The Official Metallo Thread

[Hunter Rider]

This guy could well be perfect,he recently had a part on CSI and got decent reviews and his hateability is beyond that any actor could bring to the role
I'm not saying he's the only choice i'm just throwing his name out there:yay:

I wished you had used a different smilie so I knew you were kidding.:csad:

[Super-Bats]

only so that I can see Supes go apesh** on his a** and rip out his Kryptonite Heart at super speed ( as in the game ).

seriously......I really can't stand this guy. I can't stand Britney either, and I don't normally sanction divorces, but I'm glad she divorced his a**.

[Showtime]

Am I dreaming?

[Crooklyn]

hmmm....why is that when I think of Metallo....I think of Kevin Bacon?????

See that's the kind of emotion Kfizzle can bring to the sequel,the audience will be standing in the isles cheering for Supes:up:

Am I dreaming?

I'm not sure,what did you think you saw ?

[Showtime]

I like John Corbett for Metallo.

I thought I saw you put up Kevin Federline for Metallo but that can't be. :wow:

[Hunter Rider]

I thought I saw you put up Kevin Federline for Metallo but that can't be. :wow:

Oh it is true,imagine the blinged out suit he could have and he could have a metal capp tilted to the side and do the soundtrack,this could be multimedia baby!!:hyper:

[Showtime]

I feel sick now.

[Dope Nose]

maybe they can make it a Batman/Superman film and cast Britney Spears as the Joker.

It wasn't meant to be cool it was meant to be a fun discussion,it beats all the endless moaning threads going on right now IMO:csad:

[Super Kal]

lmfao, smurfing hell no...

but someone should do a manip anyways...

[I Am The Knight]

HAHA! This reminds me of the Dent casting madness over at the DK board. LOL.....Yeah, that's right.....Or something like that....

[Motown Marvel]

i know he'd probably be too old for the role now...but i always picture jeremy irons as metallo.

[Kabuki_Jo]

Hahahaha. cast Spears as Lois Lane now.

[NewYorkSpider]

That is a ridiculous idea. Come on hunter rider you know better than that.

[The Joker]

I only want him as Metallo if they work him rapping into the script...you know, have him do a remix of his hit single/title track off his new disc named "Playin With Kryptonite" :o ;)

[Scottish Flash]

he should only be metallo if they are allowed to beat the hell out of him for real

[Super-Bats]

amen....

[igotatromboner]

Um yah, every opinion you post after this will be taken with grain of salt because that is something only John Peters would agree to. I also think I hate you now.

[GreenKToo]

Kiefer Sutherland.....

EDIT:..as Metallo ,or Brainiac

[Darth Nata]

Timothy Olyphant for Metallo...

[P.B.&Chocolate]

Thanks for the laugh hunter .

[FanboyX_Returns]

Well K-Fed wouldn't be the badly cast actor in a Singerman movie.
But I doubt that any movie with him in it would pack the theaters... Might actually keep people away.

Remember he is America's Most Hated! :woot:

[The_Raven]

If that idiot ends up anywhere near a superhero franchise I swear to God I will stuff my head into the gears of a ferris wheel.

[ultimatefan]

Well, that I remember we haven´t even heard any indication of Metallo being the villain, so I won´t speculate on that for now.

[Penguin]

I'd say Kevin Bacon.

[mjbull23]

There should never ever be an indirect correlation between any Superman Movie and Britney Spears. That is just wrong. :whatever:

[KaptainKrypton]

I'd say Kevin Bacon.
Co-sign on this. I think he'd be an excellent choice as he's the right type physically and he can act with the best of 'em. On another note, I can't believe hunter could actually be serious. It's like I'm in Bizarro World.:hyper:

I second this, and not just because your name is in red.

I saw him on csi as well and I was impressed with his screen pressence, certainly not oscar worthy, but definately professionally competent. For some reason I want K-Fed to succeed in life while Britney slides into trailer trash obscurity.

Not sure why. :cwink:

but Hank Henshaw? Nah...I could see him as that guy who splits into clones of himself whatever his name is...tip of my tongue...he was featured in the video game...

Multiplex...?
Plex...?
Multi...?
...

I dunno, but you know who I mean. K-Fed can't sell a punch on screen so he'd have to be a gangly fighter or a blaster.

Replicant...?
Replicor...?
Schizm...?
...damn it.

[Papa Burgundy]

:dry:

exactly.

[Sun_Down]

When I see Kevin Federline's face, I always wish that we were technologically advanced enough to resurrect the dead. That way I could kill him every day for the rest of my life.

[That-Guy]

I think Federline should only get cast as Metallo if we get to see Superman kill him on film. No, I don't just mean in the movie. I mean LITERALLY kill him. I'd love to see Superman go all MK1 Kano on this SOB and rip his still beating heart right out of his chest. I don't think it counts as a snuff film if no one cares that you were alive to begin with.

