The Sage said:I'd use the concept the same way the old Bond franchise did in the sense that the story would just be another chapter and that it isn't required for you to see the other movies. Sort of like Goldeneye.
wait, I misread. I'm not a bond fan so I don't know much about his movies. I guess he's a very episodic character rather than continuous. I never understand why some want the continuity to be messy and confusing. Well supes as an episodic character can be done, I guess, like on his tv show from the 50s (I assume there wasn't a continuity beyond the origin episodes.) and of course the super friends. My issue with that would be how much of it can appear to be a sequel to a previous film and how much will simply be a new episode in his new adventure.
Like take begins for example. After seeing it, I tried to find ways it could really be a prequel to 89 you know... but it didn't work. It really just isn't.
Now what would happen if every supes movie singer makes is a vague sequel that only uses bits and parts of the movie it's playing as a sequel to. Same actors and all, but suddenly crazy stuff is introduced that just comes out of no where. This, to me would be confusing. Judging by x2, singer won't do this of course.
The only films that really uses the vague sequel idea a lot are b-movies, I think.
