Siegel & Shuster vs WB: Superman and Infinite Crisis

[GreenKToo]

ya, it would be awesome. Lex would finally get the treatment he deserves on the big screen.

yet the fans will cry and say that superman is still moaping over lois the suit isn't right..Brandon isn't big enough..

 

[GreenKToo]

ya know, I find it amazing that some fans who were comlaining about not getting a proper C.B. version of supes, are now complaining that the sequel will stray to far away from S.R... I dont get it. anyway, i'll be extremely happy if this turns out correct.

I haven't seen that yet...

 

[X Knight]

hmm....sounds interesting.....but I don't think they'll do President Lex....probably just corporate Lex.......and Braniac.......

It's already started Kak...right in this thread.

well, Buggs has always been a extreme supporter of the comic book and Donner vision... my guess is that he never did like the President Lex, as some other people don't either... he's not complaining about it not being SR-esque, he just doesn't like President Lex... and I don't either.

 

[Showtime]

Disagree, This would be a total 180 from the Donner/SR Lex. I just don't beleive Singer is going to make any serious changes short of more action. Unless WB is leaning on him. The fans - he apparently could give a fig about any of their wishes.

If Singer wanted a corporate Lex he would have done it in the first film - no need for another convoluted story of from here to there as we got in SR.

KAK..

 

[Showtime]

The interesting thing was that if this were true it would be a defacto acknowledgement of sorts that SR did not work. Taking Lex where you rumor is a total abandoment of SR's Lex. An admission it did not work. Don't think Singer and company have it in them to be so forthcoming. JMHO.

The only way they would budge is if WB stepped in and forced it - something WB should have done in April of 2005.

Kak...

I'm not saying start him out immediately as corporate Lex, gradually bring him into it... people change their minds all the time...

 

[Showtime]

Another example of complaining about the new direction of Lex, you are saying you haven't seen it...it's there.

 

[Super Kal]

[Showtime]

That's Lexlives..not Buggs.

 

[Super Kal]

That's Lexlives..not Buggs.

oh yeah... well my point still stands...

LexLives has NEVER supported SR in the least, so I expect that from him...


and who's to say Luthor can't change his mind on how he wants to control the world? I think introducing him in the business side of the world is perfect, since he will now have the money to fund his schemes, but I don't see him being in the business in this particular sequel... my guess is that they going to build Lex up on this sequel and then in the third film, we then see him as the Corporate Lex.

That is the point...people that complained about SR, but do not like a new direction for the characters.

People who complain...just to complain.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I wonder if they might give Lex an armoured chopper that fires kryptonite missiles in this one

 

[Brainiac 2009]

That'd be cool but after Superman pwnd a Kryptonite continent.... I think Kryptonite would be pretty redundant as a plot device again.

Gosh I hope not...

 

[Hunter Rider]

Gosh I hope not...

Don't be Hatin'

 

[Matt]

Can Lex be president? Doesn't he have a record in the continuity. I'm pretty sure convicted felons can not be president.

 

[ervann]

I wonder if the sequel will be more 'stand-alone' (with hints of a 2nd sequel) or will it be a direct lead-in to the 3rd movie i.e. "To be Continued..."

Although WB probably won't have the balls to commit to a 3rd movie without seeing how the sequel performs.

 

[dark_b]

why do i have a feeling that singer is now reading this and will change it only because lot of you like it hehehe.

 

[DavidTyler]

I don't mind the President angle from the comics but I don't see how the current run of the franchise can move Lex from weasely criminal mastermind to President that quickly. He'd have to become Corporate Lex first.

But then, that's expecting the writers on the sequel to actually take any of that into account. There was a lot of convenient writing in SR and I'm willing to bet that there will be a lot more in the sequel.

In any case, I'll be watching the boards here for any developments before I decide whether to even see the sequel.

What actually has me just as concerned is the comment about a villain 'smarter' than Lex who could be the mastermind behind some major plot. If it is Brainiac, what exactly does that say for the way he'll be handled?

I'm guessing that it doesn't mean cold, calculating computer entity from space. It could but it doesn't sound it to me. Perhaps more like the Milton Fine Brainiac possessed version?

 

[Super Kal]

either way, I'm glad they're considering Brainiac.
