Tom Welling as Superman

[Binker]

I found this:

This works because his current red jacket/blue shirt is sorta like a precusor to this, the prototype, and this would be the prototype for his costume. And BTW, Tom should wear this RIGHT BEFORE he wears the costume. And if he wears this, he should F***IN FLY!

 

[Prison Mike]

So he's like Neo only with a red jacket instead of black. LOL

I thought Superman was already cast in JL. Even if that's not the case, I don't see it happening.

If I recall, Jericho got saved because fans sent in tons of peanuts. Fans of Moonlight are donating blood to keep that show from the proverbial stake. This petition - even if it collects 10,000 signatures - I highly doubt will sway WB.

Still, nothing like the old college try, right?

 

[zerohour films]

Figured I'd make a quick manip of the above Neo-Superman






I can see how that would be a natural progression from the Red Jacket look, but I'd rather stick to a little more traditional look.

Okay, this is an awesome idea!

"OPERATION STOP THE MONKEY BUSINESS"

It's time WB execs hear what the fans are saying!!

Along with SaveSuperman.com, we will be launching "Operation: Stop the Monkey Business". For a donation of only $3, you can send a 6" stuffed monkey to Alan Horn or Jeff Robinov. Each monkey will be tagged with the SaveSuperman.com logo and can be customized with a special message from the sender. There will be two versions giving senders a choice. A regular one with just the logo or one holding a sign that reads "Welling for Superman".

Signatures are one thing but an office full of monkeys really gets the point across.

Perfect.

Not sure I'll buy more than one, money's kinda tight, but what the hell?

What better way to get the point across than a bunch of stuffed monkeys junking up Alan Horn's and Jeff Rubinov's offices?

is this to save superman from the jla movie or from the superman returns sequel? I'm all for welling being superman but what exactly are we saving him from? I'm not all against a MOS movie if there is more action.

I don't think she cares either way...

The Save Superman campaign is intended to try and persuade WB to dump Singer and do a reboot for MOS, but I think emi would be happy to have Tom in the suit in either a reboot of Superman or in the JLA.

I think it's a cute idea either way, but I'm not sure how convincing it'll be in the long run.

Look at what happened with the writers' strike: those pencils were underwhelming and the strike went on for another month or so until the AMPTP was damn good and ready to bargain.

 

[Prison Mike]

I don't mind Singer just as long as he adds more action and talking lines for Superman/Clark Kent. What I would really like, would be Welling in that JLA movie but with the OMAC storyline. If that can't happen then I'm satisfied with MOS (and with Singer helming it).

 

[zerohour films]

HaHa..yeah I should have made that flap of cape a little more distinct.

 

[The Joker_1000]

It still looks pretty good though.

So, still no word on if Welling will start flying or dawn the red cape?

I liked this outfit
Clark also have the red cape that that actress gave to him after being saved.

That's exactly it. Emi simply does not want to see another Singer directed Superman with questionable morals and a look that betrayes anything we know about the iconic character. With this site she wants to show the WB that we care enough and want to reboot the franchise with a better actor that looks the part and a story that does justice to our favorite character.

So, still no word on if Welling will start flying or dawn the red cape?

The official word is "No comment". Both Welling's reps and the studio reps are refusing to confirm or even deny the rumours.

If I never see this on the big screen I'll never be completely satisfied with live action Superman. If you don't have the visual you will NEVER achieve a good Superman movie.

Umm, sorry. But I can see this manip not working because he's wearing just a shirt in the original picture. Maybe if you tried a picture of him wearing his red jacket/blue shirt and then extending the length of the jacket so it's longer. Maybe that would work. And then add the "S" and all that.

Clark also have the red cape that that actress gave to him after being saved.

Yeah but, I would think he would still wear the long jacket, and it is its "caped presence" that would give him the idea of using the cape. Something like that.

I have some news, I'm not sure if they're good or bad but it could improve the chances of Welling getting cast as Superman for JLA.

Word is out that JL shooting might be moving yet again towards the end of the year. Fight choreographer Richard Norton posted the following on his blog:

"So here I am still in Los Angeles due to the movie, 'Justice League', being shelved until maybe the end of the year. I guess there were funding problems for the present. Oh well, that"s the nature of the business I am in."

No idea if this him speculating or this is based on hard facts.

This could mean that the release date is going to be pushed back as well, instead of having to rush things for 2009. More time to iron the script, do some re-casting (hopefully), move to a new location etc.

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

To be honest this movie (JLM) is pretty much on its last leg and I doubt it will happen. IMO they (WB) seem to be pushing right now for the sequel to Superman Returns and it looks like that will be coming out soon from all the reports given.

 

[Mikelus]

We don't know anything really solid and Valkyrie's release has been changed for 2009. JL is still there and is closer to filming stage, yet uncertain, plus the copyright issues.... it doesn't look good for MOS. As always, time will tell.

 

[triplet]

Sounds like Common is still under a NDA:

Crave Online: Are you actually doing Justice League of America?

Common: I can’t really talk about that situation, to be honest, so… I wish I could but I can’t, really.

Crave Online: Well, that sounds promising. It sounds like there’s a possibility if you can’t talk about it. You could say no if it’s no.

Common: There you go. You’re intelligent.

He basically said he's still doing it, even though he didn't come out and say that...

For anyone who says that MOS, or Superman in JLA, may not happen because of the lawsuit DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING. MOS will still happen, so will Superman in JLA, as much as more Superman comics, animations, and everything else. The lawsuit does not stop all that, it is merely about how much the Siegels are entitled to. That's it. The rest is just fear. And let's face it, if Time Warner was about to lose all the rights to Superman, they would pony up the money to get them back.

JUst leeting people know.

Valkyrie much like Star Trek will be completed for a 2008 release date but will be release in 2009 instead. As Showtime has just reported as well

David Hayter, a Toronto native, was in Toronto speaking at a college. He is friends with Bryan Singer and told the film students that Bryan is indeed working on a sequel and it would be heavily based on modern comics.

Which leads me to believe M.O.S is a go and happening its just we won't know as much seeing how the WB has now learned its lesson (thanks to Justice League: Mortal) about saying to much on a project before it has gone before the camera.
