Hey everyone. BS based his films's "vague history" on STM and SM2. However, with Donner's Cut of the film out soon, and it being reveled that the Donner cut is pretty different from the theatrical version, doesn't this put SR out of loop?

However, the FOS being destroyed, no amnesia kiss, yeah, he might be irked. But look on the bright side, we will actually get a good Superman movie in 2006.

You really shouldn't speak for everybody......that maybe how you feel but not everyone feels the way you do.casketmouth said:SR is out the loop no matter what...no one cares for this new/old take of Superman. we wanted FRESH ideas not rehash. Even Nolan broke that with a character that has gone through rehash after rehash after rehash. Batman Begins now stands alone in it's own right. Borrowed NOTHING but that the idea that the suit is rubber or whatever and that it's fully black. Everything else is fresh. that's how you revive and idea. You do things nobody has ever seen or even expected.
fanboyhunter said:Does anyone think that if not for the timing of SR that they may have considered releasing this in limited theaters. Would there have been an audience for Donner's version of Supes II. And if so, how would it have done at the box office?
Yeah I guess your right, I was thinking that since it seems that most people look back fondly on the Donner vision, that they would show mass support as in theater dollars. Yet now I guess that, that is pretty much the point that was in the past and it added to the Supes mythos, and it's time to start a new chapter, which BS didn't seem to do. Good for 1978 not 2006.The Game said:It would have been in a very limited cinema's and as far as box office it would not even register

Wesyeed said:Vague history means that it's not directly a sequel to donner's cut or anybody's cut. It's just some parallel universe like in Sliders where some of what occurred in the original films' universe did happen and others didn't I guess. it's confusing to try to figure out a way these films are connected in continuity so I won't try. ...
super-bats said:wait.....so....umm........if Supes turns back time in S2......then how does he save Lois at the end of S1?
also......if Supes turns back time in S2.....does that mean he completely erases all events that happened in S2? Meaning......Lois finding out his secret.......he and Lois sleeping together in FOS?? etc.
Matt said:Sliders was pretty damn sweet.
Apparently vague history is sinonimous with make it up as you go along...so whether or not SR is is connected to the first 2 Reeve movies is up to individual interpretation.z21 said:Hey everyone.
