Who likes the Superkid?

[The Kid]

We don't know if he's absolutely his superkid yet of course, but nevertheless, who likes the idea?

I do.

Now superman has a super family with Lois!

I think

1. It was bound to happen eventually.
2. The kid is a cool kid.
3. Superman can have a little super-sidekick now.
4. The kid will be superboy! And that's like the comics isn't it?
5. He throws pianos. How cool is that? come on:supes:

:confused: woo hoo. Superkid!

[Yellow Cyclone]

he's jake lloyd 2.0 waiting to happen.....all he needs to say is "lets try heat vision, that's a good trick!" then i will cry

[Showtime]

Do we even need a poll, I am sure I can speak for everyone, when I say #$#@%@#$%!#$

[Naite22]

If the kid is indeed superman's and the kid ends up dying saving supes ass, than I think it'll work... It all depends on how they play it all out.

[Nivek]

superman aint dat baby's Daddy!

Maury? Where are you when we need you!?! Paternity test!!!

[Eros]

he looks nothing like superman,and does the kid even have powers?

[Showtime]

The kid has powers of the keyboard and his weakness is allergens.

[millennium movies]

That's a cute kid. Can't believe these fanboys... wanting a deathwish on the kid...

chill the hell out!

[Showtime]

Not the actor, I'll babysit the damn kid and play PS2 with him, they want Jason Kent destroyed in the movie.

The kid is clark's kid, he even look's like Clark when he was little. He's even wearing a fannel plaid shirt .

[Kurosawa]

Who knows if the kid is even his?

And if he is, then there's nothing wrong with that in principle-it's how it's handled.

[Zor-El]

i'm reserving judgement on the kid...

I dont like the idea of him being lois', but i can live with it.
i'm not too sure about the kid being superman's though. it could work as a plot device, but its....i dunno....kinda wrong. I mean there's something to be said about character progression, but I feel like there are some things that shouldnt be done.

all that said, i'd like to repeat that i am ambivalent about the kid. :p

[The Caped Knight]

The spoilers says The kids Blood saves SUPERMAN .

[Nivek]

Well, the cool guys hate the kid, and I think I just heard Michael Jackson peeking intrest.

[patrickbateman]

whos know someday

i would love to see that breakfast scene in a superman movie

[patrickbateman]

i think that's where singer's heading

[Weadazoid]

the kid looks like a Culkin to me

and that aint good


LOL

[Hunter Rider]

The kid is a bad idea in general but it all depends on whether Mori is right or not just how bad an idea It is

[Immortalfire]

I hate the kid. In fact, I hate most movie kids. He's a useless addition to the films.

[Wams]

We are going to owe Enigma2k an apology.

:spidey:
:supes:

[smsvmos]

I can see Scary Movie 5 now. Superkid shows up and Jackson shows up to grab him and BAM Superman kills Jackson

[batman44]

I don't like it, nuff said.

[Naite22]

The only thing I would've NOT put in the trailer is where the kid says "you're bald".. It takes away the epic seriousness of the trailer... it's not that bad, but I would've left it out... but this trailer is so bad-ass!

[Masut]

I usually hate kids in films, mainly because they are so lame. If the kid isn't lame and useless to the film then I can live with it.

[Tzigone]

If well-executed, I'll probably be okay with it.

[Tony Stark]

I don't have a problem with the kid. I do have a problem with this movie being connected to the Donner films. Part of it may be nostalgia, because I was 7 or 8 when the first film came out. I just don't see how these films can live up to that reputation.

To me it's unfair for the Actors as well. It's just going to draw more comparisons to Reeve's and company.

Now I know Keaton didn't embody the roll of Batman, the way Reeves did Superman, but the way Batman Begins was done, both Christian Bale and Keaton are accepted in the roll.

I never could except Kilmer or Clooney as the Dark Knight. They just paled in comparison to Keaton's Batman. With Bale, it would never occur to me to compare the two, because the movies are so different.

