The Official Michael Shannon IS General Zod - Part 1

[M.E.H.Z.E.B]

pretty good manip, but is Zod holding Kryptonite? wouldn't that effect him as well?

Ain't my manip, bro. That's Slugster's contribution.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Cool. I thought you were talking to me.

I honestly wasn't thinking about any poster when I wrote that.

BTW:

I love when Superman news comes out, it's an exciting time. Disappointment with Zod being the villian aside, this is a great cast that the are putting together.

 

[DorkyFresh]

i know...but that is Kryptonite right?

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Superman as a brawler and Zod as a technical fighter would make for some great stuff.

I'm clinging to the hope that its a green glowstick... maybe a flare?

You know how some people take things personally around here. t:

Yes it is exciting. We've still got Lex, Perry, Jimmy, Ursa (maybe), Jor-El, Lara, Brainiac (hopefully). I just wish it'd be a little quicker.

I wish it were going a little bit quicker too. I'm strange how the only release the news on Sunday though.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

They did it with Bale/Batman and Reynolds/GL too.

 

[Sawyer]

You remember the day that Bale was announced?

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Yes.

I remember where I was and what article I read announcing Ledger's casting.

Heeeyyyy! I can't believe Screenrant has something positive to say about this Superman film. That's a first, they usually act like haters of anything DC related over there.

 

[Dark Knight]

If you actually took the darn time to read the darn press release from WB, this is not a darn cameo.

Nor did it say, that Zod was the only villain either.

 

[Dark Knight]

And bad dialogue. I keed, I keed.

Hey, nobody's perfect. Not even you.

I kid....I kid...

 

[Showtime]

By having just having Zod and Ursa, they can consider themselves as the new Adam and Eve.

That is a fantastic idea. A lot to explore with that angle.

 

[Weadazoid]

I just don't get it though, Zod has all of Supermans powers check...he has Ursa as his back up check...

he may even have more back up...

But Brianiack is a singular villain whose powers are 100% different from Supermans, everything from massive energy beems to super powerful psy based attacks. Plus add that the possibility of a regenerating biomechanical body... that can simply live in machines................ COME ON~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


it's better then Zod.

 

[Showtime]

I for one would be strangely fascinated in seeing Snyder's take on Nuclear Man.

I think for some, it's like getting the same Christmas present that you got a few years back....and you didn't need a new one...and the person giving the gift knows they gave you the same thing back then.

Have you been taken over by a bot?

I don't mind Zod and I think if he is used as a terrorist who caused the ban on Krypton's space program he has value-merging him with Jax-Ur,basically- actually makes him a huge Kryptonian criminal, basically Krypton's Pol Pot if he were to have caused the massacre at Wegthor, but I'm not big on the storyline that Johns came up with and Non has no business being in such a prominent position. And there should never be a death penalty on Krypton in Jor-El's time. Krypton had abolished it years before Jor-El found the Phantom Zone.

But making Zod a player in the Last Days of Krypton makes him more important to the story and better as a villain. As for how Superman would stack up to him in battle, no matter how good Zod was as a General, Supes has a lifetime of experience with his powers. Superman is more skilled than Zod, which he would need to be since he also does not kill and works to save lives, whereas Zod could care less who gets hurt/killed in their battle.

Great read. The Boardwalk Empire clip they used was illuminating. Honestly, the last thing I saw Shannon in was Revolutionary Road. Seeing that clip (and reading that article) has raised my excitement over this latest casting.

I hope I'm not getting too ahead of myself when I say that it really does feel like something special is coming together.

 

[GreenKToo]

It's Zod, so be it. I'm gonna accept it.
I'm really hoping for, and expecting, a fight like we have never seen before. Something like the aerial battle in Matrix, Spider-man vs Doc Ock in SM II, and the damage in cloverfield only more of it, all combined into one big smorgasbord.

I dont want to just see one city street or block damaged either, I want to see half or more of Metropolis damaged and on fire and smoking. I want to see cars used like bats, and subway cars and ships used like rams.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I remember people saying "relax" and that we weren't getting a rehash of "Superman: The Movie" when the villain and plot were revealed for Returns in 2005/2006. Love, hate or meh on that film, it was a rehash.

Again I'm not giving up on the film because of this news because Shannon is a good and interesting actor so something good could be done with the character but I'm not going to pretend that I'm not disappointed at this conformation of Zod.

But did Singer from the beginning say that SR wouldn't have any ties to the Donner films? Plus he hadn't even bothered to read any Superman comics.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Singer said from the beginning that SR would be a continuation Superman 1 & 2, completely disregarding 3 & 4.
