Agreed, I always felt he depowered Supes just a tad too much

[bunk]

Yeah Mark Waid ftw.

[The Guard]

Myself. What a silly question.

[dark_b]

why pay money for something that you can do yourself? the writters will get every comicbook. they can study everything from superman. WB,writters and director have a meeting so that they see if they are on the same page .
voila.

[charl_huntress]

I"m just going to say Loeb and Berkowitz.

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Timm, I hate how powerful Superman has gotten.

[batman44]

Timm, Dini, and Loeb.

Oh yes the writers will go back and read all of the various arcs from start to finish after having returned from their time machine journey in which they traveled back to their youth and got themselves to like comics as children.

Please.

I suggest WB just pay the men their money.

Bruce TIm doesn't like Superman, he is a Batman fanboy.
Deborah Levine, this is a joke, right? Lois & Clark was BAD. THat's not the true Superman we want to see.

Get MAGGIN.

Agreed....if the Timmverse came into existence then Batman would save Superman every single time

exactly. Batman stole Superman's girl in Superman's own show!! Humilating.

This is just my little opinion, but I actually wouldnt mind seeing him depowered at least a little in the next film. Not weakened to the point where he strains to move a tank or plane, but not so strong that he can lift an entire Island either.

[SuperDaniel]

Bruce Timm, Jeph Loeb, Grant Morrison, Mark Waid...

[Anubis Raptor]

These choices are really "stunning"....

Glad I'm not the only one. That was a little frustrating for me during STAS's time.

Superman has no Limits but seriously I dont think Supes should ever struggle with things. To me Superman is a superhero to Superhero's. The one solid thing I liked about returns was that they got Superman's strenght spot on.

[TruerToTheCore]

I like it when Superman's powers grow when he is using them. At first, when an asteroid comes flying he can barely stop him but after a few seconds he can push him back.

[GreenKToo]

Can you imagine just how strong the villain will have to be to offer Superman a real challenge?
This should, and could, put all other C.B. films action scenes to shame *IF* it's done correctly.

[Superfreak]

I could think of a group of about 10 posters on this board that would result in a good test group at the least, if not a group that could brainstorm a brilliant plot line for a sequel.

[Retroman]

There are a number of possibilities with Geoff Johns being a top candidate because of his success as a Superman writer, affiliation with Richard Donner and willingness to actually be involved in a Superman movie.

For artistic influence it would be great if they could get Alex Ross and/or Jim Lee to be involved in some way. Ross seems(ed) interested in notion of working with Singer.

UGO: I was lucky enough to go to the set of Superman in Australia. They had artwork everywhere in the offices that looked enough like your artwork that the other journalists were like, "Is Alex Ross doing this?" But obviously you're not.

ALEX: They did take images from some of my books and rework them into different compositions. The designer of the movie told me that they're going to show some of how they did that in one of the art books next year. I've been quoted as being inspiration for the film, but I was never invited to be part of the project. I have had absolutely no hand in what they are doing. So for me, I didn't understand what they meant by it, but I guess I influenced some of the compositions, some of the grandiosity of how Superman is viewed, but I'm much more of a nuts and bolts guy who says, "Where's the guy with the big body?"

UGO: Would you have been interested in doing something with it?

ALEX: Oh absolutely. I desperately wanted to get a hold of Bryan Singer when I heard he was given the job, but I didn't get contacted by anyone until they were already well underway.

Not every successfull comic book movie has taken this approach no but it wouldn't hurt if Singer tried something like this.

Mike Mignola who created Hellboy is heavily involved in the films, Jon Favreau consulted a group of comic book writers and artists for Iron Man and the same was done on The Dark Knight where Jerry Robinson consulted.

I would love to see that, I mean must of the ideas I have heard has something to do with either Jason saving the day and Superman dead to have Jason take his place or Richard and Jason travelling or some crap like that.

[Ultimate_Superman]

Jason should save the day... but at a price. And it should be glorious

Interesting. I like the idea of Ross or Johns being consultant on MoS, despite thinking Ross is an ass & has an ego as big as his head. But why would he be fine with doing MoS? He dislike Routh being hired with saying he doesn't have a body like Atlas along with being a Welling's fan. Not to mention he dislike the SR suit since it was a little different. Funny, but he did the same thing on Spider-Man & Green Goblin when he show how he would make the costume look like in the films. What a hypocrite there. I guess he wouldn't mind doing MoS to get lots of money.
