Siegel & Shuster vs WB: Superman and Infinite Crisis

[Super Kal]

he probably wants the sequel to be a vague sequel from Superman Returns...

 

[Brainiac 2009]

Yeah I agree especially the person who posted this pic.

It was amusing how you immediately took offense by it, clear admission of your belief that it was representing you.

No need to get defensive about your inadequacy though, your best buddy Lexlives still loves you.

 

[explode7]

How pathetic.

 

[Showtime]

I was already excited about a sequel and with these two little bits of information I am happy the sequel seems to be taking this direction.

Here are a few of the things I need to get me interested in this second film:

It's a well known here that I want the costume fixed .. so, that's Line item 0001

Line item 0002: Returns was a dark and dismal film. The follow up needs to be brighter and more upbeat.

Line item 0003: Lex needs to move toward Corporate Shark Lex and be thought of as some kind of hero by Metropolis ... therebye setting up an interesting obstacle for Superman in his dealings with him

Line item 0004: Something has to be done about the Kid. In some nice way, that subplot has to be resolved with the kid being written out without creating unbelievable reactions from the characters around him.

Line item 0005: Jimmy needs to become 'Mr. Action' and not 'Suzy Homemaker'. The Man Crush thing has to go away.

Line item 0006: Perry. Please instruct Frank that Perry is a bear and not a pussycat. Even Jackie Cooper's Perry had a more aggressive approach.

^ If the sequel is that I may convinced to get it on DVD if not I'll wait for it to hit cable.

Skimmed through some of the responses. It's true that it was I who assumed "new house" as being Lex in the white house which meant Lex for President. However the white house was never specifically stated so I suppose it could have another meaning. To me it seems an obvious clue though. Lex leaves an island for a new house... What else could it mean but white house? C'mon. I suppose he could gain power specifically in Metropolis as a senator or something. I personally just want Lexcorp in full effect, but if it takes Lex as President to present him as a more intelligent manipulator I'll accept it.

So basically, you just want a different film?

double post

But well worth it.

 

[Super Kal]

you like to get him riled, dont you Pickle?...

I also like late night walks.

so do I.

That would be nice.

 

[lexlives]

That would be nice.

As in re-boot. WB needs to put it off a decade and start over. SR is fatally flawed and any sequel is, IMO, DOA.

 

[Pickle-El]

No, it isn't. IMO.

 

[The Overlord]

I don't think a reboot is needed, but a radical new direction for the sequel is. I rather wouldn't want to waste time on yet another retelling of superman's origin.

1 thing I truly want to see is something that was not even in the Christopher Reeve films: Lex meeting Clark Kent. I so see this version of Lex knowing and hating Superman so much that he can see right through the disguise. Have them meet earlier as Lex is hitting up The Daily Planet on a press tour or something. He looks at Clark and eyes him. Clark is unsettled by this. Have him go up to Clark later on as he sits on his desk. Have Lex lean in close and whisper:

"Hello Superman"

That's definately a threat to Superman and anybody he knows, but it would also mean Lex is gone for future sequels, since he does know. Unless Superman turns back the earth or gives him an amnesia kiss.

Interesting I just made a post yesterday in the main forum that I want to see Clark and Lex on screen together. I don't want him to know his identity though.

 

[Showtime]

I think it would be a great idea if Clark interviewed him...that would be a nice sequence.

[OzzMosiz]

Please please please. Do not have Lex as president. Its too moronic and treats the viewers as idiots.

 

[echostation]

dead on arrival you sethu

 

[TripXyDE]

Yeah right, Lex goes from ****** to genius from one to the next movie. Very believeable!

What's next? Superman acting like an adult? Bosworth acting like Lois? The stupidity in the story replaced with logic?

Newsflash >>> TOO LATE FOR THAT!

They have to continue with the universe set up in the first movie. Otherwise they loose the people who liked the first one and have to establish a new fanbase, again. They might as well just restart the damn thing!

HAHAHAHAHAHA!
SO TRUE!

SR's Lex was close to the 1980's Superfriends' Lex
ridiculous to jump from THAT version to the one close to the STAS version
AND they have to fix the massive outcry against kate bosworth as lois
AND, of course, the KID

the way i see it, it's either go with Singer's EGO or save the franchise w/ a new director, & a fresh approach

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Thanks for the info Jcdc, it all sounds good and i'm looking forward to this sequel more and more.

I dont think Lex will be president in this movie, but he will make inroads towards that and possibly be there in the 3rd movie.

And everything is pointing towards Brainiac as well, i hope they with the Justice League cartoon robot version rather than the human looking green robot version though!
