Kryptonite: Use It Or Lose It?

[dark_b]

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?

writte a story where you have people running ,and with cars driving out of metropolis. then you have a big battle in metroolis between superman and hte main villain. superman knows that noone is there so he can show for the first time how strong he is.
at the beginning of the movie you have superman and the main villain who wants to fight him. of course superman while trying to save all people that are in hte middle of all this doesnt have a chance. so he is defeated.

easie.

now if you are obssesed with donner than there is also an easie way. writte a story with zod and one small fight at the end of the movie. than at comic con when fans attack you that the fight wasnt big enough you say that people were in metropolis so they couldnt make a bigfight.
plus if you are a smart director you also mention that there wasnt enough money for a bigger fight,

its all easie. the only difference is that if he takes the second option he is an idiot. an idiot.


remember guys this is a movie. they writte whatever they want. if they writte a fight in the middle of hte city with all people then they cna not have a fight. but if they writte something else then they can.
of course if they dont want a fight then there will be no fight. but of course you will get 100 of reasons why there was no fight.

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


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

ok i never said this so this is the first tiem.
but this is how it is in hte comics. superman fights .
. thats the only reason why a studio even should give a director more then 150 milions.

Did you see the coverage of Hurricane Katrina? They had days to prepare and didn't get out. You're telling me a metropolitan city can be evacuated before an unannounced superfight begins?

The only other solution( to me ) is an external threat. Brainiac's ship is shooting giant laser beams into Metropolis. Superman is fighting Brainiac in space and/or on his ship. Supes is trying to stop the next cycle of laser attacks.

it was a quick idea. a good writter and 3 months can make it work.

Oh please, no one cares if there are people in the buildings! Those movies have a certain degree of disbelieve to them you just have to accept.

It's a friggin comic book movie!​

Take the Spidey movies for example:
In S-M2, he rips out a load of walls to stop the train, debris falling down the streets. Dock Ock makes his way through the city by climbing buildings and destroying them with his arms. Again, plastering the streets with debris. He also randomly throws cars around.
In S-M3, Sandman blasts away a couple of cops, surely crashing them into the concrete a few yards away.
A whole friggin tower floor gets destroyed by a crane and the only one in danger is Gwen, and she's saved.
Harry throws Peter through a random building, and they destroy alot of walls, again with debris falling down the streets.

There are lots of other examples too. Fact is: If it's written right, no one cares if there could be people in danger somewhere in the background. It's the main characters and the story that count.

Besides, woudln't Superman help with the rebuilding plus, it woudl make the fight that much interesting Superman has to stop the bad guy but, save the peopel as well.

 

[TheComicbookKid]

People were pointing to the Capt. Marvel and Sup fight from JLU. That fight destroyed entire blocks of buildings. Clearing one or two buildings would be good for me. I thought people wanted this huge epic battle throughout Metropolis, my bad.

 

[ThreeActRomance]

I think it was pretty damn cool to see Superman stabbed with Kryptonite, I thought it was fairly brutal the way that scene played out. As long as it is used creatively I think it is a must for any Superman movie.

not to mention getting shot in the FREAKING EYE.

honestly one day..i just want Supes to walk up to Random Gattling Gun Carrying Henchman # 4847874 and *****smack him and be like "IN FIFTY ****ING YEARS..HAS THE CONCEPT OF MAN OF STEEL NOT SUNK IN! GODDAMN!" and walk away

he's done that somewhat, by raising a brow/ smirking.

i loved that bullet in the eye scene. easily one of the best and most memorable scene in the whole movie.

I'm sick of WB period for not realizing that there's more to Superman than just Kryptonite, Lex Luthor, and saving planes.

And that there only seems to be the Donner universe, no, there is a comic there, now get a new villian, a new director who actually gets it, and make a revamp!

for the last time...

stop blaming donner universe!!!

if you don't find singer's SR exciting/enjoyable, it's all because of singer!!! don't look for excuses and blame the others!!!

 

[VenomsMom]

Superman's enemies should just make some Krytonite bullets and shoot him.

ya, since everybody knows it and can find it easily.
yo, more superman's ass kicking!!! singer should be very excited about it.

 

[afan]

Grrrrrrrrr......curse you "Smallville".

Green K doesn't work that way. It's one of the common misconceptions, but no less innacurate. Green K doesn't negate Superman's powers, it makes him too weak to use them actively, his invulnerability tho is a passive power, and still would protect him from harm.

 

[Angeloz]

Yet he got stabbed with the stuff. Though the real question is could or would the bullets disintegrate on impact because they have the wrong chemical make-up? Metal works but not everything does. "Mythbusters" found meat bullets wouldn't work and I forget about ice bullets.

Love "Mythbusters".

He got stabbed by it in SR, because the film like "Smallville" corrupts the mythos, which is totally acceptable when presented as an "Elseworlds" tale, but unacceptable when it is the result of a misunderstanding of the characters core.

 

[Angeloz]

He also got shot in the comics too I believe before "Smallville" ever did it.

Could be, but it still does not work that way.
Two, three or even several wrongs don't make a right.

He also got shot with a kryptonite bullet in an episode of Lois and Clark.

 

[Hypestyle]

we've already seen what green can do in the movies.. technically we've never seen any other colors used.. (in part 3, green K was laced with tar).. so, what do you think?

 

[Angeloz]

Pink kryptonite so he dates Batman.

Angeloz

 

[Showtime]

Ha HA

 

[matthooper]

Since Singer has no idea how green kryptonite works, I don't think we should give him any other ideas about other colors.

Maybe first, he should understand and handle green kryptonite correctly, then move on to screw up other colors.

 

[COMPO]

Why what did he do wong with green?

 

[hammy]
