Snyder and I are literally on the same wavelength.
So where does it go ... July a week after Pirates V (revenge for Superman Returns) ... or Christmas time?
On June 14th (or early 15th) you'll believe a Superman can make 100 million on it's opening weekend.I do.
I could be down for the Flash cause I think that would be simple to make work. And if you wanna throw some physics in there about how his super speed causes all sorts of damage go for it! GL could have and should have been great. I can sit and watch that cartoon series with my kids and have a blast. However, the moment that GL basically tanked, JL got slid back a number of years IMHO. Granted WB is probably never going to listen to anything I have to say, but if you wanna blow people away with JL you have to do it correctly. The regular everyday people who make up the majority of the box office take have to be invested in the characters or at least have an idea about them to fork over 10 and 20 bucks to go see a flick. The people like my wife who rolls her eyes at me everyday because I mention something about MOS. Does she want to see it. Sure she does. But does she have the same drive to watch all the spots and trailers and come on here and post and read what you guys are saying? Nope cause she is too busy playing Everquest!!
I LOVE The Iron Giant.
Intruiging notion.I'm a big fan of a Robert J Sawyer novel called Mindscan, which describes a future where humans have managed to create artifical replicas of the human brain in robot bodies. Bear with me....
When people are nearing death, they can make a complete copy of their brain (down to every last neuron) within the confines of the artificial one. It doesn't transfer their consciousness as such - but creates a new copy, which has all the memories, thoughts and feelings of the old one. That person then goes off to die, whilst the 'new' version of them lives on - perhaps infinitely. And from the perspective of the new one, it believes it is the original - perhaps in a different form, but it has every memory and all the same characteristics and such.
I've a feeling that the virtual Jor-El AI may be similar to this. The original Jor-El will die on Krypton, but before he does he may create a copy of his mind, for want of a better expression. Rather than hosting it in a new physical body however, it will materialise as a hologram. And by having all the traits of his original mind, it will be able to answer anything that Jor-El knows (up until the point he copied his mind, at which point this new version began carving its own future) and will also retain all his thoughts, feelings and emotions towards his son.
On Earth, we take videos, photos and blogs to keep a history of our lives. Kryptonians are significantly more advanced than us (25,000 years of space travel behind them) so their method of recording their history may be a lot more complex
