All Things Superman: An Open Discussion

[Kal-El.9859]

I'd love to see Eradicator, Intergang and some of the villains that haven't been used yet

I'd like to see all of his villains done justice on screen. But first and foremost I'd like to see the one that suits the story Snyder and Goyer want to tell. But I do think it would be difficult to use Metallo or Parasite to one-up an appearance from Brainiac. This coming from a fan of the characters.

 

[Kal-El.9859]

Besides Darkseid, Brainiac > All of those guys you listed > Doomsday.

do you mean they are greater than Doomsday???

 

[manofsteel4life]

im sure he meant besides the obvious

 

[HighFivingMF]

Yeah. Other than the fact he killed Superman (and the bright green shorts) he's not a remotely memorable character. If Superman had survived that story he wouldn't have been used once afterward.

 

[Kal-El.9859]

I was gonna say, I don't think too many of those could hold their own against Doomsday but that doesn't mean you shouldn't use them. I love having Lex in the movies but I think he needs to be more of a background player now...the man in the shadows of Metropolis

oh...I think I get what you're saying

I mean, Doomsday could kick all of their asses. But I personally find the rest of his prominent Rogues gallery more interesting. I suppose Doomsday could be adapted into an interesting character were he given some personality. But if it were up to me I'd choose Lex, Brainiac, Darkseid, Mongul, Metallo, Bizarro Parasite, so and so forth over him. But as long as it's a movie starring Superman my ass will be in the seat opening night either way.

Spoiler

Though my guilty desire would be to see the "Whatever Happened To The Man of Tomorrow?" version of Mr. Mxyzptlk.

 

[Kal-El.9859]

i will definitely be AIS when it hits theaters

ditto...

....my letter to God....please give us a couple more years to watch more superman movies.....love, your pityful servant...

 

[Asteroid-Man]

you're guess is as good as mine. Maybe the Canadian military, if there is such a thing, didn't want to help out. Most times the US military is willing to help movies at no charge

It was probably just a matter of Harper's government not lending military equipment out as props - which makes sense to an extant; a lot of Canadians wouldn't want their tax dollars going towards film sets especially considering how much we spend on our taxes either way.

 

[Kal-El.9859]

but all the revenue a big time movie like that would bing into their area and country would more than make up for it...I think anyway

 

[Herolee10]

I think the bigger question at the moment would be:

Which villain could they select for Superman to face in this film IF:

1. It's a origin story for Superman since you can't have him going up against a SUPER THREAT on his first encounter with a major villain

2. Possibly, someone who isn't Lex

Its very clear from what’s been said that it will be a Super threat, Returns made it look like a Superman film cant Survive without a Super fight breaking out.

I know that. I think I should have been more specific in my previous post. I meant to say that obviously you can't have Superman fighting Doomsday or Darkseid as his first foe in a origin film.

And I would think that someone like Brainiac could work or not for his first adversary.

Though if they were to go with a newly translated powered up Zod, I wouldn't mind at all as well.

 

[Kal-El.9859]

I think he could go up against the military...I'm waiting to hear casting for Sam Lane

 

[Shabadoo]

I like the military idea, where he'd have to hold back in some respects out of fear of hurting or even killing soldiers. Much like what happened in Secret Origins.

 

[Kal-El.9859]

I mean signs are pointing towards that considering that they are looking for military hardware

 

[Rodrigo90]

Its starting sound more likely that the plot that was taking down,the one I posted,may be the real deal...

Where might I find this?

 

[Rodrigo90]

I think its on page 11

 

[Mr. Thing]

I know the sources for that plot aren't solid or anything, and it's probably false, but I really think a story like that could work.

 

[Kal-El.9859]

I wouldn't mind seeing Superman go up against the military but I'd also like a villain he can knock the **** out of

love it. but the hulk has done it somehow...

 

[Kal-El.9859]

I think if Supes faces off against the military in this film he will make the Hulk look like a chump...