[Lobo]

So if Metallo does make it into the sequel, which origin would you prefer? The Silver Age, John Byrne Version, TAS, an original version?

here's his wiki in case you're not familiar with all his origins http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallo

http://captain.custard.org/league/graphics/characters/metallo.jpg

[Spike_x1]

John Byrne's and the Silver Age origin are almost exactly the same; small-time crook, car accident, Dr. Vale snatches him up and then puts his brain in the robot body. The only real difference is Vale's motivation.

Unless, of course, you wanna get into Roger Corben, who, contrary to popular belief, was by far the dominant character to use the name "Metallo" in the Silver Age (John only had 1 appearance, as far as I know), but that's a whole different can of worms.

I think that STAS improved on the origin quite a bit, and is probably the direction I'd like to see Metallo go if he makes it to the big screen. Make him someone that Superman knows beforehand, giving them a history and possibly an actual motivation to kill Superman, rather than just the old "I wanna be king of the mountain" motif that the majority of Superman's villains have.

At this point, I think that Richard would be a prime candidate to become Metallo.

[Lobo]

I'd be upset if Richard became Metallo. I think him becoming evil would be an easy way out of resolving that love triangle situation, I'd rather see Richard die at the hands of Corben maybe protecting Jason. I dont want Superman and Lois together, until the end of third film

[Spike_x1]

Personally, I could not care less about the love triangle, nor do I care one bit if it's taking the easy way out (if I wanted to see a tragic romance movie, I'd watch Titanic or something), so this would just be my way of doing something worth a damn with Richard's character.

But that was just one option for Metallo's alter ego. Hell, he could end up being the rooftop gattling-gun guy and it would fit my criteria mentioned before, and I'd be satisfied as far as Metallo goes.

[Justice Bringer]

It will be Brainiac and Lex in the sequel

[Excel]

What is up with killing Richard? Hes a likeable character. Let him live. Not everybody has to either die or go bad.What is this, the spiderman franchise?

I think, imo, the best way to get of Richard is to have him slowly but surely realize Lois doesnt love him anymore, but loves Superman, and than slowly but surely have him realize Jason isnt his son, and than just sort of bow out, respectfully knowing this isnt his place.

[Spike_x1]

It will be Brainiac and Lex in the sequelSo if Metallo does make it into the sequel [...]:ninja:

[mego joe]

I think, imo, the best way to get of Richard is to have him slowly but surely realize Lois doesnt love him anymore, but loves Superman, and than slowly but surely have him realize Jason isnt his son, and than just sort of bow out, respectfully knowing this isnt his place.

The only thing is, the father that raises the child is more important to the child than the biological father that wasn't interested in the consequences of his sexual relations. At Jason's age he will have no concept that anyone else could be his father, no child could and no child would until they understand the mechanics of human reproduction.

It would be a horrible thing for Richard to 'bow out.' Jason is more Richard's son than SUperman's.

Biology gives the DNA, but nuturing gives the love and sense of belonging. That's why adoption and foster programs work.

[regwec]

It depends who the other villain would be. I would like their stories to be intwined. Both Luthor and Brainiac would be able and willing to build Metallo.

[green]

A mixture along the lines of Brynes and TAS would work for me.

[\S/JcDc\S/]

Mine.

Currently while still in the mindset of manipulation as a theme throughout the movie, here is what I would like which is subject to change ...



Well, I think it only makes sense that in order to give fans what they want... The following would be a great approach.



1. We know we want Brainiac AND Metallo.



2. We know many fans if not all want a Lexcorp business tycoon Lex for the sequel. The few that aren't pushing for it, don't oppose it. So that's a no-brainer imo.



3. I doubt there is fan that would oppose seeing STAR LABS and Professor Hamilton introduced.



So where does that leave us?



Well, if people don't mind a little bending of known characters:



I say, Brainiac manipulates Lex. Provides the technology needed to "destroy" Superman when infact to Brainiac it's the first BIG test for the MOS. So out of this, Lex involves himself with an unsuspecting Professor Hamilton to create a man as a prototype for the government. A military project that will be for the good of our country. The first of his kind. Lex finds the perfect guy that HE will manipulate into becoming what we know as Metallo. An ex military guy. The first time we see him introduced as John Corben we would have him in a wheel chair with no legs (ok well I think that would be cool). He could be established as having a bit of a suspect record, maybe even a discharge from the military. Lex could give a little speech like "I have chosen you for a very important project. How would you like to walk again? Infact, how would you like to be as strong as say... Superman?"



