Tom Welling as Superman

[Lighthouse]

Double post. The Hype is really taking a dump today.

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

The thing is I see them talking more about GL, Wonder Woman, Flash and Captain Marvel and Justice League and Green Arrow then Superman and Batman. I mean Superman and Batman are already established however I do think they might have DC come in and give their input on how to better both those two heroes but I see DC being more hands on with their other properties and becoming more hands on with the thrid Batman movie and thrid Superman movie (I say third Superman movie because they are now doing casting for Man Of Steel which means the script is down and everything is moving forward on it).

 

[KalKai]

Is that supposed to be a confirmation? You're getting your hopes up for nothing, as usual. Nothing is moving forward until The WB says so.

 

[Webhead2006]

no its no confirmation on anything its just that wb and dc heads are talking to try and solve all their issues with how to use and protray the dc characters they own be that merch, cartoons, tv shows, or films. Hopefully things work out the best and things can actually get off the ground for dc and wb to showcase all their properties in the best mannor.

 

[KalKai]

I was referring to the alleged casting calls.

 

[Webhead2006]

oh yea no way there is any casting for mos happening no one at wb even knows if singer's mos is going to happen or if a reboot which has been talked about and they are actively looking into possibly doing is going to happen. So right now there is no green ligh script, no film green lighted, and no cast for anything at this time. And we are likely not going to hear anything for mos or a reboot to later this year at the earliest.

 

[Migu-EL]

It's almost 100% guaranteed that the next time there's a Superman movie on the big screen it will be reboot.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea its more then likely with them actively looking at people with reboot pitchs. Singer didnt deliever them the film they were expecting. Yea it would be nice if he could do another to try and fix the mistakes, but why waste 200+million dollars with singer who could deliever another flop to the fans when we can get a reboot and move it in the right direction and not be connected to donnors/silver age stuff and we get a great MODERN take on the character. And as i said a bunch of times over the threads wb and dc really need to get going with superman since they could lose the rights to the character in 5 years so they need to use the character in the right way in the five years to bank off it before they cant. But hopefully if shuster's heir gets the rights in 5 years shuster heir's and the sigel family let wb/dc keep the character and just get money off the profits of the character. I really think it would be foolish to take it from warners and dc were the character is making all the money when they can just leave it there and make a boat load of money.

Not exactly Tom Welling news, but I thought you guys might find it interesting.

And DC characters have been more successful than Marvel’s in TV, most recently with “Smallville.”

Well at least there's something positive about Superman in the article.

Woot! \o/ SV Represent!

Thanks for posting that, Lighthouse.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

has Marvel even had a live-action TV show since The Incredible Hulk went off the air? And no, Mutant-X doesn't count...

Blade

 

[Webhead2006]

yea that was decent but to bad spike decided to can it so soon, there was talks a few years back for a moonknight show but i dont think that ever got past planning stage. Then there was that generation x pilot/tv film in the 90s.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

Blade

OK, any show thats lasted more than 4 episodes and was on a semi-relevant network?

 

[Docker2.0]

Wasn't Blade the highest rated show on the network but Spike couldn't afford to keep it on the air?

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

Was Blade the highest rated show on the network but Spike couldn't afford to keep it on the air?

Fixed it

and I think Blade would still be on the air had it went to FX like it was suppose to.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea it probably would have lasted longer if the network could have handled it better, yes it wasnt the best show but it was a decent spinoff from the films.

 

[KBX]

Wasn't there and old Spiderman live-action show?

 

[Prison Mike]

Wasn't there and old Spiderman live-action show?

in the 70s, yes.

and I heard there's supposed to be a Black Panther tv show on BET network?

 

[zerohour films]

Wasn't there and old Spiderman live-action show?

Yes.

I believe it ran concurrently with The Incredible Hulk for two short seasons.

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

Blade was a good series

 

[Webhead2006]

I thought blade show was good, not knocking it had good parts and some bad parts in it. I wish it didnt end so soon. And that black panther show is going to be an animated show on BET.

 

[LL2K2]

It's almost 100% guaranteed that the next time there's a Superman movie on the big screen it will be reboot.

Yeah, and The Incredible Hulk is a shining example...

 

[LL2K2]

Sheesh...double post

 

[RickO'Connell]

Yeah, and The Incredible Hulk is a shining example...

Yeah & your opinion = the thoughts of all movie goers

 

[Doright]

Wasn't Blade the highest rated show on the network but Spike couldn't afford to keep it on the air?

Yes. Thats exactly right. Blade was killed simply because it was too successful for the network..

Why they didn't just sell it off to someone else who could afford to make it though I have no idea. Maybe no one else wanted it.

and Blade was something like 13 episodes..
