Tom Welling as Superman

[Justice Bringer]

You brought it up. Besides theres no need for it.

We're already getting that assclown John Stewart instead of Hal Jordan.

There can't be 2 black guys.....

 

[RakuMon]

Technically, he is an alien which means he has no certain ethnicity. Btw, just because his skin color is white in the comics doesn't mean he can't be black in a movie adaptation.

Quoted for truth!

 

[Justice Bringer]

PETE!!!!!!

Yeah look how well that turned out.

 

[Justice Bringer]

He does have an ethnicity. 'Arrivial' showed us there are different ethnic groups of Kryptonians.

 

[The Joker_1000]

Correct me if I'm wrong but the Smallville continuity is much different from the Superman comics to which the movies are based on.

Stop making yourself look like an ass JB.

 

[Justice Bringer]

No. Youre gonna have to fight me.

Jon Peters told me youre tough... cos youre from the streets.

 

[KBX]

Yeah look how well that turned out.

Well yeah, fans missed him well he was gone and wished he would come back...

If you can act the role, I don't care if your black, white, hispanic or asian...

It depends on the platform I think. The show was so small town and white-bred back then that Pete didnt exactly fit in. The show was like Dawsons Creek.

I think he'd fit in better with the current direction of the show.

 

[Billy Batson]

Take that crap else where please.
SHH! Community a wonderful place for that type of talk.
SUPERMAN do not support such ignorance.

I miss Pete so shut the hell up!!!!!!!!! DumbA$$es
Black Superman = Steel

Amazing!
Chat like this is permitted, and debating about Routh vs Welling would get you banned.

Petty, petty humans, Kal-EL actually care for you skin sacks.

J.B change your name, you DO NOT stand for Justice!

 

[Justice Bringer]

I hate John Stewart. I dont care what race he is but hes a crappy character.

He acts like he has a stick up his ass all the time.

Hal Jordan is the James T Kirk of the Green Lanterns. At least he messes around enough to challenge Oliver Queen and Tony Stark's reputations.

 

[Billy Batson]

The Justice League TAS's John Stewart was a man's man, A F'en Marine.
I love him. Wow! you like a Green Lantern because he get chicks, John had his own triangle on JLU.

 

[Justice Bringer]

It was boring. Hawkgirl was the worst character on the show and their relationship went nowhere.

John has no personality either. Wait till Hal shows up on The Batman and JL: New Frontier. Hes going to be waay better.

Hell, even Kyle Rayner in STAS was more interesting than John.

 

[Billy Batson]

Well I enjoyed them equally, I'll leave at that.
Kyle was great, John was great, and I'm looking forward to Hal being great as well.

 

[Eddie Brock]

So suddenly saying that Superman shouldn't be black is racist?

There's nothing racist about a huge deviation from anything comics have previously established. It's not BECAUSE he's black, it's because he's NEVER been black...or anything even close to it.

Superman has always been portrayed as a Caucasian man, and changing that is painfully unnecessary. There are, however, some characters that know no racial boundaries (Kingpin jumps to mind...he actually works better as a black man, IMO) but Supes is not one of them.

 

[Justice Bringer]

Besides I wouldnt want to see a black actor attempt the Superman hair..

Unnecessary use of Jeri curl.

 

[coldiron_234]

Well, looks like they got A JLA movie coming out, maybe. I wonder how they got that idea. Smallville most likely. I see every Superman Returns fans want Brandon Roth as JLA's Superman. Go figure.

 

[OobeDoobBenubi]

I see every Superman Returns fans want Brandon Roth as JLA's Superman. Go figure.

How is that different compared to Smallville fans wanting Welling ? Welling fans are no more guilty then Routh fans go figure.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

ehh we might be getting both actually if the last thing I heard on the script is accurate

 

[triplet]

Jeez, guys...



C. Lee was probably being nice letting us discuss Tom maybe getting the part in the justice league film in here, I don't want discussion veering this far off course maybe getting this thread closed.

Can everyone play nice, please?

 

[OobeDoobBenubi]

I don't want discussion veering this far off course maybe getting this thread closed

Its probably to late for that. I think its obvious where the direction this thread will be going in.

 

[avidreader]

ehh we might be getting both actually if the last thing I heard on the script is accurate

... and what does that mean????

 

[The Joker_1000]

There is nothing wrong with a black Superman. To say that a black actor couldn't pull off the role when white men have attempted it & failed shows your lack of intelligence & the fact that your brain doesn't allow you think past the fact that white men have been ******* up the role of Superman for years.

 

[Justice Bringer]

ehh we might be getting both actually if the last thing I heard on the script is accurate

I hope you heard that from someone credible; not countingdown.com


It'd be great to have both but I'm not optimistic they'd alter the Mulrooney's 2nd draft that much.

This threads destiny has been revealed

 

[The Joker_1000]

This thread's destiny is to be closed due to the ignorance of a few people who don't know what the hell they are talking about.