[superpal2]

whoever like the superkid idea are mentally disorder to me.

[skruloos]

I have no feelings towards the kid. Although I am apprehensive about the idea, I am also intrigued by it. I'd like to see how it is handled in the film before I say anything either way.

[skruloos]

whoever like the superkid idea are mentally disorder to me.
Ah. But which mental disorder would they be? THAT is the question!

[explode7]

I think the kid is just there to appeal to the 12 and under demographic and the romance thing is to appeal to the teenage and older demographic.

[Darren Daring]

I think the kid is just there to appeal to the 12 and under demographic and the romance thing is to appeal to the teenage and older demographic.

Because kids like to watch kids?

Also, what's this piano talk?

[explode7]

No because kids like to watch other kids in action or in this case pissing off the bad guy with their wise ass words. Just look at Spy KIDS and those hundreds of other films and tell me how well that did. Pretty darn good to me.

[\S/JcDc\S/]

If there is a point to it I won't mind.

[explode7]

Yes thats the reason thre're probably using the kid to appeal to that audience.

[Darren Daring]

No because kids like to watch other kids in action or in this case pissing off the bad guy with their wise ass words. Just look at Spy KIDS and those hundreds of other films and tell me how well that did. Pretty darn good to me.

Those were succesful with kids because they're child-oriented, not because they have kids in large roles.

[explode7]

Well I think thats why they were successful because they had children in large roles.

[Darren Daring]

Well I think thats why they were successful because they had children in large roles.

But they were made for children. Returns may be family friendly, but it's not a movie designed to appeal to 8 year olds.

[explode7]

Dude SR is made for everyone including children.

[Darren Daring]

Not exclusively for children, which is the category msot of the films you referenced before will probably fall under.

[explode7]

Well maybe not exclusively for children but certain aspects of it like the kid can fall under that category.

[Agnarr]

If he dies, I'll be okay with it.

[explode7]

He has to die because if there're planning sequels then the kid would be pointless unless you see supes flying the kid to school as mini challenges to supes in the sequel.

[Masut]

What's this crap about a piano?

[Agentdemon]

What's this crap about a piano?

Apparently, according to Moriarty at AICN, the kid picks up a piano and whacks one of Luthor's henchmen. Confirming he is superman's son.

[explode7]

WHAT???!?!?!?! I never heard that before. OMG:eek:

[Masut]

Apparently, according to Moriarty at AICN, the kid picks up a piano and whacks one of Luthor's henchmen. Confirming he is superman's son.

...

Well that's going to make things interesting then. I don't see how any sequels are going to work with Supes having a kid. The stories would just follow his struggle to become a 'Daddy'.

[The Kid]

No because kids like to watch other kids in action or in this case pissing off the bad guy with their wise ass words. Just look at Spy KIDS and those hundreds of other films and tell me how well that did. Pretty darn good to me.

I disagree. The only things kids want is to finally grow up and have more freedom etc. They won't learn how to do that from other kids. As a kid, I hated watching other kids in movies, but loved grown up heros because they were what I wanted to be when I grew up, well in a fantasy sense. :up:

I never understood the whole "they stick kids in movies because kids like it." thing. Most kids in movies act more adult than the grownups to me anyway.The spy kids were given such power and responsibility they can hardly be called normal joe average kids.

[블라스]

Well, I only saw him like 3 seconds in the trailer.
Not enough to know if I like him or not in the actual context of the movie.
Jesus :rolleyes:

[Mentok]

Im not that happy about the kid. I am waiting to see how they play it out before deciding on it though.

[ReporterKent]

I hope he chokes on something...seriously.

[sf2]

If there is a point to it I won't mind.
singer tired of supervillian and wanna create a situation superman never handle before. is there enough point?
too bad the kid has grown up and superman didn't need to change the diaper. that isn't fair!

