Their base is a cave outside Happy Harbor Rhode Island??

That's crazy...

 

[Docker2.0]

Oh My Gawd! The wb(I refuse to even capitalize their name now)is sick! WTF! They are so out of touch with their fanbase or even the general audience!

 

[Orin]

Yeah, a JLA movie with the original JLA headquarters... sick!

How could they dare to be faithful?
Goin' this path we might end with a Lex Luthor who never saw Clark Kent without glasses in their youth years.

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

Some people don't care about it being faithful only that it matches up with their version of Superman. But what can you do.

 

[The War Machine]

If they ever did a Smallville movie based in the SV universe, this is the suit Welling must wear when he becomes Superman:

Its perfect for live action and looks contemporary enough to not look ridiculous in the SV universe.

That's perfect! Definitely on the right track. I can really picture that seeing Welling wearing THAT kind of suit in the series finale. t:

 

[The War Machine]

If they ever spun Smallville off into a film; they should do Lex Luthor Man of Steel.

It dives into all the great hero/villian dynamics that SV set up.

Haven't read it yet (have really been meaning to) so can't comment on the story as a whole for a film. Although from what I have seen I would like elements to be used.

That speech in the pic posted above for one is something I could definitely see SV's Lex saying.

I agree and it would look good too...

And you know how much I like Tom's chest, I mean, look at the icon!

<<--------

He's big and his chest is broad and heavily muscled. They can get away with a bigger shield on Tom's chest.

Not the entire story, but elements of it. Probably substitute in Brainiac as the film's Supervillian.. but the focus would still be on the dynamic between Lex and Clark.

It's also a badass title. It insinuates to the general public that the film is about Superman but doesn't blantantly use 'Superman' in the title; which is a good way to distance itself from past Superman films.

Totally agree. And I wish whatever Superman movie or JLA spin-off was made followed the mood of the pictures above. I mean, he's one of the most powerful beings in the Universe and all we get is him floating outside Lois's window doing his stalker-vision thing. I want to see red eyes glowing in the dark scaring away bad guys

Found some cool artwork for Lex Luthor: Man of Steel and made a little Smallville manip out of it....

The manip of METROPOLIS looks more like New York city . Than Smallville's version of the city of Metropolis .

 

[The War Machine]

Lex Luthor: Man of Steel (Aka: Smallville: The Movie)

12 years after the events of 'Smallville,' 32 year old Clark Kent returns from the Fortress to learn that 40 year old Lex Luthor has been sworn in as the U.S. President. Luthor plans to use the Kryptonian Brain Interactive Construct as a weapon of U.S. National Defense. Clark must confront Lex in order to prevent the Earth from suffering the same fate as Krypton.

Starring: Michael Rosenbaum, Tom Welling, James Marsters, Michael McKean, Aaron Ashmore and Erica Durance.


It would be really cool. It would feel like Terminator II, 24, and Batman Begins. Very real-world.

Yeah it probably was New York, just a random pic I grabbed off of Google.
Tried to get a Metropolis one, but couldn't find one that looked right to me with a dark background and the window lights shining clearly enough.

I know it is a long shot but I still burn the canddle of hope that Welling might finally dress for the part *sigh*


On the petition front, I'm happy to say, others like us want to see him suit up. Close to 250 fans have already signed and I believe more will sign soon too. t:

 

[The War Machine]

The online petition is useless though. No one important will ever see it.

You should do a letter writing thing to the studio directly.

One will be sent with the petition explaining why we would like to see Tom Welling as Superman and showing that there are loads of other people thinking alike.

I know a petition could do little change but it brought Jericho back for another season, it brought Sarah back for Prison Break and Dr Beckett for Atlantis. So who knows... wish us luck and if you agree and want to help, please sign too.

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

The problem with seeing Tom Welling as Superman is Tom Welling played the role of Clark Kent for 8 years now do you think he would really want to play him for 8+ more years? I think if you write in letters it should be that SV does a made for TV movie for the series finale that is close to the Lois and Clark pilot.

The difference is this is the WB. Big film studio.

Letter writing is the only way; and even that has a very limited chance of success.

He seemed like one of the first to sign for the 8th year and never showed any interest in wanting to quit (unlike Rosenbaum and Kreuk).

We both know a TV movie would never happen with the Superman rights tied into the WB film studio.

A Smallville-based theatrical movie is the only way to go.

He commands things to be Awesome!

Screen play by Bruce timm!!

I'm actually somewhere in the middle with this. I don't want a full fledged Smallville movie but a Superman one that would incorporate some of the Smallville elements. For example, just like the comics, a Clark Kent that is not a bumbling idiot.

Screen play by Bruce timm!!

Amen to that. Long have I been saying, get Bruce Timm for the JLA. He's the only one that can make it successful.
