of like a "next time on, The Adventures of Superman...tune in for the next episode" type stuff

All this stuff about doubts and fears...that judt doesn't seem Superman...yes he has doubts and such (For Tomorrow proved that), but when it comes down to it, he NEVER doubts that he's trying to do the right thing...no second guessing, just doing what's right and let the cards fall where they may (like he is/was through Infinate Crisis) :supes:

[Superman \S/]

I'd like the movie to end with a suprise indeed.

[Metropolis_Man]

I'd like to have some sort of set up for a possible sequel. I'd like the ending scene to be where he flies above the earth and listens in on everyone, and zooms back in.

[Superman79]

I'd like the movie to end with a suprise indeed.

Like Supes waking up realizing that he dreamed it all, he's still in 1978, the damn kid never existed, nobody messed with his costume, and that he's still Christopher Reeve?

:D ;)

[Metropolis_Man]

That would be a twist if there ever was one.

[Superman79]

That would be a twist if there ever was one.

Hey, remember it IS Bryan Singer...two words "Keyser Soze" ;)

[Metropolis_Man]

Yeah, Singer could have anything in store. But I'm now saddened, because I don't know the Keyser Soze joke. I still haven't seen The Usual Suspects :-/

[Superman \S/]

Damn. :eek: :eek:

LOL, what i had in mind was something with one of Supes villains.

[Metropolis_Man]

My personal preference is to see some sort of left over of Superman or Lex plotting another idea, BIZZARO!

No, BRAINIAC!

[Metropolis_Man]

No, BRAINIAC!

I could definately see them adding him, rumors are already going around about that. Someone mentioned that maybe Stanford builds Braniac for Luthor.

O yeah i saw that. So much could happen in SR that we wouldn't expect. In Singer we trust! I really hope we get a suprise.

[Metropolis_Man]

I'm sure we will. This movie has really been kept secretive more so than a lot of movies. I think we're in for some big shock or surprise, maybe even a few.

[Superman \S/]

I'm sure we will. This movie has really been kept secretive more so than a lot of movies. I think we're in for some big shock or surprise, maybe even a few.

Exactly, plus what got me thinkning was the amount of action SR will have. Not only with Supes stopping disasters, but maybe with more that we didn't even imagine. I can't wait.

[Metropolis_Man]

Exactly. I don't want to repost, but check out my post here at the very bottom. http://www.superherohype.com/forums/showthread.php?t=228074&page=8

Its part of an article from the new Sci Fi magazine.

[Agnarr]

Is the waffles option a reference to Invader Zim? That's the only thing I could think of ("Zim eats Waffles"). I'm split as to whether I want a cliffhanger or traditional ending. I assumed that the shot of Superman in the teaser was the new ending of Superman Returns. But I wouldn't be adverse to a cliffhanger . . . as long as it was good! Brainiac, anyone? :)

[Gamma Ray]

Like Batman Begins. It can stand alone, but it also leaves room for more stories.

[Mentok]

It wont be a cliffhanger, they will leave some things open or introduce a few things for the next film though.

[TheBat812]

like batman begins, because it should be able to stand alone, but also lead into a sequel, which is why i picked the answer "waffles".

[Mentok]

I picked 'Waffles' because I like them :(

[SolidSnakeMGS]

Haha, speaking of endings, I saw a movie today that had one of the absolute best endings of all time.

Too bad this post will end on a cliffhanger and I won't tell you what movie it is!:p

[Cinemaman]

There should be twist at the end of film.

[Junfan]

like batman begins, because it should be able to stand alone, but also lead into a sequel.

Agreed.

Leading in would be great, but no "cliffhanger" like Matrix reloaded.

Cliffhanger would probably be ruined by spoilers anyway.

[SuperDaniel]

I think this movie should leave an open ending for Lois/Superman relationship...

[Cinemaman]

I think this movie should leave an open ending for Lois/Superman relationship...

Also, I will agree with you.

[Junfan]

Is that in case bosworth sucks? ;)

[Lobo]

end with superman eating waffles :mad: :up:

seriously tho i'd prefer a cliffhanger ending

[GreenKToo]

lol.just think,if it has a cliffhanger,we'll have something to argue over for the next 2 or 3 years.

[Strange]

I want a stand alone movie with just a hint of a possible future villian but not a complete cliffhanger. Kinda like Batman Begins.

[afan]

Well............
Whatever the Superman / Lois / Richard White relationship is, that triangle is nicely resolved, Superman has saved the day again and Lois tells Superman that she understands why he had to leave Earth, and that indeed the world needs a hero. This closing dialogue takes place on the roof of the Daily Planet. After several minutes of Lois / Superman
signature clever repartee, perhaps with Lois including quotes from Clark Kent, (ala the apartment scene from STM ) Superman says goodnight; floats up off the roof and into the air above the Metropolis streets where the populace looks up and smiles as Superman soars above them. He angles up gaining speed, passing a plane in which the pilot and passengers wave to him as he passes, he travels through clouds illuminated by a striking sunset until he enters the upper reaches of the atmosphere on the very edge of space where of course he levels off and delivers the Man of Steel's trademark smile to an applauding (hopefully) audience.