[BareKnucklez]

The only thing I would've NOT put in the trailer is where the kid says "you're bald".. It takes away the epic seriousness of the trailer... it's not that bad, but I would've left it out... but this trailer is so bad-ass!

dude I thought the whole trailer sucked!
And why dont they show Brandon as clark talking more or as Superman?
Why is it so bad that they are afraid we wont like it or something?

[skruloos]

dude I thought the whole trailer sucked!
And why dont they show Brandon as clark talking more or as Superman?
Why is it so bad that they are afraid we wont like it or something?
Or maybe they want to save stuff for the movie?

[jusblaze21]

The kid does'nt bother me because I have'nt seen enough of him to say. He could bring a lot to the story, Who knows? I do get the feeling that he might die, but that could serve as an emotional and powerful scene in the movie.

[Spider-jedi]

the xmen trailers and tv spot always get me hyped but this trailer did nothing for me and as for the kid i think hes jst there for superman to save at one point in the movie

[Poetic Chaos]

I hope it's not his son. That's a pretty cheap way to have them easily be together. If she loves Superman enough to leave her family, fine. But don't make it so convenient by having her son be his and (mostly likely) problems with the current guy.

[IKnowSomeJudo]

The super kid thingy has been hinted at in comics many times. I think it's a pretty bold idea and I applaud Singer for taking a crack at it. It's a concept that had to be dealth with in the Superman mythos sooner or later, and I personally find it great that we get see how it all plays out in a major motion picture, instead of just couple of Elseworlds comics since DC is too chicken**** to run with the idea...but alas, so are most of "fans" it seems.

[Junfan]

As long as the story doesn't revolve around the kid too much, I could care less.

[The Kid]

I always thought if superman ever had a child it would be with Wonder Woman. At least she could probably handle it.

The only thing I don't like is how this might be explained as the result of their sex in superman2. Maybe singer will make a special edition edits of stm so they work perfectly with his movie, but right now it's too strange to think that lois got impregnated in sm2. Wasn't he human then, why's he giving her super sperm if he's just normal? And the guy says he'll never leave but does in returns so it just can't work together using that old storyline to me.

For this to work, they'll have to use a flashback of superman or clark doing lois. That's the only way I think they can make it clear that lois was given superman's super-seed.

Uhh, I'll think they'll get it if and when the little kid has duper powers.

[TheBat812]

I still don't feel that he's Superman's kid. After reading just how the Reeve movies are being referenced (more of like a bond type thing, where they're all part of one long story, but never directly related), I just don't see this happening.

[The Kid]

Uhh, I'll think they'll get it if and when the little kid has duper powers.

they'll know enough that the kid is his but not how he came to be in the first place. that's what I was saying. Mo, you reading this? Does the script say when superman and lois did some 0g love-making?

[Cinemaman]

The kid isnt so bad. But it would be good to see him dying for saving Superman in film.

Then Superman will become angry!

[Bad Superman]

We don't know if he's absolutely his superkid yet of course, but nevertheless, who likes the idea?

I do.

Now superman has a super family with Lois!

I think

1. It was bound to happen eventually.
2. The kid is a cool kid.
3. Superman can have a little super-sidekick now.
4. The kid will be superboy! And that's like the comics isn't it?
5. He throws pianos. How cool is that? come on:supes:

:confused: woo hoo. Superkid!


You're kidding, right?:o

[The Kid]

Nope. Throwing pianos is awesome. they make alot of noise.

[GothicPowerMix1]

The kid isnt so bad. But it would be good to see him dying for saving Superman in film.

Then Superman will become angry!

A) IF the kid is REALLY Supermans then yes him dying will definitely be good Character Development for most of the "Good" Main Characters

B) However if the Kid is not Supermans I see Richard dying & the kid living & that way Lois will blame Superman for Richards Death because he did not save him due to jealousy or something & Superman will have to deal with that until Lois realizes the truth

Kinda like in Spider-Man 2 Harry sees him with his Dead Dad Lois can see Superman carrying a Dead Richard

[The Kid]

You are some sick bastards wanting this cute kid to die like that. Damn that's sick. I'm ashamed I belong to this place now.

singer doesn't kill kids. Especially in a superman movie. Stop dreaming about it.