Maybe even establish Corben as doing some good at first making a few rescues BEFORE Superman can, then when Lex has him unleashed on Superman he cuts his ties claiming no involvement with this newly esablished "METALLO" keeping him in the clear.



Something like that anyways



We could see some of the creation from Professor Hamilton. Superman could even talk with the Professor and be told by him he feels it was a mistake to work on this project, wanting out. Later Lex could talk with the Professor saying something like "There is no in or out. There is only in." etc..

[Mister J]

The only thing is, the father that raises the child is more important to the child than the biological father that wasn't interested in the consequences of his sexual relations. At Jason's age he will have no concept that anyone else could be his father, no child could and no child would until they understand the mechanics of human reproduction.

It would be a horrible thing for Richard to 'bow out.' Jason is more Richard's son than SUperman's.

Biology gives the DNA, but nuturing gives the love and sense of belonging. That's why adoption and foster programs work.
This is my biggest problem with this how that entire dynamic was handled. You've placed Superman squarely in the middle of a messy family dispute. It brings into play unnecessary scenarios like Supes as an absentee father, Lois continuing to perpetuate a lie to someone who loves her or a very confused child. Those aren't themes I'd like to associate with Superman. I don't really see a feasible resolution to this outside of someone dying (which I actually don't have a problem with). Richard graciously stepping aside is weak. It could work if there wasn't a child that only knows him as his father, but that's not the case. Maybe it's possible to pull this off without forcing the movie to wade through more melodramatic crap, but I'd need someone to point it out.

Regarding Metallo, I think something close to TAS could work. I'd like to see 'the Metallo project' under the umbrella of the newly-formed LexCorp with Luthor trying to court public favor. Corben gets more than he bargained for as goes rogue. I don't want Lex as an out front, main villain, but more trying to manipulate the situation after things go awry. Have Luthor upgrade Metallo's power source to Kryptonite in an effort to kill two birds with one stone.

[Showtime]

I'd be upset if Richard became Metallo. I think him becoming evil would be an easy way out of resolving that love triangle situation, I'd rather see Richard die at the hands of Corben maybe protecting Jason. I dont want Superman and Lois together, until the end of third film

The problem with that is that Richard looks even more like a hero and competes with Superman.

[Cinemaman]

I would like to see fresh view of Metallo, not just versions from either comics or TAS, but something that we have never seen before.

[Showtime]

I want Metallo to be part Cinnamon as well.

[Cinemaman]

^^^

:up:

[Mister J]

How many different ways are there to go with a guy who gets a robotic body? :huh:

They can spin a few small details, but outside of the groundwork that's been laid in the comics and TAS, nothing comes to mind that isn't ridiculous.

[Showtime]

I am sure if Metallo is used Singer will grab from the comics and add his own twist, same with Brainiac.

[Mister J]

I'm praying whomever is chosen, isn't given some artificial sympathy angle. There's nothing wrong with a villain who's just drunk with power or sees others as inferior.

[Showtime]

I agree with you if they are using multiple villians, one can be as you described. Good and old fashion.

[Mister J]

Assuming they go with Corben, if they try to redeem Metallo and there's some line at the end about 'how his real heart isn't made of Kryptonite', I'm flinging a box of Milk Duds at the screen. :cmad:

[Motown Marvel]

i'd be all for something between byrne and TAS.

[darkseid26]

did not get any of the origins so voted on Byrne

[SuperDaniel]

Richard White should become Metallo if Metallo is ever going to be in the sequel. This way we solve many of the problemas with Superman Returns wich are:

1)Hero to compete with Superman - The character of Richard is a good character but i don`t wanna pay 10 bucks to watch my favorite hero on the big screen for the first time to find out that Richard is more heroic than Superman in the movie. Thats really what we didn`t need to see after so many years waiting to see the greatest hero on Earth in action.

2)The triangle problem - Richard becomes evil, Superman gets to raise HIS son. Fuch this Richard is Jonathan Kent to Jason and Superman is Jor-el. Superman is not dying. He can be there for his son. Him and Lois in the comics have a serious relationship and he still saves the world. Many parents are very busy(like mine) and could still educate me. Lois doesn`t love Richard. She loves Superman. Its that simple.

Richard should be in a plane accident that Superman didn`t save. This would be a parallel of the movie. Lets imagine that Brainiac is causing a chaos in the world and Superman doesn`t have time to save the plane Richard was in. Its emotional and its a good way to show Superman is not all that powerfull and cant be everywhere at the same time. Richard then dies and is revived by Luthor. He becomes Metallo. But Richard doesn`t become evil because he is a good guy. Using the animated series origin, Richard because he is dead, he loses the sense of touch so now he cant touch his son or feel LOis Lane`s kiss. We can make him a tragic Character that makes sense not a Terminator ripp off. Add Brainiac who sees in Jason a way to preserve the Kryptonian Legacy since he thinks Superman is way to good to become to evil and We`ll have a great sequel.

