Superman Returns Singer mentioned that this would vaguely tie in with Smallville, how so???

[Kane]

The continuity on SR is that the Reeve suit precedes the Routh suit, as it is in vague history of the previous two films.

That could be wrong. We wont know till the film.

The SR suit was seen in the Daily Planet newspaper article from 2000 depicting Superman's disapearance from Earth.

Its possibly Routh's Superman wore that suit during his whole career as Superman.

 

[Super_Ludacris]

I totally understand your point but that's not really happening. In the course of a year (actually less; we still have 4 eppies left) we have had: a FOS that resembles the STM and SRs (from what we've seen so far), Pa Kent croaking while Clark was a teen, via heart failure; a Clark that made a diamond out of coal, a phantom zone that has the same look as the movies.

There's a several other similarities that I've noticed between the movies and the show but I've been studying all day and I'm beat. Those were the major ones though!

Yeah but those are all basic things that need to be Superman stories. Plus they have simply ripped off those things and put there own perspective. What I'm saying in terms of continuity they are seperate and because of that, each has the freedom to do things differently.

 

[GreenKToo]

True.maybe he had a big fight or something,between S II and SR that damaged his suit,and he had to replace it.thats the best explaination that I can come up with.I mean if it ties in with donners version,it would be hard to just ignore the original suit. >

Sometimes it's ok, to change things slightly in continuity. First thing about the movies is having suspended disbelief so its not a big deal.

 

[GreenKToo]

ya,its not a big deal to me,as long as we get a great movie.

 

[Showtime]

They don't have to explain the suit at all in regards to it being different than the Reeve Suti. Comic artists tweak the suit all the time and don't give it any kind of explanation. We're not talking a change like Red or Blue Superman.

Remember on Smallville when Clark sees his Dad's past, finding out that the Kents were 'chosen' by Jor-El to raise his son. I have a sneeky feeling that might be the 'tie in' between Smallville and Superman Returns - the Kents being 'chosen'.

Hmm...maybe.

no. Brando's Jorel wasnt on Earth in the 60s having sex with women

 

[Super_Ludacris]

I suspect that the tie in is that they are both focused on a kid named Clark Kent...spoiler alert, you heard it here first.

 

[SuperDaniel]

no. Brando's Jorel wasnt on Earth in the 60s having sex with women

OWNED!! Dont even remeber me of that terrible episode...

 

[Super_Ludacris]

He should have though. Brando's Jor-el was gonna be a fat-ass getting some cut-up would have burned some calories.

 

[Kane]

If he wasnt getting tail, Kalel wouldnt have recently been born...

 

[Rijowhi]

no. Brando's Jorel wasnt on Earth in the 60s having sex with women

Damn I forgot about that...I wasn't thinking the whole thing though - just the 'chosen' bit. In other words much more classy.

SpiderDaniel you are correct about it being terrible, but then again most of Smallville past series 2 has been...

 

[SuperDaniel]

And even i don`t like that the kents are chosen. I like the fact it is out of luck. Or fate maybe...

 

[Super_Ludacris]

Smallville's a great teen show. lol@ you all acting like its some real faithful comic book ****.

 

[Kane]

lol @ Ludacris trying to convince everyone that Smallville is the sh^t.

Are you sure wb isnt paying you?

 

[Super_Ludacris]

But lol@ you dudes taking that **** seriously. How you still gonna complain about something that set it's agenda in season 1. You the type of dudes that actually would complain about Batman '66 not following a dark potrayl of Batman. We all knew back in 2000 that it was gonna be the next "teen" show from the WB manufacturing factory. It's just that it's a little better than that. But it aint never gonna be what people think it is.

 

[KalKai]

Its like saying the Adam West Batman series will always be better than Batman Begins because they had so many episodes and BB was 2 hours

That was in 1966, so of course not. Nobody's is going to watch a 1966 Batman series instead of BB.

BB is a great film, but it gets boring quickly, and SR isn't exactly offering anything new, it's the same old story.

If anything it gets better as it goes along, and it gets better with more viewings

 

[KalKai]

lol how many times can you watch it? everything gets boring, no matter what film it is.

 

[Super_Ludacris]

Not if its a classic to its genre. In this genre of superhero/comic books Batman Begins has got high replay value.

Ya but how many times have I said I dont take it seriously and just laugh along at it. Its obviously too late in the shows life to radically change, so Im just regarding it for what it is..

That's not true. I know quite a few people who are huge fans of the '66 Batman and are in love with Wertham era Batman.

 

[Super_Ludacris]

So why complain about it? Not you but the other dudes. And suprise shock, yet in still its a very good even with the liberties.
