Ah, so that's why the baby's "special":

In this version of Krypton, children aren't born - they're engineered. "People were bred to be warriors or scientists or what-have-you, and there's a whole element in the movie about nature versus nurture." Kal-El is unique because he's a natural conception, free from genetic manipulation to choose his own course in life - which also makes his existence highly illegal.
Funny, I proposed a while back that Kal-El is actually bio-engineered to be a super-soldier (and maybe even from Zod's DNA). But it looks like their doing vice versa.
 
:woot::woot::woot: I knew it! Didn't think they'd go so far as [BLACKOUT]illegal[/BLACKOUT] :wow: the plot thickens.
And that would explain why Faora's the one who really [blackout]kicks his ass. Because Antje Traue says that Faora was basically engineered to be a killing machine. And that has essentially lead to her being a psychopath.[/blackout]

Also, in that one pic of Faora and Lois... [blackout]Faora's actually just giving Lois a breating apparatus because she otherwise wouldn't be able to breathe on the ship. And apparently, Faora's wearing that helmet to protect herself from sensory overload from our sun. So I guess the Kryptonians have some adjusting to do[/blackout].

Actually, that picture looks a lot like Faora downloading something from Lois - the English language perhaps? Looks like this might be how Zod and co. can speak English...

The article says she's giving her a breathing apparatus. But I suppose she could be multi-tasking, lol.
 
Hmm, would be nice to have an explanation of why Zod and co can speak English...
 
Print screen it (press the home and on/off button simultaneously) and then upload them through an image app like Uploadr. :D
 
I feel sorry for all of our buddies across the pond. They're missing out. :grin:

Wow, I didn't know you could print screen from an iPad! Thanks, I'll get on that now.
 
i told you they would use the real actors for close up flying. no reason for fear.
 
which is the script that had Superman dying, and then his spirit impregnating Lois to be reborn?


was that Flyby, too?


and is Flyby the one where Cavill was set to play Superman but the director was too scared of flying and so the project got scrapped?


My friend, you are thinking of the Superman Reborn script by Jonathan Lemkin, which was the first Death of Superman film script after WB got all the rights back from the Salkinds. In that version; Clark Kent wrestles with his feelings for Lois Lane, just as monstrous bad guy, Doomsday, arrives. Superman and Doomsday fight in a monumental battle that results with both characters dead. As Superman dies in Lois' arms, and he finally confesses his love for her, his spirit would leave his body and enter hers, impregnanting her with his and her baby. In a matter of days, the baby is born, and grows up into a 21 year old in a matter of weeks. Lois would be killed off, and the new Superman would save the world from a doomsday clock, officially becoming the new Man of Steel to the world.


Yup...glad we didn't get that one, huh

Is that true? If so, then that is a great idea! Just like the Dark Knight Saga, and nearly every single superhero film to date; they've taken various ideas from the source material and mixed and matched them to create new ideas. In this case, it reminds me of John Bryne's Man of Steel where kryptonians are bred, and Kal-El, but unlike the comic, it is natural like the other versions before and after that reboot. I also like that, even if he lived on Krypton, just like on Earth, Kal-El would've still grown up different from the society.
 
Well, I didn't feel like downloading another app, so I've emailed them to myself and am about to upload them to imageshack. Since I can't post all of them due to the Hype rules, any requests for which parts of the article I should post here?

flickchick85 could i get a pm with those scans when you get a chance?
Yeah, no problem.

Yeah, no problem.

Could you perhaps PM me too?
 
At the risk of laying it on a bit thick (but not that badly), the film theme seems to be all about free will and choice. After everything that happens, Clark /Kal-El CHOOSES to be Superman, even though he was not engineered for that role.

That's actually really beautiful. Amazing how this is actually delving into eugenics.
