I guess that's better than Singer/Routh Superman...

Their Superman wasn't bad either the problem was their Lois. Superman was fine for what little we saw of him and Clark.

i agree... routh as supes/clark was one of the few things that did work for me in that movie...

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yes it is the comics Superman is pretty much like Reeve Superman and that was his Superman.

I meant the Superman mythos as a whole. The movies are Donner's interpretation of it. Why does he really need to reinterpret the comics to match them?

 

[Darthphere]

I hope im wrong and this is the best thing since sliced bread.

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

Slice bread can not be topped unless with better and jam

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Or, you know, meat and cheese if it's a decent, self-respecting sandwich.

 

[Dr. Fate]

Sounds like Donner just wants to let out some ghosts in his basement. He's still bitter about being a primadonna during the filming of Superman II and is dead set on telling his "version of Superman III."

..I hate him so much.

Oh yeah, becaues the Salkind/Richard Lester approach was SO much better...

You're not wrong. It's Johns. It's going to suck.

 

[Darthphere]

Way to ruin my hope.

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

Johns is okay Titans before the death of Superboy was great.

 

[Super_Child]

woohoo only a few days to go

 

[The Leaguer]

Before you're disappointed? You must be excited.

 

[Super_Child]

Before you're disappointed? You must be excited.

I am probably getting my hopes up too high

 

[The Leaguer]

If you think it will be good, your hopes are too high.

 

[Super_Child]

Keep posting in this thread and I'll keep posting in Flash OYL, my hands are getting good exercise from all the clicking.

 

[Darthphere]

Action Comics will rule.


*jumps in time machine to 1977*

I knew it!

I think this comic arc for how ever long it is will be good. Not great but good. I do how ever think it will be classic Superman story telling. Although I am still waiting for the day Alex Ross says he will take over either Action, Superman, or All-Star for a year. I am now hoping he takes over All-Star since it does come out every other month like Justice.

 

[The Ether]

I think it will be a fun read, something you will enjoy but it's isn't the highest of priorities in picking up other comic books.

 

[Dr. Fate]

Well, Routh had pretty distinctive hair among the Superman actors. Same as if Clark were drawn with overgrown, tussled hair, I'd automatically think of Welling or if Superman were drawn with an infuriating lack of spit-curlage, I'd think of Dean Cain.

Routh's hair makes him look like Stephen King.

we really don't need a silver-age pre-modonna on a superman book [besides Richard donner ofcourse ]. Alex Ross should stick to his great paintings, and let actual writers write.

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

But thats why he would be great for All-Star.

 

[Eros]

But thats why he would be great for All-Star.

Okay, but he might need to work with someone else on it to get the Dialogue right.

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

Like how he is doing with Justice?

 

[Eros]

Like how he is doing with Justice?

yea, and how he did on Kingdom Come as well.
