who knows??

you never know with young people.......

 

[Mystirious]

to attract the young, hip female demographic.....of course......

I would be more attracted if he dressed as a woman again

 

[Young Superman]

I like the Bruce Springsteen t-shirt and jeans look more then the actual costume he'll get later. Just dich the weird little baby cape.

[HighFivingMF]

I had no idea so many people cared about Jimmy Olsen's hair. Hmm.

Wasn't there one time, (I forget where, it could be one of the recent cartoon superman movies) Where Jimmy comes into the office wearing a dress and when asked if he was doing an assignment straight up states "No."?

Yep. All-Star Superman.

 

[Anubis]

That was during All-Star Superman.

Both the comic and the movie, though in the comic it was for a story.

He ain't a bad lookin' woman.

 

[Mystirious]

Darn right 'Nubsy

wait.....what??!!

Jimmy Olsen was a cross dresser in All Star Superman

It was hawt

Jimmy Olsen was a cross dresser in All Star Superman

It was hawt

lol.....I thought you were referring to Bieber dressing up as a woman.

but, I never knew Jimmy......was into such things either......

 

[Mystirious]

Hahaha no

Though if Bieber wants to dress as a woman that's up to him I have no problem with it

But I have no interest in Bieber. Never been a fan of his doubt that I ever will be

He's been doing that s**t since the silver age.

Personally, I think It'd be nice to find out that Superman's Pal is transgendered.

 

[Mystirious]

I would like that

I think there should be some good transgender characters in comic books. And I think Jimmy being transgender or a transvestite would be neat

Also he looks good as a woman

 

[Watchman]

Laurence Fishburne is Perry White.

So how about we just rename the character Perry Black! *Grumble, Grumble* Ultimate Spider-Man *Grumble, Grumble* PCness!

 

[HighFivingMF]

What's next? George Takei as Supergirl? Ellen Page as Jimmy Olsen!?!?


I like Fishburne as Perry!

 

[Watchman]

I like the cast so far. It's the people behind the camera that I'm worried about.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Interesting...well Marvel did it with Nick Fury, DC might as well do it with Perry starting in a Supes movie. But I could care less about what ethnicity the minor characters are so im fine with it.. They could make Jimmy a biracial kid for all I cared.

 

[hippie_hunter]

But Marvel did it for Nick Fury because Ultimate Nick Fury is Samuel L. Jackson. There is a basis for that casting.

 

[Anubis]

Who cares? He'll barely be in the movie anyway. They coulda cast Abe Vigoda and it wouldn't make a difference.

 

[Thebumwhowalks]

But Marvel did it for Nick Fury because Ultimate Nick Fury is Samuel L. Jackson. There is a basis for that casting.

All that tells you is that taking the Nick Fury concept and making him in the mold of SLJ worked, so it doesn't matter if it was done first in the movies or Ultimate comics.

That's what I don't like about folk claiming the films are faithful to the spirit of the comics, because they did it that way in the Ultimate universe. The U comics were meant to be an experimental series of What if type books, having fun with the concepts without being beholden to continuity or strict character conceits.
When you start adapting the films from those books, you run the risk of the movies being just as full of crappy 'new' ideas that Stan, Jack and Steve did not intend, as much as you would if you sat down and disregarded the original comics and came up with new ideas at the screenplay stage.


Having Nick Fury as SLJ is still as unfaithful to the comics as if it had been brought in at the screenplay stage to me, because you are immediately saying there is no chance of the original cigar chomping Fury being brought into the movies, therby disapointing some fans who have wanted to see him adapted into films since the 60s.

But, y'know having SamLJ as Fury works well too, which just so happened to be proven when they experimented with that concept in the What if type run of Ultimates.

So the casting of Larry Fishburne( Fishburne, love that name), is much the same deal, except it has so far been unproven to work in any medium, but , y'know, he'll do well acting in that role.

 

[Nightrunner]

Ugh, he's got Beiber hair.

Oh god, he does, doesnt he?

 

[Mystirious]

What's next? George Takei as Supergirl? Ellen Page as Jimmy Olsen!?!?


I like Fishburne as Perry!

I would dig all those casting choices

I really want Ellen Page to play Jimmy Olsen now

 

[yenaled]

I think if you care about Perry White's ethnicity, you should check yourself.
