The Official SDCC Coverage Thread

Some news starting to filter in regards to Comic Con. This article is discussing television show presence at Con.

http://www.tvweek.com/news/2008/06/tv_geeks_out_at_comiccon.php

--Warner Bros. Television will present panels for seven
shows: “Chuck,” “Fringe,” “Pushing Daisies,” “Smallville,” “Supernatural,” “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” and “The Big Bang Theory.”
 
I'll spaze out if we get something like that saying either M.O.S. or J.L. panel.
 
I'd be happy with either right now.

I rather spaze for MoS with how terrible JL will turn out if they still go ahead with what was going to happend. I want a JL film, but not the mess they want to use. And I rather they make one in a few years. Do some other heroes's solo films first to build up for JL. Marvel is doing that & it's a smart move there.
 
There are other DC Superheros besides Batman and Superman? Do tell my good sir?

Are you talking to me? ;)

Of course there are other superheroes in DC beside Bats & Supes. We need Flash, Green Lantern, etc. out there.

Notice I'm aware of you being sarcastic, so I'm returning the favor. :D :D
 
God I hope they don't announce a JLA film at comic-con. I would truly lose faith in WB if they did that!

Yeah, apparently there's some guy who wears a tacky green ring, and another guy who has sex really, REALLY fast, and there's this girl who likes to tie people up with her magic rope. Kinky, :twisted:.

God I hope they don't announce a JLA film at comic-con. I would truly lose faith in WB if they did that!

Me too.
 
I'm starting to believe that there will be no announcement at Comic Con regarding MOS and hopefully NOT JL for sure...
 
i also dont think that there will be MOS news at comic con.
 
To be honest I think the sequel may be dead. I could be wrong but it seems dead.

I sure hope not. I see what is going on with TDK and it's excitement among fans with all the anticipation of Bats Vs Joker....and I just hope that the WB gets a good script together for a SR sequel.

Really, there wasn't that much of a difference amongst the GA between BB and SR....and just look at how the marketing for TDK has been, it's been amazing so far. They're focusing on the spectacle of the 2nd film while still showing us hints of the evil ways of this new Joker. But mostly, it's the big, bad, shots that screams "Bigger" than BB.

A few tweaks here and there, and I don't see how the WB just can't get it together for the SR sequel. Brainiac/Metallo, and you can just imagine the trailers for those fights.

The WB is far too much like the fans....they all want something different. Plus, I really hope it isn't the Siegal lawsuit that is delaying Superman projects...that just sucks.

I see what your saying I just think at the moment the WB doesn't know what to do with Superman and feel kind of rushed because of the whole lawsuit thing.
 
I've the SR videogame for my 360 (best console ever), and the battle versus the giant metallo is the best part of the videogame.

The videogame remains mediocre, but this sequence would be fantastic on the silver screen.
For a sequel IMO Metallo, Doomsday, Brainiac are good choice for a supervillain, but I wouldn't like Bizarro. The poetic story of the sad monster doesn't work. as :bh:have proved it recently.

The difference is that BB united the fanbase and SR divided it. That's a lot to overcome. For many 'sequel to SR' sounds like a waste of time. SR just didn't re-invigorate interest in the character in a film franchise like BB did.

SR did not divide the fan base. What really split the fan base into two was some people felt that the WB should have used SV as the canon and cast Tom Welling, others felt they should go off of Donner's movies and then others just wanted a reboot having nothing to do with Donner or SV. The Superman fan base was split long before Singer and SR can around all SR did was widen the gap or close it depending how you look at things. Me personally I was in the group who thought they should have done a reboot with either SV or a new origin movie altogether. It really took Routh to win me over for SR because he IMO was Superman had it not been for him I probably would not have liked the movie. We as Superman fans will proably never agree as much as the Bat-fans do on a Superman movie because with Batman he is written one way (expect for that Adam West phase :csad:) Superman is written many ways and people each have a different view of him because of it. Some see him as the person you saw on Lois and Clark, some see him as how G. Reeves did, some see him how C. Reeve did, some see him how B. Routh did, others see him like STAS and some see him like how T. Welling is playing him. Then you have how he is shown in all the different era's through out the comic book and elseworld tales it is hard for fans to agree on one form of Superman. Then you have fans saying well how he is written in Action Comics right now is Superman and I say if you read Action Comics you'll see the Superman you see there is Donner and Singers Superman only without Jason because he is trapped in the Phantom Zone for the moment (but is supposed to come back very very soon). But the fans were divided long before SR and we will probably stay that way for a while because as I have said so many people have their own version of Superman you can never agree while with Batman it isn't that hard because you have either Frank Miller's Batman (Nolan, Burton, Comics, Elseworld) or Adam West Batman (Comics 60's & 70's, Batman Forever and Batman and Robin) that's why it is not that hard to agree for them.

Well, let's put it this way, after BB the fans were excited about a sequel and couldn't wait for TDK.
After SR, the fans were divided, not united and it' not simply over Smallville vs. SR. It's about SR NOT being a great re-introduction for SUperman to the big screen. When 1/2 are calling for a reboot, after SR, it certainly not all about Smallville.

If you think that Jason is CHris Kent in Action Comics you don't understand the vast differences between the characters.

No the reason why fans are still divided is because some feel they didn't get their Superman. As I explained before with Superman you will never please everyone. There are people out here who hated Donner's Superman for example. As I said before it is much easier to do Batman or Spider-Man or the X-Men then Superman because there are not as many versions of them as there is Superman and everyone has their idea of how Superman should be because how they were introduced to him. I am not saying it is about SV vs SR or reboot vs SR. What the problem is the idea of Superman vs SR and we fans will never agree to much because some people like Bryne Superman, others like the Superman in For Tomorrow, others like the Golden Age Superman (before WWII), etc so mix that in with media's view of Superman (movie, cartoon, TV Shows) you will have a fan base which will always be divided unlike Batman who has pretty much stayed the same for all these years it is not that hard to mess him up. Thats what I am getting at no matter what you do when it comes to Superman you are damned if you do and damed if you don't.

Also I am not calling Chris Kent Jason as in that they act alike I am calling him Jason because he was brought there because of the movie somewhat.
 
Is anyone here going to SDCC?

Yes, I will be there. I have a four day pass, but it will probably be like the year before. I'll only go two out of the four days. I don't really plan on attending any panels. There aren't any movies, cartoons, comics or anything else I'm hyped about.

Fans are divided b/c SR was crappy, not b/c they didn't get 'their Superman.' If you do a great Superman film it will succeed. SR was simply not the great Superman film. In fact it was not only not many fans SUperman- it was NO ONE's SUperman but Bryan SInger's.

Actually in reference to Chris Kent, he was alomost NOT brought in b/c of the film. But since the characters are completely different they went ahead with the Action story.

BTW- From the previous post, Batman's had more disctinctive eras/ versions than SUperman.
 
of course....let's not forget that some of us can be both Batman fans AND Superman fans.....;) ( AND Spidey fans.....and Hulk fans.....and Iron Man fans..........)

thought that for SR to be crappy that then every fan would need to hate it.
you know?
if every fans like SR then its a good movie for fanboys. if noone likes it is not. if it is divided then its more like 50/50 . right?
