Siegel & Shuster vs WB: Superman and Infinite Crisis

[Brainiac 2009]

dammit .. and i wanted darkseid with a brainiac cliffhanger...

You may get Brainiac with a Darkseid lead-in to the third one, who knows.

 

[The Batman]

wow.

After whining a *****ing about getting coporate lex and a villain, it seems we're getting those things....and some of you still find reason to whine and complain.

 

[Brainiac 2009]

well i am not a smart guy and i dont know how those reporters work. but isnt lois a good reporter? are you now gonna tell me that a good reporter would writte an article that she was on lex's yacht and that he was the one who created this island? and people would belive this? i thought that reporters are working with facts and need to have something to back up.

as i saw lex in sr did nothing in public to go to jail. so he is a free man. and that is what i like. lex can say when he comes back to metropolis f... you superman.

We dont even know if she wrote an article about the experience, they could easily write that she didnt.

One important fact is Lex knows that Jason is Superman's son, a dangerous fact that could put Jason in danger if he reveals it. Her and Richard may have known from the start and kept it a secret to protect him. It may be understandable why she wouldnt want to expose Lex under these circumtances, especially if he becomes a public figure who could easily reveal this truth.


As far as the New Krypton incident, upon investigation it was Kryptonian technology that did the damage; Superman's Kryptonian technology. It does look pretty convincing that this could have been Superman's fault if Lex manipulates it that way to the public.

If this is the case, I'm hoping they name the sequel Superman: Man of Tomorrow (so "Man of Tomorrow" could refer to Supes or Lex)

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.

Case you can't tell I am not a fan of Singer, SR, WB, Routh or Bosworth and absolutely hope this potential sequel never sees the light of day.

Just being upfront as you are new to posting here.

Couple of things:

1) JCDS is not a "new" poster here, look at his post count.,
2) Nothing Singer can do is good for you, so you're opinion is pretty much moot. If Singer listens to the fans, then he's acknowledging SR's alleged failure???? How can he win? You just want him to fail, basically. If Singer reconstructs a new version, it's because he wanted to do that version now, to push it further, incorporate new elements -- this is by no means an anckowledgement of failure. Just changing the area.
3) Other than, "he won't" you provide NO PROOF WHATSOEVER that Singer or WB are in any of the positions, considerations, or situations you spout about them being in. Youre "HMO" can either be educated, or uneducated...in this case, your opinion is woefully uneducated and based more on personal agendas and bias, then reality and level-headedness.

You understand that you are a laughing joke on these boards? You're blind fanatacism to some idealistic, non-existent version of Superman makes most people groan. Step back and look how people respond to you, outside of the other one or two fanatics here. And don't jump on the "Singer-lover" bandwagon. Posters on here have seen me critic many of Singer's decisions in this film. I'm not even calling you an SR-hater, I think it goes beyond that...you're just a hater in general, someone who's going to troll these boards showing an unreasonable, unsatiable amount of self-assigned arrogance and conciet over the property of Superman and tries to hide it as much by pretending that your knowledge of all things Super and Future are somehow divined from some intellectual experience that we are not privy to...it's a load of bull**** and its just wearisome.

This is why you got banned from Bluetights. Not because you hated SR, but because you were so unreasonable in your hatred of it.

LOL SR did well in the HV market, The WB is really pleased, Singer signed the deal, the writers are writing the script and the fans are debating about the sequel. Only LexLives thinks that there will not be a sequel.
It's not a novelty, rtalking about SR he wrote "the movie has yet to be greenlited" in May 2005. t:

 

[Ita-KalEl]

Thank you \S/JcDc\S/, great thread
It sounds great.

 

[GreenKToo]

^ ha, you are correct Ita. A few months ago I wrote my personal idea, and wish for the sequel. I had brainiac as the main villain, and Lex blaming supes for N.K., and Lex running for president. I never NEVER in my wildest dreams thought singer would go that route. I'll be happy as punch if it turns out correct even if it is a coincidence.

 

[Super Kal]

I don't think he is going to be president, like everyone thinks... I believe that Lex instead will become the multimillionaire business Lex, because even though it's Business Lex, you can still have a large control of politics through an enormous technologically advanced business like LexCorp... ESPECIALLY after he tricks Brainiac into giving him while he wants and them backstabbing Brainiac by helping Superman destroy his only technological competition...

of course, these are all just thoughts...

 

[GreenKToo]

He has been here a looong time, and I would trust his info before just about anyone else's here. If he's wrong, its his source that was incorrect, not him.

 

[Showtime]

Whether it's President, Senator, Mayor, or Business Tycoon, this is the right direction to go. I was hoping that Superman would be faced with a Lex high up in public office upon his return...in Returns.

Bringing in Brainiac also sets up a showdowns with Superman and Lex. This is very good news.

 

[Brainiac 2009]

second of all, I don't think he is going to be president, like everyone thinks... I believe that Lex instead will become the multimillionaire business Lex, because even though it's Business Lex, you can still have a large control of politics through an enormous technologically advanced business like LexCorp... ESPECIALLY after he tricks Brainiac into giving him while he wants and them backstabbing Brainiac by helping Superman destroy his only technological competition...

of course, these are all just thoughts...

I agree

Lets call him "Corperate Lex" instead, seems more fitting.

The president thing seems unlikely. I wasnt a fan of it in the comics either and I'm glad the JLU guys avoiding him actually becoming president.

But I'd be down with "Corperate Lex"

 

[GreenKToo]

I think maybe senator, or even mayor of metropolis would suffice.

 

[Showtime]

I had a little treatment of a Batman vs Superman script and in it Lex was running for mayor. It could work, but I like coporate Lex better.

 

[Super Kal]

if this is true, I'm very glad that they're going this route... I'm starting to feel better about the sequel.

 

[Showtime]

It was a given on Brainiac from the get go, this is not a suprise, but I am happy that we are going to get Coporate Lex. This is just another example of Returns being the funeral for Donner's Universe.

 

[GreenKToo]

Politics is a shrewd game, a senator for example has more power than a corporate head, even though the actual job title itself pays less. The fringe benefits more than make up for it. EDIT: the part about Lex being in a new house just screams president to me, I dont see anyway around it.

 

[Showtime]

I agree, that tidbit seems to point to Lex becoming President, or it could mean living on the top floor of Luthor Corp. I hope it doesn't mean the sewer penthouse again.

 

[GreenKToo]

haha, me either. that would suck big time.

 

[Brainiac 2009]

I agree, that tidbit seems to point to Lex becoming President, or it could mean living on the top floor of Luthor Corp. I hope it doesn't mean the sewer penthouse again.

It technically wouldnt be a "new house" if it was his old sewer penthouse again.

 

[Showtime]

If you want to get technical, it's a different home than the Vanderworth Mansion, so it could be considered new. I was refering to a new sewer hideout anyway, not the former.

 

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

not to sure if he can jump that quickly..but with the money from that old lady..he has the money to run for president..

interesting this is.

 

[Brainiac 2009]

Its probably just Lex moving into the Fortress with Superman as his landlord.

Hilarity ensues.

 

[Showtime]

Sounds like the Batman television show...

 

[Hunter Rider]

President Lex would be great to see