[musclesforsupes]

He needs to die.

[GothicPowerMix1]

You are some sick bastards wanting this cute kid to die like that. Damn that's sick. I'm ashamed I belong to this place now.

Id feel bad for the kid. He has some ****ed up parents. Although to be fair you cant really blame Lois for anything. Supes erased her memory :o

[Asgard]

Superman shouldve been responsible enough to use the pull out method...

Oh and Im not a fan of the Superkid.

[Flame on!]

He's got movie kid hair. Which pisses me off by default.

[Nautica7mk]

I'm open to the idea. Superman's never really had to deal with a child before (Superman III doesn't count), and it kind of feels good to know that he can be a father. And like what others have said, so long as the child doesn't overshadow the father, I think the kid's introduction isn't necessarily a bad thing.

[nightwing06]

Isnt the kid Mardsen's in the movie and Lois is his stepmother?

[Lightning Strykez!]

To be honest, I don't think inserting the kid is a good idea. But I'll reserve final judgement because I want to see how it plays out onscreen.

But can someone please comb his hair? I don't care for the windblown look; I would expect the Man Of Steel's progeny to be better groomed than that. :(

Also, what's up with all the death wishes for this child? :down

[Katsuro]

Isnt the kid Mardsen's in the movie and Lois is his stepmother?

I hope so, to be honest. I mean, i'm open to the idea of Superman having a Superkid, but... it'll make sequels tough. I'd just rather it be Lois's stepson or something, that way they can be written out in future sequels easily.

[Super78]

The Kid has got to go!

Lex better bribe him with some Kryptonite like its candy.

"Come on kid, try it, it's great.....yesssss...."

[Masut]

Ok, what's the rating for this film? PG? Even at a 15+ rating, I don't think Warner Bros. have the guts to kill a child on screen.
I don't see it happening. Unless it's all sugar-coated for example: the kid sacrifices himself by exploding into a bright white light etc etc kind of BS.

[Evelisse]

I tell you I still find it really weird, that the kid being Supermans' wouldnt there be alot more buzz about him the kid actor, if he's meant to stick around for any sequels, I'd think being son of Superman would gather him much attention from the Media, all wanting to know about this kid and how he feels about the project, I mean his casting would have to be as important as Supermans, quite a load to bear for the kid, unless Singer has this kid in hiding somewhere so as to not spill the beans about him to the general non-internet movie going audience.

[The Kid]

Well the media probably doesn't know outside what mo said and they can't use that as if it's what will happen in the film since it's only the script that one person claims to have.

I'm eager to see superman give his boy flying lessons.

[Cinemaman]

It is PG-13. And in Harry Potter 4 there was death, so I dont think it is impossible that the kid will not die.

He can die saving Superman from some blast or something else.

[Cinemaman]

I'm eager to see superman give his boy flying lessons.

Oh No!!!!! Not this!!!!!

[Kane]

Superman DOES get mortally wounded in the movie...stabbed in the chest. On his deathbed...


Obviously Superman wont die...... but I have a STRONG feeling the kid will be linked to his recovery...

And the kid will be sacrificed somehow.


By the end of the film, everything will go back to normal..


Superman will have to stay on Earth, to be there for Lois too...

[The Kid]

check out the first page. I did something.

And the kid won't die. He's part of the myth now and we'll just have to get used to it. I don't see what's so terrible about superman being a daddy like peterpan. it's like hook. And i like hook.

[Masut]

We don't know if he's absolutely his superkid yet of course, but nevertheless, who likes the idea?

Why does so many people hate kids in movies, they were all kids once, back when it was all fun and games, before all the whining and complaining about everything!!!

[Flame on!]

