The Official SDCC Coverage Thread

[AragornKing1]

I am thinking this is a distinct possibility, though I am not ruling our Singer just yet.



When was this said? I haven't been here in several days. And did they ever say who his director was?



If this is supposed to be out by 2010, something about this should have been announced already. Even just saying Singer is back, but WB is not even confirming that.

Showtime had a quote from that recent long article that Millar had posted. It said that his director called him about a month ago and told him that WB "wasn't looking in particular." Does that mean not listening to any reboot pitches at all? I don't think so but that's my opinion. As for the director, no, no one knows who the director was. And Batman Begins, Superman Returns, and The Dark Knight's press releases were never announced at any Comic Con. Heck The Dark Knight was officillay announced on July 31st 2006, a few days after Comic Con 06. I wasn't expecting anything to be announced AT Comic Con this year either. They could have possibly announced something while Comic Con was going on, but I don't think that's ever happened before. So I think we should just wait until this week is over before we assume anything.

I'm sure that after the mega success of Batman, someone will interview Horn or Robinov about the future. There'll be an interview at least before the end of the Summer. The bad thing is that IMO their priority is another Batman movie. I I'm starting to think that Superman will be considered again after the 2013...

 

[GreenKToo]

Wow. You can just feel the hope ebbing away here. Thats for a sequel OR a reboot.
I guess we can look forward to Plastic Man. Yay??

Well no because they did say that they have "about six projects lined up at the starting gate." I assume that means that it's not just a Batman 3 that's a priority. Plus their meetings with DC.

This board couldn't be more boring

Yep. People are starting to realize that the Man of Steel's return to the big screen was very brief, and his next film may be heavily delayed.

I don't think we get a sequel or reboot for at least 5 more years. That is what I am thinking as of right now.

 

[Jochimus]

...which at this point I'm not entirely sure is a bad thing.

Heck, they can always kick Smallville to the curb, wait a year or two, and then come out with a new TV series - new premise, new cast, etc. - like they have since Superboy ended. It would seem more productive to do that than to pour another several years and countless millions into trying to get another Superman movie going.

 

[FlawlessVictory]

Sigh....I never expected anything at the Con, really, so I don't know why people are surprised about any lack of Superman news. Also, some people here need to relax it.

I never really did either. People were speculating that some info would be leaked at the Con, that didn't happen. There was speculation that after TDK started breaking records at the BO, WB would throw a bone about a Superman film (the Singer sequel), and nothing.

So, what date are we targeting now for MOS news? TDK DVD release date? The opening weekend of BB3?

The Fact That There Is No New News About Singer's Sequal Is An Indication That The Wb Is Not Quite Happy With How Singer Turned The Franchise Into........... What's The Right Word............ Oh Yeah............. Gloomy. That's The Right Word For It.

I'm Not Expecting Anything From This Franchise Until Say In 2010, A Expected Amount Of Years Between Something That Is Borring Crap To Something That Has A Chance Of Excellance (ex. Batman & Robin And Batman Begins)

IMO Batman & Robin was a better movie than Superman Returns, at least B&R knew it was a comic based movie plus there were some funny lines.

What?


Wow guys, come on. Superman Returns wasn't great but it wasn't bad either. Heck, I think that Superman Returns is a little underrated.

 

[AragornKing1]

I guess you thought that Batman and Robin was better than The Dark Knight too, huh? The Dark Knight is not like the typical comic book movie and is a lot more serious and darker than Superman Returns.

 

[KobiKai]

No, TDK beats the **** out of B&R. My point was that even though it was crap the funny/cheesy scenes made it watchable, the same cannot be said about Superman Returns. Super Girl & Superman 3 were the same and also superior films to SR. Watching Helen Slater in that suit as a kid was quiet splendid t:
If you take a superhero movie the serious route you best have the storyline to back it up, Batman Begins & TDK are possibly the best SH movies ever

 

[cronosred]

My guess is that if we get a Superman movie anytime soon it will be a sequel but if the WB wants a reboot they will probably wait till all the legal stuff is settled.

Ha, no really campy and crappy comic book movie like Supergirl, Superman 3, and even Batman and Robin are superior to Superman Returns my friend. You must be smoking something, lol. The cheesy scenes from Batman and Robin are not funny or even watchable unless you're a little kid, high, or ******ed. You hardcore Superman fans could not have been that disappointed in Superman Returns to say that Supergirl, Superman 3, and Batman and Robin were better movies. I mean...damn.

 

[GreenKToo]

LOl. S.R. was far from perfect, i'd even say it disappointed me, but to say B&R, S:3 and that P.O.S. Supergirl are better causes me to shout out a big WTF.

I'm not a big fan of superman anyway but i'm not joking, this is my list for the main DC films

1. The Dark Knight
2. Batman Begins
3. Batman
4. Batman Returns
5. Superman 2
6. Superman 1
7. Batman Forever
8. Batman & Robin
9. Supergirl
10. Superman 3
11. Superman Returns
12. Superman 4

It only just beats Quest for peace

 

[Showtime]

Not a bad list at all.

This is a good list, but I would put SR after Batman Forever. IMO B&R, Superman 3, Supergirl and Superman 4 are worse.

Where Did That Information Comes From? Where? Prove It.



EDIT:

You know, I'm not going to come back until there is an confirmation for the sequel of Superman Returns. I'm getting tired of waiting too long and way long than I thought. Bryan Singer SHOULD'VE focus on the sequel instead of two stupid projects!!

Agreed. That, or a combination of all three.

12. Superman 4

Superman 1 and 2 are up higher for me. The ending for Superman 1 is flawed so I can't rank it higher then TDK and Superman 2 had some flaws as well. I didn't care for Clark beating up the guy at the end and some of the super powers were kinda random. Multiple Supermen and cellaphane S. Though the first time I saw the cellaphane S I like it.

 

[Ita-KalEl]

Another SDCC is over and we are still here without a single official word about a new Superman movie (sequel or reboot).

The "good" thing is that at least the WB haven't said a word about any new project. So there is still a little hope that something will happen...

But where's the fun in that, old boy? With no news on anything, all we've got to do is take to each other with cricket bats made of frozen stupid .

A bit more on topic - why would they (WB) announce Man of Steel at ComiCon when precedent is against it?

Also, since Bryan Singer has moved on to post production for the (rediculously belated) Valkyrie, I think now is about the time news will start to flow.

Due to the announcement of Tron 2 the other day as well, I'd have wonder if WB is doing something like that (the cash cow of TDK means that they can no longer ignore Superman; if they can get another cash cow, then they'll be laughing).

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

So no news at comic-con either about a reboot or sequel???


Thats it I am done wondering about this movie.
