Probably kryptonite in a weapon form produced by Lex Luthor. It was done before in comics that LexCorp and US Army has several contracts for develop weapons and technologies. |

Why not?
See the rumors: General Lane in the story, locations being choose because Warner need big support from military. Some rumors says that at first Superman has no trust from people form some unknown reason. And if that reason has something to do with Zod? And what if everyone thinks that Superman is, for any reason, an ally of Zod? US Military is in a position to try to stop them, while Superman also try to stop Zod, and they get attacked in the crossfire. |

I would kinda like Kryptonite to stay away until the end of the film or something. Lex finding it in the end would be neat.

Lest we forget that magic is also one of his weaknesses. I'm not saying introduce magic into the films lol, but other weaknesses must be considered. As been mentioned in a previous post, Superman & Zod should be able to go toe-to-toe, as super-powered individuals whilst in the presence of (Earth's) yellow sun. Thereby making the threat of Kryptonite in order for Superman to have greater dramatic conflict/impact null and void. I do think it should show up at some stage in the reboot, just not the first film please, as it is one of the key components of Superman mythology. Also as with my point about Superman: The Animated Series, they did kinda de-power Superman because they didn't want him to be an all invincible being, as they thought no conflict or pain would be boring, so what it would really come down to is how invulnerable you make the Man of Steel; i.e. do you make him this all supreme near-God like being, or make it like even a threat that you would expect him to survive can hurt a bit. E.g. Season 1 of Smallville, Clark is bulletproof, yet the bullets still inflict pain by giving him bruises Last edited by Spidey220987; 04-12-2011 at 01:07 PM. Reason: in order for Superman to have greater dramatic conflict/impact |

In fact, bring about a red sun if possible.
How you'd go about doing that beats me, but it'll be better than Kryptonite lol |

I've never really understood the red sun weakness. It's not as if a red sun is the opposite of a yellow one, it's just an older, cooler sun. It shouldn't harm Superman anymore than nighttime.
I said in another thread I'd like to see what else kryptonite can do besides harm Superman. In the comics, it powers Metallo, and gave Conduit and Russian Zod superpowers, and the waste from experimentation on it transformed Rudy Jones into Parasite. Then that was expanded upon in Smallville. I don't really want it implied that kryptonite can just randomly mutate anyone though. Plus, I'm thinking, considering that it can give humans powers, maybe it relates to Kryptonians and their abilities too. Like an early form of kryptonite existed as part of the planet and gradually evolved Kryptonians into solar batteries, and the destruction of Krypton changed it into something lethal to Kryptonians. |

So, red sun didn't hurt Superman like kryptonite, just make him a normal person, non-superpower, like a kryptonian living in krypton. |

Kryptonite should be extremely rare, like maybe only two or three pieces exists on the entire Earth. If its as numerous as it was on SV, then it would kinda take away the Super in Superman.
And I sure wouldn't want the military having Kryptonite weapons, that would be even worse than the SV bit I mentioned.

The maximum age for Superman is arguable....but I believe the facts to support a methuselah-like Superman are fairly recent.....but my question involved normal(red-sun)Kryptonians?

I never got Kryptonite weapons? Kryptonite is the weapon. Smallville is the worst use of Kryptonite in all Superman iterations.

I agree, I think it would be a neat cliffhanger similar to the Joker Card in BB. If Lex is in this movie, I would love for him to discover it right at the end

what about other objects from krypton that are not organic, ie, metal, cloth, glass, etc. are they indestructable as well?
I remember reading an older superboy comic where he and martha took some glass from his crashed ship, and made lenses for his glasses so he could use his x-ray vision while wearing them without melting them. I was just wondering if the same thing still applied today in modern comics.

I think that had to do with everything on Krypton having a dense molecular structure.

No kryptonite in the first film. Use it in a sequel.

At first, I thought that Kryptonite didn't have a place now Zod was the villain, but when you think about it, how else are they going to finish the fight?

Creative writing....using Kryptonite to challenge Zod would be equally as trite as using it to always challenge Superman.
