Superman Returns The Official Comic-Con Thread!

[ChrisBaleBatman]

JULY 21st, I think. I'll check to make sure.

Updated the first page with the scheduled Superman Returns apperances incl. dates & times.

Seriously, why on Earth would Bryan Singer not show up? It's not like he had to go in the first place...the movie will have been out for almost a month at that point. He's not required to go, he likely volunteered to go. I am scared for him though...I've gone to Con every year for 6 years now, and some of those fanboys have zero social etiquette when asking questions. I'll never forget the string of emberassing intrusive questions when Angelina Jolie was there to promote Tomb Raider 2. I wanted to slide under my chair.

why, what did they ask her?

 

[Showtime]

I say again...I hope he shows. He better be able to answer for his vision, or he will look like a coward.Fanboy niche? I'm a fangurl, so get them facts straight because we are different when it comes to Supes. Now...I'm not trying to interject anything. YOU ARE!!!!!!!!!!!! You are saying he will show because he has NO FEAR. I'm saying he might not...but he probably won't.
LET'S SEE...shall we LOL..yep it will be. Though, where will you and your predictions be? You sound like a damn sheep, Showtime, and that's a shame....considering your name highlights why most don't like the movie

How do I sound like a sheep because I am predicting a critically acclaimed director is going to show up at a comic event to talk about a movie that he made? What makes me a sheep? Please explain. I'd love to hear it.

If he doesn't show I will be here to say, "he didn't show". Do I lose some kind of "Superherohype Credibility" if I am wrong?

Your grouping me into a certain segment because I enjoyed the movie, enjoying a movie, and being a sheep are two different things. Please make sense.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Yeah, July 21st at 8pm on G4 TV.

Apparently it's ok to both hate the movie and tell others that liked the movie that they're wrong, but it's not ok to do the inverse.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

That sounds like bush league stuff.

I mean, it's like if you like it....then your supposedly, wrong in the "all knowing" eye. And honestly, some of the reason people hate the movie....kinda dumb man, been reading the MEGA haters posts and well.....self explanatory...

 

[Captain Kirk]

I am with you SolidSnake, and ChrisBaleBats. It is absolutely ridiculous to hear most of the crap that is spread on these boards. I can understand some having a lukewarm response to SR, but to call it trash and those that like it "sheep" is normally what a call the reason for an ass whoppin' But we're all adults here, right. SR is a good film, and definately the most complex and serious portrayal of Superman yet. Not what I'd call a poor film by any means.

 

[WTFwuzThT]

Most complex and serious portrayal of Superman??? Are you serious???? Wow, I mean... just wow.

 

[Wondy]

LOL...there is a lot of talking about someone not even here. Yet you sheep still have faith.

Hope Singer lives up to all your dreams, or you will be owned just like you are being owned in the BO thread. That is, if you still read that since the 21st is around the corner. SDCC will be a historic event, rather Singer shows or not.

I for one would like to hear rather or not Singer shows...some of you clowns will look like fools if he don't.

 

[Lestat74]

Most complex and serious portrayal of Superman??? Are you serious???? Wow, I mean... just wow.

You act as if that's some kind of bizarre opinion that no one has. It's not like he's making it about Batman and Robin, for crying out loud. SR is easily one of the most critically liked Super Hero films ever, and most people who gave it good reviews did so because of the serious tone. Just because you don't agree doesn't mean it's some out of left field opinion like say, "Phantom Menace is better than Empire Strikes Back" or something. It woudn't be 75% at Rotten Tomatoes if the everyone thought it was bad.

wow...Friday is gonna be sooooooo interesting...

BSinger there,...face 2 face with a load of fans...now, how many are there gonna be waiting to beat him or praise him ?....that is the question...

now that NK was brought up...isnt it weird that Supes is trying to get rid of it, but while at it...pieces of rock are still falling and spreading into the sea...giving it a chance to parts of NK keep growing in the water...???

 

[Retroman]

Imagine Singer comes up on stage and starts off by blurting out lyrics from Grandmaster Flash's classic 'the message'

Don't push me, cause I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to loose my head
It's like a jungle, sometimes it makes me wonder
How I keep from going under

You take messageboards way to seriously, it's a shame you had to open up another name to continue your tirade. Aren't you not supposed to have two user names?

Looks like he hasn't bowed out yet, as some have suggested.

Indeed.