But can someone please comb his hair? I don't care for the windblown look; I would expect the Man Of Steel's progeny to be better groomed than that. :(
I'm telling you, movie kid hair. Ruins any movie.

[Masut]

Because most kids make movies lame and can't act. I have no probs with good child actors who's characters are directly relevant to the story. I'm sure there's a good story behind this kid.

If not then I hope he sacrifices himself by morphing into a piano and flying into the Sun.

None of you know if the kid sucks, but you're all still complaining about what ifs, what a waste of energy!

:D thnx.

[Masut]

None of you know if the kid sucks, but you're all still complaining about what ifs, what a waste of energy!

I just don't wanna see another Ricky from Smallville like Superman III had. I tells ya, kids lame up good movies.

[Knightsaber Priss]

The kid is clark's kid, he even look's like Clark when he was little. He's even wearing a fannel plaid shirt .

I honestly think the kid looks more like Chucky from the Child's Play movies in that picture.

[Kane]

Hey I had no problem with the kid who played young Bruce in Batman Begins....he served his purpose and conveyed alot of believeable emotion on his face...


Of course, you wouldnt know that based on the trailer alone..

[Masut]

Hey I agree. That kid did a good job.

[Super78]

I'm hoping Lex and his cronies kick the crap out of this kid.

Yeah!:mad:

[ervann]

How much would you be willing to bet on the kid being Supe's, and how much on the opposite?

No one knows 100% for sure now, period. But just to make things interesting...

[Evelisse]

If kid looses all/any powers saving Superman, and is resorted to a normal human kid, would it help any?

[The Kid]

I bet five bucks monopoly money with Venom and he says he'll wait to pay me until he's seen it in the movie. I said ok but Mo confirmed it in the script and I think that's solid enough proof. Why write all those words about jason being supe's kid and never use them? if there was ever a doubt that jason wasn't supe's thn they wouldn't have bothered putting him in the middle of all the chaos like this. Imagin how superman would feel if Lex luthor hurt his son.

[Super78]

If kid looses all/any powers saving Superman, and is resorted to a normal human kid, would it help any?

Probably.

But the kid wouldn't serve any purpose for further adventures/sequels.

[musclesforsupes]

He has allergies which is due to the meteor rocks :(

[Immortalfire]

The kid dies a firey explosive death right in front of Lois' eyes.

[Lightning54SC]

im willing to bet its hers and the white's kid.... if im wrong PROVE TO ME OTHERWISE

[LivingInClip]

The kid won't die - when is the last time a mainstream film killed a kid? It just doesn't happen.

its not that kids in movie are bad, its that hollywood always sugar-coats it...hell even the kid in BB felt forced



dakota fanning in WotW = good
haley joel osmond in 6th Sense = good
that kid in the Ring = good


jake lloyd in Ep I = ugh
those 2 kids on the train in Spidey 2 = cheese
this kid in SR = we'll see, but all signs point to no

The kids on the train in Spidey 2 is not a fair comparison. That was a cameo appearance by Tobey Maguire's brothers.

I agree with you 100% on Jake Lloyd....yipee!!!!

[musclesforsupes]

No luthor might do something to the kid or say something, next thing you seem him face down in new krypton dead or something like that.

[Darren Daring]

they'll know enough that the kid is his but not how he came to be in the first place. that's what I was saying. Mo, you reading this? Does the script say when superman and lois did some 0g love-making?

I think people understand that kids are a result of sex:confused:

[The Kid]

ya but when, how, and where did they do the sex?

[Flame on!]

****ing kid...

[The Kid]

Think like me and you'll feel better bout this munchkin.

[Flame on!]

I want to rip his movie head off.

[Strange]

Maybe in the sequels Clark and Lois can have a whole litter of Superkids and start their own Justice League. :up:

[Cinemaman]

If the kid is Superboy, I will hate Singer. I don't like the idea with Superman son.

[Super78]

Yes.

The Kid must go.

[Tzigone]

If I hear the kid dies, I probably won't see the movie in the theater.