[\S/JcDc\S/]

The only way Richard turning bad is if

1. Something happens to both him and Jason to which he finds a reason to blame Superman for it's cause.

2. Jason dies, he lives just barely.

3. He also loses Lois as he feels she betrays him by siding with Superman on whatever happened.

That would be about the only way I can see his anger being enough to cause him to get manipulated.

[SuperDaniel]

^^^Did u read my post? I showed a way to turn Richard evil. Because he dies in the plane accident and later revived as a robot to compete with the Man of Steel, he loses the sense of touch so he cant feel anything anymore. This was one of the greatest things in the animated series version. This way, he can blame Luthor and Superman for not saving him. This makes him a tragic character and an interesting villain/anti-hero. He then later can sacrifice himself to save Superman, Jason and Lois from Brainiac and Lex.

[DangerousInc.]

Something original

[\S/JcDc\S/]

Again standing by my original statement

[Iron Fist]

If Brainiac and Luthor are the villains for the sequel, then I think they should save Metallo. Maybe just have John Corben cameo in the sequel.

[newmexneon]

I want to see Luthor responsible for the creation of Metallo. Something similar to TAS would be great.

[\S/JcDc\S/]

I want to see Luthor responsible for the creation of Metallo. Something similar to TAS would be great.


The majority seems to indicate they want it.

[Iron Fist]

I'm all for it.

[hoopy3]

My problem with Metallo is that he is powered by kryptonite. I am tired of seeing superman defeated because of kryptonite. Between STM, SR, and Smallville...i am just tired of it.

[Matt]

Well, the Singer-verse leaves us a bit limited, but I would've put him in SR. It would've made so much difference. Imagine how much better the movie would've been with some kind of pay off at the end. A big battle between Superman and Metallo on New Krypton. Superman knows NK is expanding and has to be gotten rid of, but Metallo won't let him. Would've made all the difference.

How could it have been done?

First, you'd have to establish Lex as someone with a great bit more resources than the movie gave him.

Second, make the bank robbery scene earlier...have one of the robbers be John Corben (of course, a slightly more credible actor would've been needed). A bullet bounces off Superman and into Corben's chest. He is pronounced dead on the scene. However, the EMT who pronounces him is none other than Kumar who loads him up into an ambulance and drives off.

The next scene is Lex's lab. He has turned Corben into a machine and convinces him that Superman is to blame and with Lex's help, he will get his revenge and then some.

Just like that, in five minutes worth of extra footage, you have a super villian who could've actually made the climax exciting and added more credibility to Lex as a villian.

[\S/JcDc\S/]

So who would you cast as Metallo if we are lucky enough to get him for MOS as a character?

[\S/JcDc\S/]

I remember Wentworth from Prison Break lobbying for a chance to play Zod. Maybe he'd be up for Metallo?

http://www.jsbc.com/images/default/yskx/2006442220.jpg

I alsways thought David Duchovny would work. Many people suggest Kevin Bacon. I wonder if there is a good english sounding fellow to get a bit of TAS feel that would work?

Hmm... Jude Law for Metallo? heh heh

[Matt]

I like the idea of Viggo Mortenson in the role.

[keith_v]

I heard the rumor was that it'd be the machine gunner from SR. I wouldn't put much stock in it though.

[\S/JcDc\S/]

I heard the rumor was that it'd be the machine gunner from SR. I wouldn't put much stock in it though.

I kind of ignore that rumor. Not that I'm saying it's a terrible idea, it just doesn't seem all that plausible.

[Matt]

I kind of ignore that rumor. Not that I'm saying it's a terrible idea, it just doesn't seem all that plausible.

It really doesn't. Warners will want box office gold if they green light Singer again. I really doubt they would let him use a glorified extra as a main character.

[Showtime]

I don't understand where the heck that rumor started. It was such a small character that it would make no sense in my opinion.

[\S/JcDc\S/]

Someone was bored and thought... Hmm the guy who shot Supes in the eye. YEAH!

[Matt]

I don't understand where the heck that rumor started. It was such a small character that it would make no sense in my opinion.

My honest guess is because Singer spent a good portion of the SFX budget and put so much emphasis on such a small, insignificant scene...it seems pointless to never reference it again. Someone put two and two together...and a rumor is started.

[Showtime]

2.3-2.4 million dollars might do that to some people.

I wish they continued the scene further, it would have made for a nice Superman moment. The SWAT finally arrives on the roof only to find the two hapless security guards standing there and all the bank robbers wrapped up in the helicopter blades. Then they say, "What took you so long".

