I think of it more as Super Lung Capacity, which makes sense to me .

That's exactly what it would be. Like i said anybody can make their own "super-breathe", breathe on your hand with your mouth open and then feel how cool it is when you contort your lips.

Superman would be like that just times a million essentially.

This might be old news, but i found it interesting

Justice League Dark doesnt happen before Justice League, if at all.

 

[InJustice]

actually IMO heat vision is more plausible than super breathe....Superman absorbs sunlight and uses it to fuel his powers. It makes sense that his body would be able to weaponize the energy he absorbs.

Super-Breath can exist (in theory ofc), like someone said: we have the ability to take in air and breathe out cooler air by circling our lips. For it to be as effective as Superman, we'd have to have not only immense lung capacity, which in turn would allow for a way to breathe out even cooler air (we're talking subzero temperatures as molecules reduce in mass due to constant pressure of lungs).

Heat Vision may be plausible, but you'd have to look at the cellular foundations of how the body converts energy. The implication I got from watching Man of Steel is that Kryptonian bodies have a radical way of converting stored energy (radiation) into heat. The cost is that this beam of expelled energy makes him function like a battery, each vision expulsion runs the risk of losing his entire yellow sun radiation collection. This is wildly different from Superman Returns, where Superman's Heat Vision was basically a stream of heated air that has higher kinetic energy (and continues to heat up insofar as Superman continually concentrates his vision on the stream of air) than other oxygen molecules.

^ The trouble with superbreath, is I think of hardened saliva. Maybe that's just me being gross

 

[Mysteryman]

Well, Heat Vision could always melt that , LOL!

 

[Mysteryman]

What is different about the Kryptonian physiology that allows their bodies to act as a solar battery,?

Watchmen did, I don't know why this suddenly can't

 

[Rowsdower!]

I just hope they don't call it Justice League Dark. That's a horrible title and it's a bit misleading.

I think that's a working title, I can't say them titling a film Justice League Dark before they've even done a JLA movie. Then again it is WBs

 

[Rowsdower!]

Yeah. Never forget... these still are the guys who rolled out a bogus Catwoman movie before Batman Begins.

If you read the novelization of Death and Return of Superman that's how Dr Hamilton explained Superman's physiology.

I still haven't subjected myself to that film

to be fair that movie was set in the Burton Batman universe

 

[shallbecomeabat]

No it wasn't. Catwoman wasn't set in a DC universe or even Batman universe, period. There was no Gotham, no Batman, no Selina Kyle, nothing. It was the Crow, with a girl and cats. Thats it. Oh and it was the biggest pile of garbage I have ever seen.

 

[InJustice]

Interesting, I should take a gander at that comic (The only adaptation I've seen was Superman: Doomsday).

Dark Universe is a better title.

When they talk about other people that the cats 'gave their powers to' the one lady shows Halle a pic of Michelle's Catwoman.
Her resurrection scene is the same as the one in Batman Returns.

It's a good read and they go into the theory that Superman is pretty much a solar battery and that extensive use of his heat vision uses up his stored energy...at that point he'll feel tired and need to replenish his energy.

thats kind of what I was saying,
But if it is delayed until after JL, it probably wont get made .

 

[roach]

Just call it Dark League

 

[Mysteryman]

If PR doesnt do well then whatever you call it, this JL spinoff might not happen at all.

 

[roach]

Sucker punch didn't do well and Snyder still got to do Man of Steel

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

PR will do well. It was hyped as a bot vs monster movie, so people will be won't be expecting much. If it has good characters and dialog, they'll give it an even higher word of mouth. Factor in the 3D and Imax showings, as well as impressive CG, I think PR will go strong, and Del Toro will be able to crank out more stories with WB.
