The Daily Planet - Superman News and Speculation Thread (🚨TAG SPOILERS🚨)

[Chip Chipperson]

I think the Harry Lennix reciting the TDKR speech to the BvS logo reveal was the most hyped **** I had ever seen. Then the title happened and Ben Affleck's casting and dumbass ski accident delayed production. Then Ben was terrified it would suck so he got Chris Terrio to polish the turd.

It got so bad that I actually was curious to see what Goyer’s BvS script looked like

Good lord those were dark times

That had to have leaked online by now.

 

[The Batman]

So who's going to marathon the Donner films, Returns, and Man of Steel before this one? I refuse to include BvS and JL for moral reasons.

If I bother to watch anything, it'll be some Fleischer, some "Adventures of Superman", Superman: The Movie & Superman 2, The Darkseid episodes of STAS, that one flashback episode of S&L, and a few episodes of MAWS.

This gave me chills (potential spoilers)

Spoiler

Are they fighting in a baseball stadium or is the production using the stadium as a backdrop to digitally insert a background later?

They decorated the stadium with Metropolis signs so most likely they're there

 

[Alien Anal]

Just how big are the new spoilers that have recently come out?

Smallville was originally supposed to be a Young Bruce Wayne show, and then we would get several seasons of Gotham later on. So everything eventually comes full circle.

[Silvermoth]

Imagine if they made Smallville today? I reckon it would still take off

 

[Kane52630]

If it was made today you'd get some 1-minute animation for the intro with a theme song that isn't a banger single from a rando band.

With some twink instead of jock as Clark.

This does bring a smile to my face. Cape flapping all around!

 

[Babillygunn]

Smallville does have a nostalgic place in my heart simply because, after watching later seasons of Lois and Clark together while we were dating in college, my wife and I were starved for live action Superman content when first married. We were quite poor, paying off school debt and didn’t have cable tv for several years, relying on rabbit ears for entertainment. But we had a friend who would tape Smallville on VHS and give it to us a few days later and we’d watch it together. We both knew it was a bad show, but it was our show (along with reruns of Bonanza.)

That said, we bailed in the later seasons The Doomsday stuff was just next level bad.

I’m planning to get pumped for this with re-reads of my personal all-time Superman favorites:

Not a ring but how about a charming Kryptonite charm from Pandora.

My BFF bought be a moldavite necklace for my 15th birthday. (Moldavite is a greenish peice of meteor from outer space.)

Needless to say, we are still friends