[Optimus Prime.]

I dunno I have no ideas. It just better be someone good.

[Optimus Prime.]

Silver

[Lighthouse]

Anyone else surprised that after many years of the Hype's existance and a Transformers movie, the name Optimus Prime has only recently been taken?

Now we are talking.

[dark_b]

so much talking about metallo. was he even mention?

[Showtime]

Not necessarily, but villians such as Metallo, Brainiac, Bizzaro, Eradicator, Darkseid, fit with the theme started by SR.

[GreenKToo]

I think if they got Kiefer for Metallo, he would prolly own the role. Throw Hugo weaving in as Brainiac, and boy oh boy, look out..

[\S/JcDc\S/]

Kiefer Sutherland.

NICE. I can totally picture that :up:

[Matt]

Kiefer as Metallo would be great...but I think he'd make a really good Aquaman in a JLA movie, so I'd prefer they save him.

I could see Jude Law as Aquaman. He needs to bulk up a little though.

[terry78]

For some odd reason I want a british actor to portray Metallo...he just always seemed to have that air about him...plus McDowell's portrayal was pretty good.

[Showtime]

The dude from the new Halloween.

[Mr. Socko]

Who plays Myers?

[\S/JcDc\S/]

For some odd reason I want a british actor to portray Metallo...he just always seemed to have that air about him...plus McDowell's portrayal was pretty good.

That's not odd. As I said earlier having him be an english speaking (meaning a british kind of accent) fellow would put him in line with TAS version.

[Showtime]

Who plays Myers?

No. I believe he was talking about the guy who is playing Loomis.

The guy who is playing Myers is Tyler Mane, Sabertooth from X-Men.

[bgshw44]

either viggo mortenson or kevin bacon. the movie needs respected actors like the batman franchise and like the origional superman movie.

[bgshw44]

or what about gerard butler?

I know this was a rumor WAAAAY back during the very early Superman Returns days (before we knew the actual plot), but some guy came along with his inside source saying that in SR, Jor-El would be played by Jim Caviezel and John Corben would be played by Kevin Bacon.

I actually really like the Bacon as Corben casting. I think it would work well.

[ariellem]

Would love to have Hugo Weaving as Brainiac.

Gerard Butler was great in 300. I'd be on board with a role for him in MOS.

After seeing Viggo Mortensen(-son?) in "A History of Violence" I'd second seeing him as a bad guy in MOS.

Kevin Sorbo was hoping to be Superman at one point, and he's a lot of fun, and he's already more or less bulked up. Would like to see him in MOS too.

And can't we somehow get Ahnold on board? If not as a directly-punched villain (he is getting to grandpa age, after all), then as an evil corporate type?

[RouthIsSuperman]

If anybody could make it work, Kiefer can. :yay:

I am actually a year behind on 24. I am on season 5, or finishing it up.
So technically, you are only a day behind. :woot:

[SuperDaniel]

Yes. And its name is Superman Animated Series, episode called "THe way we all flesh" :rolleyes:

I just mixed the Returns storyline with the episode.

[Rob-el]

Why is Metallo in such high regards on these boards? I always have found the character boring - even the best verion from Animated ADventures. What am I missing about him that causes his name to come up so often?

[COMPO]

I'd be upset if Richard became Metallo. I think him becoming evil would be an easy way out of resolving that love triangle situation, I'd rather see Richard die at the hands of Corben maybe protecting Jason. I dont want Superman and Lois together, until the end of third film

What if people thought he died in a car accident and was made into Metallo by Lex or someone and goes after Superman. But, Jason finds out what happens and goes after Lex or some professor out ofr revenge and Superman has to convince him not to. Plus, if it is Lex this coudl be his revenge on Superman by making his son a murderer and like him.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Martin Henderson gave a really good performance in Flyboys and he looks a lot like John Corben IMO, so i would like to see him in the role.

And whoever suggested Viggo Mortensen, that is a great choice as well.

[super-t]

i say Daniel Graig

[Sharkfestation]

One of the main reasons why critics, fanboys, and audiences bashed Superman returns was because they used Kryptonite again as Lex Luther or the villain in general's way of defeat Superman. Now fanboys are begging and drooling for Metallo. Metallo basically a guy with rock his chest who has super strength ( almost every villain now days has that ablity. Only reason how he got the ablity to expand size is because he sold everything that was human to the denom Neron. Metallo is no different then the Kryptonite continent or huge mountain of Kryptonite or what ever you want to call it. They are both ways recycle things that have been done hundreds of times and try to make new again. In other words, it's like having a box of the same old cookies with a new box. For , those who say Metallo is a "great" visual, he is not. Robots or cyborgs or what ever you want to call them have been done to death in the movies. Audiences want to see something new and exciting. Metallo and Superman fight would just like the one in SR where Lex and his idiots because they had Kryptonite flashing around Superman's face. Heck, Bruce Timm and Paul Dini had a hard time writing Metallo epsiodes because he had that dumb rock in his chest. Even though Brainiac is a robot, he is different. He doesn't need a rock to bring Superman to his knees because he has Artificial intelligence of advanced alien orgin;


Superhuman strength

[superbaby]

if metallo means KRYPTONITE returns...
i'm with you.

