The Official Misc. Villians Reboot Thread

TF has stupid action?

I thought the action was the only non stupid part of it.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

^Agreed.

I actually like the animated version of Clark. I even like the version from the TV series "Lois & Clark". Clark isn't the different character, Superman is. He was raised as Clark Kent, a confident kid. Sure, he shouldn't make too much of a fuzz to not raise any suspicion, but he also shouldn't act like someone who can't tie his shoes.

TAS version is basically the same as Superman himself. You have to give the movie audience something to work with. I don't see how you can make a leap from social awkward and clumsy to stupid or incompetent with the Donner version. One thing he does need to be, is an actual reporter. I'd like to see him actually working on a story for once.

Luckily, that was all that was required of it. Much like the cartoon.

It was all that was required, yes. Sadly, they decided to include much other stuff.

Really? What else is there? Humor I guess. Not my kind, but the audience I was in seemed to like it.

And as a reporter you should exhibit a bit of confidence or guts. I could never buy the Donner version of Clark as a news reporter.

Clark just needs to be your casual co-worker. Not being some kind of hot-shot that always gets into trouble, but also not the complete opposite. It'd be nice to get a nice middle ground.

I'd already completely happy if he'd be like the Dean Cain version. Clark in the movies needs to be more than just the clumsy disguise.

Ya they do have to go the supervillain route. It amazes me that people complain about SR especially luthor being the same and in the same breath state that they want luthor done in the reboot just done post-crisis. There's no doubt luthor will be in the series, but I would bet that he will show up along side either parasite, metalo, bizarro, or maybe even doomsday.

Luthor is a great character if done properly but needs to be given a rest. Introducing him in this one briefly could set up an interesting sequel that can equal TDK level if people are that sure that he is superman's number 1 villain. Make him metropolis's hero and have it get taken away in the sequel. This reboot needs brainiac and I really don't see how they can get around that because he is the perfect villain to tell kryptons story as well.

 

[Showtime]

Yes, Yes, and Yes. No question about it.

Okay, I know I might get flamed for opening this thread, but I want to ask you:

Do they have to go the supervillain route in the Superman Reboot?

You know, what I mean by supervillains is characters such as Metallo and Brainiac.

I mean, if we see Superman for the first time in the Reboot, I think that he should be seen as a threat by the citizens, with Lex Luthor going after him and trying to show the people that he's nothing more than a threat to humans.

Of course, Superman should kick some ass. They could go after him with advanced / alien technology, ultimately transforming Metropolis into a war zone.

I don't know it the reboot could work without supervillains such as Metallo and Braniac. What do you think?

I'm gathering that a lof of people would just like to see Birthright adapted to live action to reboot the story. Which I don't think would be a bad thing and wouldn't be surprised if it does serve as a big influence.

But we're also getting a new origin story again the comics, so...

 

[El Payaso]

Really? What else is there?

Everything that was no action naturally.

Humor I guess.

If we can call it like that.

the audience I was in seemed to like it.

Common sense is the least common of senses. That's why bad movies sometimes succeed.

Here's one alternative to a supervillain. The monster is not mine.

 

[8wid]

Superman hasn't always had supervillains. In that case, it's always possible to have something else. Here is someone's speculative concept art for the Cloverfield monster with a few add ons by me, it would be awesome to see him go up something like against this.

 

[Compi716]

^Wwwwwwwhat is that?

So that's how the Cloverfield monster looks like. It does have a striking resemblance to Sin, like those people were saying.

 

[dark_b]

i think one of the big reasons why we need an alien supervillain is because well............superman is an alien.
i understand that some people want LL and some intergangbang. but this is superman. there are no limits.

fabman i think i sense fear in you. dont be afraid that this movie could become a brainless popcorn movie. because it will hehehe

 

[GreenKToo]

We got the ''no supervillain thing'' with S.R.
If they went the same route with the reboot and had no supervillain yet again, then IMO it would/will be a disaster. Well, maybe not a complete disaster, but it would prolly make the same or less than S.R. made at the B.O., and we all know how that ended up.

i expect a bomb. i think people just expected more action in SR.

how would you even promote the new superman? LL again ?
lets see what money shots they would use :
-good bye superman
-people with machine guns firing at superman. bouncing bullets
-superman lifting
-superman throwing
-superman cathing
-lois in danger
-....

Yes... they have to sell this film as being much more different from the first 5 with real supervillains.

 

[Paradyme]

No offense but what a terrible question. Of course he does. I'm tired of him not having a real match. The movies have all had the same type of scenes. "Holy crap it's Superman!" scene, the "Kick the crap out of Superman using Kryptonite" scene, etc.

So, yes he needs a supervillian. I want to see the man fight, damnitt. Not just fly fast and lift things.

 

[8wid]

The 1950s comics invented villains to kill. Up until the 1960s there really was no firm rogues gallery. Isn't acceptable just to have giant monsters, global disasters, or world problems to defeat?

 

[NotFadeAway]

BRANIAC BRANIAC BRANIAC!!

Origin story, Superman vs. Braniac, with Braniac in the physical form of Jor-El.

 

[kalelkilla]

Well, I really believe they should have a Supervillain in the next movie, but I am not convinced they HAVE to have one. Mark Millar's Birthright shows how you can have a great Superman story with a lot of action without having one singular supervillain. It shows Superman fighting a lot of alien "supervillains" but the real force behind the evil is Lex Luthor...a human. Jeph Loeb's Superman For All Seasons is similar in which Lex again is behind "super robots" trying to take the place of Superman. These are both great Comic archs that could be used for the movie. Also, I forget the specific comic, but it was essentially the "out dated" Superman vs a gang of "cool" and ultraviolent supervillains (think X-Men gone bad) and Superman of course stops the gangs, showing his supreme power. Any of these comics would be a great backbone to a new Superman movie.

 

[Crook]

BirthRight was by Mark Waid. Anyway, yes that's what I've been saying as well. You don't need a "supervillain" per se, but you do need superpowered battles (not with inanimate objects).

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

When do you think we should see a Supervillain? Never? The next movie after the first? The last movie? Should Superman's rogue gallery from the comics ever make it too the big screen? If not, then why do you think so?
