Just because they want to go for a more intimate sequel doesnt mean they should reduce spectacle.I mean the Spectacle was HUGE part of the appeal to the GA to lose it would be very foolish.It can be intimte and specataucar
I do not think Lex/Metallo or Lex/Parasite will give enough spectacle for a Superman movie.Spiderman/Ironman maybe but not Supes.
I perfer giving Lex an Army.Maybe give him the Anti-Superman Army as his goons.You can have Parsite/Metallo be a part of that army if you like.
I love the notion of Darkseid and Apokolips, but to me that's best reserved for a Justice League movie. What would the justice league battle that's much bigger a villain than Darkseid?
Metallo would be the perfect physical nemesis (though obviously with Lex also involved as the brains of the operation).
Metallo could represent someone who's losing more of their humanity every day - both mentally, and also in terms of physical changes - and succumbing to whatever rage and anger drives them.
Whereas Superman represents the polar opposite of that; someone who's losing his initial anger and frustration from not knowing who he was pre-MOS, to gaining more and more humanity every day as the people of Earth accept him.
But again, another issue might be that the film would come off as too political and would feel like a Jack Ryan thriller than a Superman flick.
I personally like the idea that someone put forward on a MOS review podcast of it being President Luthor/ Candidate Luthor and Metallo vs Superman. I think in the MOS universe that would be the next logical step given the way MOS ended.
The only problem I would have with that is that it would tend to pull the story further away from Metropolis and it would probably force the story be focused in D.C. . I'd want the next film to really focus on Metropolis as the center of Clark's new life as opposed to pulling him away to D.C. and potentially other parts of the world. That said, there's alot you could do with President Luthor with Metallo being a military creation along with Lois and Clark's investigative reporting of the Administration.

Man of Steel does have a global scale so making Luther a President or running for office wouldn't feel out of place to me in the sequel. I think it's a good idea.

Kryptonite or no Kryptonite?
Yeah I'd have Kryptonite in the sequel, if there is I'm almost certain Mettallo will be teaming up with Lex. Although I bet he's only ever called John Corben never Mettallo.
You're probably right now that I think about it. lol
Kryptonite or no Kryptonite?
Theres nothing spoectacular about a wekaned superman fighting.Its weak superman.
To explain the Anti-superman army is not exactly an Army-In the comics its a sqaud of Supermans modt dangerous earth villains-Parasite,Metallo,Kryptonite. etcBasically Supermans version of the Sinister six
And how is weak Superman not spectacular? How is a man, used to titanic power and super senses, being temporarily brought down to mortal levels by a super powered enemies, and being forced to come up with an intelligent solution to a problem--how is that anything short of miraculous? Spectacle comes in many different forms. You can only end so many fights with a punch through the moon. Sometimes, an intellectual solution can be even more mind-blowingly awesome than just a lot of fights.
Absolutely NO KRYPTONITE
I would be 100% happy if Kryptonite NEVER exists in this DCU. I absolutely can't stand story-lines that rely on Kryptonite. Biggest cop-out plot device ever created. I hate it.
Which I'm fine with I always thought Mettallo as a name was pretty goofy lol plus there's something cool about Superman calling him Corben.
Oh and I really hope we see Superman stop a train or something in the next one, maybe just do some super saves from a disaster of some kind or something.