SAY NO TO KRYPTONITE!!! :mad:

[Lighthouse]

I'm just not really interested in Metallo. I find Brainiac to be much more interesting.

[S_H_F_4839]

I wouldn't mind seeing a John Corben Cameo but no Metallo.

I wouldn't mind seeing braniac, but I would also like to see a kickass action sequence, just not sure who should be used for that.

[GreenKToo]

I would like metallo as a throw away villain. Have supes fight him in the opening sequence for maybe 10 mins. Also, he would have no connection to Lex or Brainiac.

[Justice Bringer]

Since they confirmed alien villian; I know it obviously wont be Metallo.

The fact they threw him into the video game makes me think theyre saving Brainiac for the actual film.

And yes; Kryptonite is done..... it should never appear again in the sequels.

[Showtime]

Metallo would work as a side villian in my opinion.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I'm just not really interested in Metallo. I find Brainiac to be much more interesting.

I agree, Brainiac has brains AND superpowers, he would be much better.

[BlackSuitSpidey]

No Metallo and NO FREAKIN' KRYPTONITE again!!! Just bring in Brainiac. He's better for a villain anyway.

[Super Kal]

U don't want Metallo either

[BrollySupersj]

Metallo should enter into the movies, main villain or side villain. I don't care, just put him in.

[Sharkfestation]

Why!? Did you even read my last post on this thread!?

[\S/JcDc\S/]

To answer original question.

Yes... or at least in the 0.00001%

Almost every villain thread cries out for Metallo. We all want to see him in the sequel!

[Showtime]

To bad that we are getting Lex, Braniac, and Darksied then.

[\S/JcDc\S/]

To bad that we are getting Lex, Braniac, and Darksied then.

I could live with that :)

[VenomsMom]

No Metallo and NO FREAKIN' KRYPTONITE again!!! Just bring in Brainiac. He's better for a villain anyway.
Everyone is clammering for The Terminator with Kryptonite. I doubt it. Brainiac seems more likely. The theme will be all about Krypton. So you can bet your a$$ there will be a villain with that link.

[\S/JcDc\S/]

If they would incorporate a younger Jor-el (before aging to Brando's look) where maybe 20 years ahead of time he forecasts the possibility of Krypton's destruction that would be cool. We could see Brainiac as the cause of it. Maybe even see the landscape of Krypton. Yeah yeah, I'm dreaming :p

[VenomsMom]

Brainiac just works well IMO. I just dont see Singer doing Bizarro or Metallo. Secrets of Krypton will be revealed and Brainiac will be the threat to civilization. That big turd colored rock orbiting in space will be back.

[Eros]

Nah Brainiac, has so many different variations i dunno what he is anymore. Hes just some really really really smart alien, with technopathy most of the time, who shrunk Kandor.

[Iron Fist]

I wouldn't mind seeing Metallo.

[Sharkfestation]

Weren't the same fanboys that were bashing Superman Returns because of Singer using Kryptonite to defeat Superman are now they are begging for Metallo?! Which doesn't make sense at all.

[BrollySupersj]

Why!? Did you even read my last post on this thread!?

Yeah, I did, and I don't give a rats ass about it. I want Metallo, he won't be in the sequel, that much is known. But I do want to him to come into the movies at some point or another. Brainiac is a good choice too, but I'm a bigger fan of Metallo.

[Sharkfestation]

Showtime029, what taking about? Darkseid and Brainiac kick ass! At least they are better then a walking piece of in the middle of it. Though I agree with you on Lex Luther.

[nighthunter]

Weren't the same fanboys that were bashing Superman Returns because of Singer using Kryptonite to defeat Superman are now they are begging for Metallo?! Which doesn't make sense at all.

they can always use a variation of metallo. it can be a nuclear or solar powered exoskeleton with a human john corben inside. it won't be kryptonite powered. they can always mess with comic-book history anyway.
and like one poster mentioned above, he could be a throw-away villain like what they did with bane in batman & robin.

[BrollySupersj]

If that happens, I'll gladly kill myself :csad:. BUT it won't, Metallo poses more then enough for a good villain.

I wasn't one of them.

[DarkSuperman]

Metallo is lame.

