Kryptonite: Use It Or Lose It?

[That'ssuper!]

Red was used by Darkseid in S:TAS to make him betray humanity. Why not use something like that?

 

[DavidTyler]

How about flannel kryptonite which would make him want to listen only to Pearl Jam and Nirvana?

How about Lemon scented Yellow kryptonite to help him remove soap scum?

And what Kryptonite arsenal would be complete without Deep Woods Kryptonite for that great outdoors smell indoors.

 

[Weadazoid]

In the comics didn't clear or ...yellow Kryptonite have use vs the Horrible cave dwelling looking monstrosities that actually had Superman pretty much liked.

Basically it took awya there powers. They were big an ugly two of them they had white fur I think... I think. They pretty much kicked Supermans but before someone whipped out the other colored Kryptonite.

Kryptonite? Should it be used in a sequel or reboot? What other methods are there to take down Superman?

 

[Matt]

Its not Kryptonite that is the problem. It is the way you use Kryptonite. We don't need to see Lex use Kryptonite to disable Superman so he can go on with his nefarious scheme. What we need is a creative usage of it. Like Metallo.

Well you could introduce a villian on a similair level to Supes physically but in a reboot kryptonite will eventually have to make it's introduction. And I would hate to see all the diffrent coloured kryptonite on film, I have had enough of those on smallville I dont want them in a Superman film. Just have standard kryptonite and move on from that.

I liked the stabbing of krytonite. But i hope they don't use it in the next movie. Its over done.

We could always give Batman sufficient prep time.

 

[Timstuff]

I say, use Metallo because then you can have Kryptonite while still having a super villain.

 

[VenomsMom]

I dont think you should lose it altogether but it should not play as prominent as a role as it did in SR. For cryin out loud it should have been put in the credits for a supporting role.

Or they could just take it seriously. I find it kind of funny that out of every incarnation of Superman in film or TV, the one that used kryptonite the best way was Lois & Clark. Not only did it nearly kill him, but it also weakened him severely afterwards. You actually felt like the stuff was lethal to Superman, instead of just making him lie down and grunt.

 

[M.O.Steel]

i thought they started out doing a good job with it in smallville.

i say keep it, and use it as a weapon. pistol, missles, cyborgs, whatever.

i think a small piece like a bullet to the heart is more powerful than creating a giant land mass made of kryptonite. the scene where he got stabbed with it was so well done, the rest was terrible tho.

 

[Ultraman Nexus]

Lose it. No K variants either.

There needs to be something more special to see on the big screen than just Superman writhing on the ground while a bald guy in a business suit holds a rock over him. The variants would only get you a more sensical and slightly more interesting version of the Superman III scenario.

Don't get me wrong, I don't even mind Kryptonite as an idea but especially coming off of both SR and Smallville, the K rock needs a rest. Big time.

 

[Superwoman Prime]

^ I agree.

 

[afan]

ditto.

 

[GreenKToo]

It would be kinda hard to not have ''K'' in it, just like it would be hard to not have Luthor.
However, I do think its use should be kept to a minimum. Maybe just mention it or something but not have it as the main means to defeat Superman.

Honestly, Luthor needs a rest about as much as the Krytonite does. I know Luthor is his main villain and everything, I even like Luthor but in the context of Superman movies that's the only guy besides Zod he ever gets to go against. So for movie audiences it's been a bald guy in a business suit and a guy with power that are exactly like Supermans. They're needs to be some changing up here.

Unless you want to count the oh-so awesome Ross the Boss or Nuclear Man.

 

[GreenKToo]

I'd like to see Luthor, just not as the main villain. That should belong to Brainiac. Imagine Superman and Brainiac slugging it out on the streets of Metropolis and Luthor watching from above in Lex-Corp tower, smirking.

 

[Superwoman Prime]

Or Darkseid. The plot of the film could be that Darkseid is bent on making earth a "planet in his own image."

 

[GreenKToo]

As long as its not Zod or nuclear man, i'm good.
Brainiac, Darkseid, Doomsday, etc, thats the ticket.

 

[Superwoman Prime]

Exactly.

I heard a rumor that Singer wanted to bring Zod in for the SR sequel.

 

[GreenKToo]

Exactly.

I heard a rumor that Singer wanted to bring Zod in for the SR sequel.

The writers (D & H) pitched Darkseid for the sequel but wb didnt go for it. At least thats what I heard anyway.

 

[SuperDaniel]

Use it. Just as long as it not to create a continent or something as stupid as that.

 

[Timstuff]

Exactly.

I heard a rumor that Singer wanted to bring Zod in for the SR sequel.

More proof that Singer didn't know what the crap he was doing unless he saw it in one of the Donner films.

 

[The Guard]

Use it, but use it as more than a rock that weakens/changes Superman. More needs to be explored about Kryptonite's relevance. The Green Death and whatnot.
