Ditto on the "hot" comments LOL. Yeah, I've always had a big thing for superheroes.triplet said:
Oh, I did. It was the first thing I thought of after reading Gough's quote. There was an episode of T6MDM where Steve is on assignment somewhere in the South. He hits his head and you guessed it, he gets amnesia. (The amnesia thing is VERY common in this genre. "Blank," anybody? LOL) Anyhoo, so Steve doesn't know who he is, or that he's part machine. When his right arm is accidentally ripped open in an accident, he sees the wires hanging out and thinks he's a machine. ALL machine. This royally freaks him out until he cuts his finger on the other hand from the wires and then bleeds. A woman who is there to witness the incident comforts him and tells him she doesn't understand what's going on either, but it's obvious he's human and they would get to the bottom of things together. It was a touching scene.
They already did in Whisper. I doubt we'll be seeing him wear glasses any more in the show though since he does that after he shows up in the suit as Superman, and we won't be seeing *that* till the very end. They may allude to the glasses as a means for disguise though; doesn't the Maya character in Vengeance wear glasses?Mike_D said:
"Kolchak: The Night Stalker" was Chris Carter's main inspiration for creating The X-Files. It was an awesome show, so good in fact, they tried to remake it recently with Stuart Townsend as Karl.mellyM said:
WW is taken, so to speak, like Batman was. They can't use her. Robin... well... didn't he come *after* Batman? So, if they can't use Batman, I suppose they're not going to be able - or want to - use Robin. Right? And GL and MM opens up the "alien" door a LOT further than SV may want to broach right now. It's complicated enough having Kryptonians "popping up" every few episodes when you least expect it LOL.musclesforsupes said:
"Darkside?" Is he a friend of Darth Helmut? Heh! S'kay Muscles, we know whatcha meant.musclesforsupes said:
On top of everything, I can't see them making a feature film about Bizarro, or even including him in another Superman film, so I would imagine the SV folks *could* use him if they wanted to. Only question is, would it be somewhat derivative of other episodes? (Not that it's stopped them before LOL)
AgentPat said:
Which goes back to the whole casting issue. That said, I really liked Townsend in LoEG. He was wonderfully sarcastic ("What are you?" "I'm complicated!") and babalicious to boot. What they did to him in TNS was tragic, not to mention how incredibly poor the writing was. Ah vell.triplet said:

I was just watching the episode Ryan. And Lex says real life isnt a comic book, its not always that black and white. It made me think of all you guys here who want the characters that they use in Smallville to be exact copies of what you see in the comic books.

Bizzaro would be VERY interesting, but they'd have to "adapt" the character to fit into SV continuity. No suit is a bit of a change, if not a big change. I suppose if it works for Clark, it would work for Bizzaro. Not sure I'd want him referred to as "Bizarro" though. Something more creative... like Chloe first spotting him and telling Clark she saw somebody who looked like him, "except he acted more bizarro." LOL! Yeah, that would work. Hee! I'm also a big fan of giving Welling any opportunity to act OOC.
That's what we've been saying. Covenant's Kara *wasn't* the REAL Supergirl. Her "real" name (in the episode) wasn't even Kara, it was Lindsey (sp?) Maybe the SV writers are just using the Teen Titan character as a template. That is to say, a human with cybernetic implants. It shouldn't be the actual character that's important, it's how that character influences the SV characters, namely Clark and Lex.Lt. Figgnuts said:
But there IS. The "am I human or machine?" story has been done dozens of times in fiction. Here's SV's opportunity to tackle the question and use it as a metaphor to help Clark. Who cares if SV's version of the character matches what's been established elsewhere? Just because the character has the same name (Kara) and can do what their comic's version can do (superpowered Kryptonian), doesn't necessarily mean the SV version (Lindsey) will actually BE that character (Supergirl.)

I saw them, but didn't read them. No offense to Sage, but I didn't want to be spoiled. There were some references to the new Crisis series and I haven't read it yet. I have the issues; I just haven't read 'em. I hit the comic store every few weeks, stock up on the latest issues of various Supes' comics, and then read 'em when I have time. Birthright was one of the few series I read IN THE CAR on my way home from picking up the latest issue LOL. That was such an amazing series. But with Crisis, man... it's freakin' deep. It's not "difficult" or anything - don't get me wrong - I just need to be in a certain mindset to read that stuff and absorb it all. BR just flowed. It was beautiful. They could have cast Danny DiVito in a Superman film based on BR and I would have been all over it like white on rice...RakuMon said:

Gah. Don't get me started, Rak.
