The Official Misc. Villians Reboot Thread

Who are you asking?

Who are you asking?

You and anybody else who doesn't want or think that the next movie needs a Supervillain.

 

[newmexneon]

I still think the Metallo origin from the Animated Series would be great for a movie.

 

[Nathan]

The only thing I wouldn't like about it, is that he would be using Kryptonite too trying to beat Superman. I want a villain that doesn't need to rely on it.

The sequel would be the obvious answer. I just don't think we NEED to blow our load early by using up a supervillain for a reboot. The only thing that's necessary is Superman fighting a powerful force. BR was a good example, because technically all he ever did were fight humans, but it was one helluva epic battle.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I loved SR and that never had a super-villain so no, I dont think its necessary, but it is seemingly what the masses want, so i think WB will give that to them.

 

[Sam]

One thing he does need to be, is an actual reporter. I'd like to see him actually working on a story for once.

dammit. Warner should go with my script! U guys would get so many things u want! hehehe

Warner, give me a chance to show u my script!!! lol

 

[Matt]

1) Yes, they need a supervillain. Metallo would preferable. Braniac and Darkseid are sequel material. Metallo can be a good henchman villain of Lex (who also needs to be a focus. You cannot have Superman without Lex Luthor).

2) This post is amazing.

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.

And we agree on both things...again.

No suprise there

In all honesty, I hate the idea of "leaving Lex out." Hell, I'm looking forward to seeing a modern day Lex Luthor just as much as I am a modern day, post-crisis Superman on the big screen.

 

[Nathan]

Lex definitely needs to be there. But a super punch-out is also a must. Metallo would probably be the best solution, although I hate Kryptonite. First Superman fights people using hightech equipment, then Superman faces somebody being turned hightech.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^I think Lex and Metallo being the villains for movie 1 would be more than sufficient. The likes of Brainiac, Darkseid, Mongul, Doomsday, etc should be saved for sequels IMO.

 

[dark_b]

with metallo you get kryptonite. so we will reboot the superman franchise and then make the same mistakes?
this would be like TIH.

If Warner goes with a reboot, there is nothing they can do. Movie need to have all basic elements of Superman mitology, such as Krypton, Lois, Lex, kryptonite, where his powers come from, etc, etc. All the elements need to be reintroduced.

Btw, a lot of ppl say the THE INCREDIBLE HULK was a reboot. Sorry to desagree. Its wasnt. Just had other actors playing the characters. Audience can preety much see it as a sequel. Nothing there says it is a reboot.

If Warner does a reboot, THEY NEED TO SELL IT AS A REBOOT. Make it CLAER for everyone. They are going to the theater to see a new franchise, not just another movie with different actor.

why do i care what other people think?

TIH is an official reboot. if they didnt promote the movie the right way than this is their problem not mine.

hmm.. why the attack?

I know it is an official reboot. What I was saying is that Marvel didnt sell it right. Moive could be seeing as a sequel, since nothing there make clear it was a reboot. Heck, movie even started in Brazil, where the previous one ends.

I didnt desagree with u or anything. I was just making a point. Relax

 

[GreenKToo]

For the first film, I say Lex ( a given), Metallo, and Brainiac. This Lex NEEDS to be the Lex from the comics. A blend of the Lex-corp Lex, scientist Lex, and evil genius Lex.
Have Lex create Metallo after he is unsuccessful in trying to off Superman using other means ( intergang).

Brainiac ( the Kryptonarian Brainiac) detects the struggle between the two superpowered beings from space and comes to investigate.

and my point is that if people bashed that in SR it was all about defeating superman with kryptonite then it makes no sense to have a villain that has a kryptonite-heart.

I disagree. He would actually be fighting Metallo and thats what I want to see a fight. Kyrptonite is apart of Superman's mythology so I don't want it totally snuffed out.

fact is that with metallo you get 100% a scene like with lex. sueprman on the floor without hes powers and some cliche talking.
again metallo defeats sueprman with kryptonite. without it suepramn owns metallo.

i just want an alien that doesn need kryptonite

 

[I Am The Knight]

If you don't want Kryptonite in the movie you might as well have Krypton not exploding. There's no real reason why it can't be used.

Correct.

 

[Nathan]

Even though I agree that using Kryptonite to defeat Superman would be redundant, I also can't deny that it's part of the Superman Mythos.

Metallo and Superman could actually have a long fight, before Metallo decides to use the Kryptonite because he knows his strength alone isn't enough to defeat Superman. And maybe in order to defeat Metallo, Superman could lure him to a lead factory and set a trap. Managing to pour liquid lead over Metallo and thus protecting him from the radiation.

While this is true and it certainly will have more impact than the rocks in SR, dark_b isn't completely off; one of the main issues the general public has with Superman is the belief that he is unchallenged, unless a situation involves a little piece of green meteorite. They tend to put down Superman for that, a lot. I think that's what he was referring to.

 

[Strange]

I think in the reboot Lex needs to be in there. As far as Brainiac and Metallo both might be a little much. Lex is probably Superman's biggest enemy but not really up for a fight. So he looks into where Superman may have come from and somehow comes across Brainiac. He uses Brainiac, which he thinks is only alien tech that he can control and then it gets out of hand. So we get lex and we also get Superman and Brainiac fighting it out.

 

[Sawyer]

If we get another movie of just Lex (not saying to rule him out), I might kill somebody.

Superman has a great rogues gallery, and its a crime that, aside from ol' Lex and Zod, none of them have been used.

I want Brainiac. I want Metallo. I want Parasite. I want it all.
