Kryptonite: Use It Or Lose It?

[Showtime]

Magic, red sun radiation, another Kryptonian, can't hold his breath forever, a mullet.......

If the mullett didn't harm him, it sure harmed me.

 

[C. Lee]

If the mullett didn't harm him

Maybe not physicaly.....but it caused him damage none the less.

That and Red and Blue Superman really set him back.

 

[C. Lee]

That and Red and Blue Superman really set him back.

Thankfully I never read any of those books....just saw pics and the toys.

 

[Showtime]

I suffered through it, oh did I suffer.

 

[C. Lee]

We all suffer through some horrors when we are fans of some character....whether it be comic or otherwise.

I'm still waiting for a decent Doc Savage movie.

 

[Showtime]

You should write it yourself man, look at Rowling.

 

[C. Lee]

I've wrote and drawn my own Doc stories over the years.....producing a movie is another matter though.

 

[Showtime]

Wow. That's great. Did you do a feature length script or short stories?

 

[C. Lee]

Only short stories and a few comic books of my own....but I don't have any of them anymore.

 

[C. Lee]

Here's a drawing I was working on recently....

 

[Showtime]

Wow. That is really good man. I didn't realize you were an artist? Impressive.

 

[C. Lee]

Thank you.

I can't do as much now due to my arthritis....but I work on things now and then.

you rock, C. Lee

awesome job

 

[Showtime]

Thank you.

Do you have your own Doc Savage thread? You should make one to feature your art.

 

[C. Lee]

Thanks....I try.

 

[C. Lee]

Do you have your own Doc Savage thread? You should make one to feature your art.

Nope.....but I might have to think about it.

 

[mego joe]

Actually there is, magic being one of them.

Agreed. Additionally, I think just giving him situations that cause him to use his brain instead of his brawn in finding solutions works well in the comics. Using Kryptonite is soley about his strength and other super powers. Also, giving him challenges that are rooted in his caring for others where he has to make choices are good ideas as well.

Kryptonite may be one of he few things that can physically hurt him, but he is also vulnerable b/c of his compassion.

I agree that it's getting old, but what else could they use?

 

[Captain Clown]

I agree that it's getting old, but what else could they use?

A super villain?

 

[StylishHokie21]

A super villain?

Very funny! Your name suits you well.

 

[Redwoods Wolf]

I agree that it's getting old, but what else could they use?

Red sun lamps, as Justice Lord Batman did in "A Better World," or Russkie Bats did in "Red Son."

LOL!

gawd i hated that mullet

also, i think Parasite is a pretty nasty villain against Supes. him or Amazo.

 

[Eternalzero]

Is anyone else sick of kryptonite constantly being used to weaken Superman? How come every villain in the movie finds this green rare rock that Superman is allergic too? It's just overused and getting old. I think it's been used in the five past Superman movies (maybe not in Superman 2? - which is probably why the second one is the best one). The idea of using kryptonite in a Superman movie is very campy and cheesy as well. It's just too easy and silly to have in the movie. Give Superman a new challenge already!

This is why we we need a superpowered villain. If the Superman Returns sequel uses Luthor, Brainiac, or Metallo, there's a good chance they are going to be using kryptonite against Supes.

ummm..........superman?


really, if it were battle of the titans it would be a live action DBZ movie. There lies the problem w/ superman.

 

[TheComicbookKid]

Kids like DBZ.

The problem for me is the destruction aspect of Metropolis. You can't have entire buildings falling down with people inside. It would make Superman look like he's killing innocent people for fighting in the city. But you also need people in jeopardy to signify the villain as a threat.

How do you find a balance?
