I remember when i first signed up here 4 years ago, and the Batman/Superman movie was in active development, and actually seemed like it was gonna happen. there was talk of it going head to head with spider-man 2, and stuff like that. i remember being disappointed when colin farrell and jude law were supposedly cast as batman and superman. And then, that project fell through, and the script wasnt that good either.
Then, the J.J Abrhams draft came, and everyone was pissed at the changes made. The whole Ratner era of the project was interesting, mainly because they were getting it so wrong. and then he left, and after seeing x3, im glad that bullet was dodged.
I remember 2003-2004 here, when everyone was capaigning for their own actor as superman, with the caviezel fans, the welling fans, the bailey boosters, the bomer fans, and cavill fans. The whole thing was kinda funny, because you knew none of those guys would actually be superman.
And then, Routh was cast, and the caviezel and welling fans whined like babies. you had idiots like muscles and timstuff coming through, the latter claiming singer was selfish for not casting welling. lmao. In that time, all the old, mature posters left and the board became a graveyard.
The suit came out, and it looked bad in that first photo. i remember everyone was pissed, posting up bad manips of a more comic like suit.
I must say, the SR board was a sad experience. It's shown what happens when fanboys dont get their way. They whine, and the say its not superman when it's just not the supeman they wanted. You have people who seek attention by saying negative things about the movie on purpose, people with a vendetta against the movie, and few with a good case for why they think the movie will be bad. Why do you think everyone bashes people like thunder emperor, Desk, and matt, but not guys like saint? Anyone who's been here awhile knows why. It only comforts me that SR is getting good reviews, and few bad ones.
