The Official Superman Thread - Part 1

[Anubis]

Well, Superboy is a possible, but I see no reason why SG would have a different Powerset. I mean, she's Krytonian. They should have the same powers. Unless they're gonna go all Last Son on us and come up with some contrived, space angel thing like with the Matrix SG. (I'm sure she was an awesome character and all, but she was basically just some character who they called Supergirl.)

 

[X Knight]

didn't Kara have some kind of crystal power at one point?

would be kind of cool if they kept that. would make melee fights more interesting than just super punching and kicking..........

 

[fifthfiend]

soooo.........with this relaunch, do you think they will give Supergirl and Superboy slightly different powersets than Superman?

Absolutely not, there is no chance of this whatsoever.

edit: Superboy started out with a powerset that was significantly different from what Superman had, and everything they've done in the last... what, eight years? whenever teen titans lauched... has been to regress and downplay that, I can't imagine why they'd suddenly reverse that direction.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Im fine with SG/SM having the same powerset since they should. But I just want their fighting styles to differ. Which is something I liked about this SG being trained by various heroes in DC, she wasnt all about punches and kicks and just brute streangth. She was trained by amazons so she could use some technique.

I would love to see Superboy's telekinesis be a major factor again. Primarily because it's like 100 times cooler than just him having Superman's powers.

but it would be even cooler if SG had tk powers........and flaming wings........and Amazonian training...........

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Matrix's powers were a bit wacky, I'll grant you. That was the only thing I was a bit iffy on with her. But her personality and the Linda Danvers stuff was aces.

 

[Stallion9979]

I think it would be interesting if they gave the Kryptonians different abilities and power sets...think about it...everyone you meet are better at somethings then others...so people can run faster or jump faster etc etc...why couldn't that be true of aliens...

I think it would be an interesting concept to have them all with different power levels and abilities...it would be a neat twist...

 

[The Caped Knight]

That would only make sense if Superman landed in England, which he clearly did not. I mean, he bones a redhead in high school, for crying out loud! Lex and Jimmy being redheads is pure coincidence, and anyone who says different is a filthy, redheaded liar!

Lois was a originally a redhead in the John Byrne era .

Lois Lane's first trip to Metropolis from John Byrne Superman's Man Of Steel Prequel - World of Metropolis #02, Shows us how Lois got her job at The planet by getting dirt on Lex Luthor for Perry White.

I would be fine with the different power levels but dont know about the different power sets. They are all alike under their normal sun but its only the yellow sun that gives them powers so one would think that they would all exhibit the same powers.

 

[Anubis]

Yeah unnecessary.

Noel Neill. the first live action Lois Lane, was also a redhead.

 

[Anubis]

Yeah, but wasn't that in black and white?

 

[Kurosawa]

Yeah, but wasn't that in black and white?

In the Kirk Alyn serial, yes, but in the Adventures of Superman TV series, she replaced Phyllis Coates as Lois and from the third season on the episodes were shot in color for future syndication purposes. So that's where the redheaded Lois came from.

 

[Mystirious]

Nick Spencer is a Marvel exclusive now

Matrix's powers were a bit wacky, I'll grant you. That was the only thing I was a bit iffy on with her. But her personality and the Linda Danvers stuff was aces.

Her series was such fun

I read every issue and I loved it the way Peter David wrote her and developed her character was amazing

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Noel Neill. the first live action Lois Lane, was also a redhead.

Dana Delaney, who voiced Lois Lane on the animated series, is also a redhead. It's obviously an insidious global conspiracy to turn Lois into a ginger.

 

[X Knight]

maybe...........Superman is secretly a ginger himself............

Just an FYI from the movie front, my comic buddies. Russell Crowe is up for the part of Jor-El in The Man of Steel.

is he up for the part or actually cast?

 

[HighFivingMF]

is he up for the part or actually cast?

He's in negotiations so almost as good as cast. The article also said Sean Penn and Clive Owen were considered but either turned it down or weren't preferred to Crowe.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Aw, Clive Owen would've been cool. I love Clive Owen.

 

[X Knight]

I'd take Crowe over Penn or Owen.

Penn would have been a definite no for me.

And isn't Owen the guy from Sin City and Shoot em Up?

 

[Ponyboy]

I'd take Crowe over Penn or Owen.

Penn would have been a definite no for me.

And isn't Owen the guy from Sin City and Shoot Me Up?

Agreed.

Agreed.

Yep.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'd take Crowe over Penn or Owen.

Penn would have been a definite no for me.

And isn't Owen the guy from Sin City and Shoot Me Up?

And Children of Men and Inside Man and a slew of other movies that were actually good.