Kryptonite in Superman movies is soooooooo overdone. It's just used as a crutch for bad writing. "Instead of thinking really hard and creating a real threat to the man of steel that would provide excitement for the audience...let's just keep using that green rock."

Lame.

I'd much rather Superman go a few rounds with someone who is his physical equal without that whole. "Ohhhh, the pain it hurts...please turn the green light off" Scenario. Metallo in my eyes has ALWAYS been a weak villain. He just can't stand up to Superman's raw power, Superman has over a dozen powers...All of which he could use to to tear metallo a new oil hole.

Eradicator, Doomsday, Luthor in his Armor...those are cool concepts. I just want Superman to stop being Lame in movies.

[BrollySupersj]

Metallo would would be an excellent addition, we won't see him in the sequel, but I'll bet he'll be in the third.

[Sharkfestation]

Though I don't want Metallo to appear in a Superman movie, I would want him to appear in a Justice League movie as a member of the Legion of Doom.

[Lobo]

To bad that we are getting Lex, Braniac, and Darksied then.

Interesting. I've heard the same thing, from someone I trust big time that even told me about Bosworth before that happened and Showy you know me long enough to know I dont just make ***** up for the sake of it

Onto the thread topic I wouldn't mind Metallo as a side villain, but i want the general audience to see Supes fight someone that can kick his ass, without the aid of Kryptonite

I used to really want Metallo in, but the more I thought about it, the less I wanted him

[MrStockslivevan]

I'd be more interested with Brainiac in 2 and Darksied in 3. I'm not sure of Metallo, he's an interesting villain but I am not sure if he can live up for the big screen standards like the other two guys that are just epic waiting to happen.

[Sharkfestation]

For all those who want action and want Metallo as one of the villains, Superman can't get into a f**king fight with Metallo with that stupid rock in his chest. Watch this video and see that Superman can't get into much of a fight with Metallo. Sure he threw a punch at him when he didn't open up his chest, but still it's no different then in SR, when Lex and his idiots are kicking Superman around.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0l5Eoq9-44

[KaptainKrypton]

I'm not the biggest proponent of Metallo...

...unless they retool him at the core. By this I mean that his character isn't some b-line thug who gets roboticized, but it instead a smart scientist ala Luthor/Henshaw that has a screw loose and a well-placed grudge against Superman. That way he'd be a credible threat to Supes and not just an idiot with a T-800 suit and a sparkling emerald in his gut. Personally, I think the possibilities are much more well-founded when using Brainiac or Darkseid, myself. Brainiac opens up all sorts of avenues via Kandor, The Eradicator, The Phantom Zone, or even Doomsday if they wish to link him with Brainiac. Darkseid is the same way but with Apokolips, The Female Furies, Granny Goodness and the rest of the Kirbyverse. I'd also rather see Mongul, personally. There are a boatload of avenues they could go with, and I honestly don't see Corben as being the end-all. He'd have been a good rudimentary supporting villain helping Luthor in SR, but what's done is done. Metallo is a villain I've never been completely high on. Mainly because of the limitations of some of the source material. Not saying that he didn't get a hell of a lot cooler when they made him technokinetic, but that would prove to be ultra-redundant and reduce his wow factor by five because they already used him for the video game.

[Sharkfestation]

About Darkseid and Apokolips, I would love to see Darkseid, the Female Furies, Granny Goodness, Desaad, Mantis, Kalibak, Kanto, Steppenwolf, and Virman Vundabar in a Superman flim. All you need to do is have Krypton replace New Genesis as the planet that fought Apokolips for many years and kept its eye in it. After Krypton was destroyed, Darkseid terrorized the Universe. All those characters could just be hechmen and women that work for Darkseid. Also Darkseid would be better to see on flim then a giant Homer Simpson in purple tights a.k.a Mongul.

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I loved the way he was done in STAS.

[Super Kal]

yeah, no Metallo...


Brainiac as the main villain and Jason as a temporary villain :up:

[Spider–Man]

We need someone who is closer to Superman's size so Supes can relate to and interact with him. Darkseid, Doomsday, someone like that.

[Super Kal]

... or a genetically altered Jason...

[Iron Fist]

Is Jason as a villain a good thing?

[Lobo]

To some yes. To me No.

[SuperDaniel]

The only way i see Metallo is if Richard becomes him.

[Iron Fist]

To some yes. To me No.

Yeah, I wouldn't want it to happen.

The only way i see Metallo is if Richard becomes him.

I would prefer John Corben.

[Moviefan2k4]

To me, Metallo was never that much of a memorable character. My only recolletions of him are a one-shot episode from the old "Superboy" series, and the android version from the 1990s cartoons. Personally, I'd like to see Superman deal with Brainiac or Doomsday.

