Superman Returns Tune into Mtv NOW

Bale is one genuine guy! And Brandon Routh has Clarkiness written all over him.

Singer has said that SR would explore how Superman's strength would be employed in a "real physics" type environment. For me the plane rescue is an example of this exploration.

I think that's exactly what's going on. It seems as if he's initially more concerned about steadying the plane than anything else, because an out-of-control plane is just as likely to kill its passengers from all the knocking around inside as the crash will. The fact that Lois is only able to get to a seat and into a seatbelt after Superman's got the wing is a tip-off to his priorities.

A plane spinning out of control is nothing more than a dead weight. A plane, however damaged, that's been righted, still has both wings, and can be propelled forward is at least a plane that's generating a certain amount of lift under its wings. A plane doesn't fly because it has fuel; it flies because the engines can propel it forward at a sufficient speed to generate air pressure under and around the wings. Superman, as someone who flies regularly, would certainly know how air reacts when you're moving forward rather than down, so he's probably trying to push the plane forward in order to keep it more stable on the descent (and he's at least partially successful); that's gotta be why he's on the wing rather than under the plane. The wing's disintegration might be because of the plane's initial damage, but it might be because he can't propel the plane forward quickly enough to get the air to work with him rather than against.

I think it's a little bit like fighter planes trying to land on aircraft carriers. The Navy refers to these as "controlled crashes" because there's no question that the plane's going to be damaged after the maneuver (something like 10% of the airframe has to be repaired after a fighter lands on a carrier). The real question is whether or not an unpleasant procedure can be done safely enough that the people inside the aircraft stay alive.

So I don't think it may necessarily have anything to do with his absence from Earth, but more to do with the fact that Superman's trying to save a lot of people trapped inside a fuselage of unknown structural stability. At the speed the plane is already falling and the amount of damage it's already taken, his ability to save them has a lot more to do with what shape he can keep the plane in than anything else. Earth's gravity and physical laws may not apply to him, but they still apply to the plane and the people inside, and he's well aware of it.

GREAT first post, Madox! everything you posted makes sense...welcome to Hype!!!

 

[MoreCowbell]

This is how it's described in the book...

SM is trying to push back a half million pound jumbo jet, dropping at great speed... The problem is what is Superman pushing back from? The sky... It's like when people say use your legs to move heavy furniture. Superman is literally using all of his strength pushing back on something without any leverage. He’s doing the impossible. He can only slow it down as fast as he can fly (because flying is the only resistance he has against the plane).

Here are two passages from the book.

Spoiler

“From head to tail the jet was 195 feet, 9 inches long. It weighed more then 400,000 pounds without passengers. That was not it’s plummeting weight.”

“He made it to the nose. He grabbed it, then pushed against it, trying to slow it down and control it’s decent. His feet floundered: there was nothing to push against but his own indefatigable will.”

I refuse to watch it....I'm just going to wait! With all the trailers and the T.V. spot I feel like I haven't left anything. The shirt rip, gunshot to the eye, elevator sequence...

But it was GREAT right?

BTW, Bale rocked yesterday...I loved seeing all of them up there!

I think it's two links to one clip in different formats,Dam Comingsoon

 

[Super Kal]

clip 2 is a link to the youtube video that I hosted on youtube.

clip one is an mtv link to the video without all the text on top of the video... I also have that one.

 

[Cinemaman]

Oh this clip looks so AWESOME!!!! =FOREVER!

Thanks for the youtube version the other one won't work for me

 

[Super Kal]

I'll upload the other version as well... if it helps.


im sure there's a DLable link to it somewhere on The Planet... that's where I got it from.

 

[dark_b]

saw a lot of posts about bale and routh doing a movei together. if you listen to what bale said at the awards than you can see that bale will never make a batman-superman movie.
if you have superman in a movie than you have some funny lines,some funny scenes with clark. and this are the things that bale doesnt want in a movie with batman.

p.s. bale is a badass mutha****a. he doesnt care about anyone. and i respect that about him. brandond is different. but i guess as a newcomer you have to do things that people said to you.

bottomline: bale rocks.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Oh this clip looks so AWESOME!!!! =FOREVER!

I agree,it's a very cool clip

 

[Hunter Rider]

I'll upload the other version as well... if it helps.

Got it there to,thanks for the heads up

Is it just me or at the beginning of the clip, does it look like he's just sent something else safely into space... the space-shuttle, perhaps?

Because it kinda looks like he's seeing something off and THEN diving down to stop the plane.

My two cents.
