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

[Deck Rickard]

Oh like The Flash.

Exactly the kind of movie we need right now.

 

[flickchick85]

Please. The real time to start panicking is when we hear that the movie was screened for a bunch of studio executives and they gave it a 10-minute standing ovation.

Followed by a report that Tom Cruise loved it.

Henceforth known as DEFCON 1.

 

[Sawyer]

How long before we get news of reshoots and some of y’all here panic?

We panic every other week around here, you bald bastah. Reshoots will just be another day at the office.

David's nonexistent eyebrows were the talk of the town for over 2 months.

 

[Babillygunn]

Feels potentially significant when half the team is in this movie.

I LOVE this comic run. If you all haven’t read it, you should.
Jeff Lemire and Gene Luen Yang totally nailed it. So much fun.

 

[Babillygunn]

I think they'll become The Terrifics after the presumed corporate backing situation gets dismantled in this film.

Actually, in the comics, they were kind of beholden to Simon Stagg because in the story, he had stolen Terrifictech from Michael Holt, so their headquarters was out of Stagg Industries.

Interesting. They shot a scene in what's meant to be Stagg Industries so that could be the route. Lord is also in it so their could be a little Luthor/Stagg/Lord thing going on.

 

[flickchick85]

Surprised we haven’t heard of any casting for Simon Stagg tbh.

 

[Babillygunn]

It’s funny, but when I read Simon Stagg, his voice in my head sounds a lot like Gary Busey.

A big part of Metamorpho’s story in the comics revolves around his love of Stagg’s daughter, Sapphire. So I’d assume Stagg will have a place in the film.

Stephen Blackeart?

He was in Cleveland when they shot the Stagg Enterprises scene.

Maybe!

 

[SupermansPal]

I'm still struggling with the fact that we'll most likely have nothing new until next year

It’ll be here before we know it. It’s already August!

I’m betting on Brazil!

Doesn’t he seem a bit young?

Woohoo, Brazil mentioned!!!

 

[Deck Rickard]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet but congratulations to Henry Cavill for finally being in a hit movie!

S&L will keep us fed in October/Nov at least!

I can't wait for this film to shock most of the doubters. I say most, because we know a certain section was gonna hate it regardless.

I can’t wait for their “reviews” to start trickling in before the movie has even been screened for critics.

 

[hopefuldreamer]

I had a day dream this morning while walking to the bus, of me walking out of the cinema in hysterical tears of joy because it was a great film with some purely joyful Superman moments in it.

Could be a premonition... could be a sign I've completely failed at keeping my expectations reasonable this time. Or maybe that's not even that high an expectation, the bars just much lower now... Who knows

Manifest it! Hopefully it will come true.