[NotFadeAway]

Maybe it's the lack of any news to discuss, maybe it's me not wanting to get into a verbal debate about Singer/Donner vs. Timm/Dini, maybe it's that I'm bored and on break from work, maybe it's that I've never seen a thread for Metallo, maybe it's that I'm sick of discussing humanoid vs. robot Braniac, which I started mind you, maybe it's that I'm sick of Braniac in general and would rather see Eradicator to begin with in an origin film, but regardless, lets talk Metallo.

Metallo is one of my favorite Superman villians of all time. Is he somewhat an evil Robocop and half human Terminator, yeah, but who doesn't wanna see Superman whoop the hell out of the Terminator. One of the things I like about Metallo is that he works as both the main villian and the side villian, he can be the focal point and fight both Superman and Lex, or he can be Lex's muscle. For movie purposes, I say he should be the muscle, but I wouldn't complain if he was the main threat. Singer made a mistake, one of many, by not utilizing Metallo's talents with Lex controlling Kryptonian tech and all, would have made a monotonous plot a little more interesting.

So, who do YOU want for Metallo/John Corben. My choices would be Jason Statham or Adam Baldwin!

If a thread like this has been created and is three/four pages deep, "my bad".......but this is the new one!

[Jochimus]

My choice would be Malcolm McDowell as a more behind-the-scenes type of criminal with brains - a "collaborator" for Lex, if you will. His age notwithstanding, his voice alone is perfect for the role since he already provided Metallo's voice on S:TAS.

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Okay I love the animated series as much as the next person but you can't just take everything from it. He is too old.

[NotFadeAway]

10-15 years ago I would have agreed. His is just too old now. He does have a great voice for it.

[Nightwing1977]

Kevin Bacon. I don't know why, but I like the idea. Plus, didn't Geoff Johns or someone mention about Bacon being a good choice for the role? I somewhat agree with that opinion. :)

I'd cast Vinnie Jones as John Corben/Metallo & go for an approach similar to Metallo from "Superman: The Animated Series". His voice is very similar & I believe he could easily pull off the role, the guy can be very aggressive.

[Karem-Knight]

Sam Rockwell.

The same guy who played the Juggernaught can't play Mettallo it just wouldn't be right..


I certainly wouldn't go with the half human aspect either... I would make him pure cybernetic with a Villains brain...ala RoboCop 2 but done with far more style. Thats.....if I liked Metallo but I do not.....



actor I would choose.... Hugh Lurey AKA DR. Gregory House....

[Nightwing1977]

Not a bad choice there. I know he try to do SR as Perry White, so why not get him again for Metallo? Not to mention Singer is involved with House. ;)

Horrible choice for Metallo. HORRIBLE. He's a great actor but he is totally wrong for Metallo.

Btw, who the hell is Sam Rockwell?

Yeah, I think I would've said that many years ago, too. People who don't know ***** think he just gets his roles b/c of his looks, but dude, switch off f'ing Dragon Ball and watch Seven and Fight Club - if you still don't think he's a great actor, then okay, but I hope you aren't talking without having seen those movies.

[The Joker_1000]

Dude, no one is saying Brad Pitt is a bad actor but he wouldn't fit in a Superman movie & me being an avid watcher of DB has nothing to do with Brad Pitt, don't make yourself look foolish.

Hugh Laurie shouldn't be Metallo, Brainiac or any other Superman villain. Seriously, he's a great actor but wouldn't fit in a Superman movie.

Rob Flanagan is a glorified stunt man. There is no way Warners would let him headline a movie like this. If we know nothing else, it is that Warners is going to insist on some star power to help sell SR2 (if it happens).

I'm in the minority, but I DON'T want Metallo as a villain. Why? Because whenever he fights Superman, all he has to do is expose his kryptonite center, and Supes weakens, so he gets his ass kicked. If Supes figures out a way to get rid of the kryptonite, he kicks Metallo's ass in less than a minute.

It's a boring fight. I want someone who can really challenge Supes strength when its at its full potential, not when its being weakened by kryptonite.

The Metallo will look similar to the Terminator like Arnold Schwarznegger played can you tell the difference.

Dennis Leary can play John Corben What do everyone think ? I don't think Dennis Leary did a villain before. Maybe, he can be good at it.

The fact he has the k-heart makes him one of Superman's better foes. Plus too add, Singer showed Supes capable of lifting a k-laced hunk of earth. I'm sure he could deal with Metallo without getting his ass kicked all the time.

Also...to add to the discussion at hand about who should play Metallo. I'd rather see Metallo as a physically imposing presence. I don't think he needs to speak much. I'd like to see someone like that guy from Gone in Sixty Seconds who didn't speak.

Great minds think alike. :woot:

Metallo is too TERMINATOR to use him in a live action movie.
