WB Superman Reboot 3.0: Christopher Nolan Edition

[Bad Superman]

I'm not saying I would like that, but it is kinda sorta interesting to think of Doomsday and Superman being created by the same group of scientists.
One's a success, the other a failure.
Still, I prefer Supes to just be the last son of Krypton. Also, I never EVER want to see Krypto the superdog on the big screen.

Totally agree. Although i woundn't mind seeing Supes battle the Phantom Zoners and Zod.

 

[Mr. Earle]

You guys are really hating on Krypto? I am disappoint.

You need to read some stories with him then. I'd definitely put him in the movie and leave him at the farm to guard it. And then i'd adapt that scene from All-Star Superman where he and Clark play catch... in space!

 

[Webhead2006]

if you are going to change supes so much it really isnt superman at all. There is no need for a massive change to the character to make it work well. we just need the right folks on board who understand and get what the character is and are able to display it on screen.

I'm perfectly happy with them using the 1980s "Man of Steel" comic series for the script, as it was reported.

They did a great job using "Batman:Year One" as inspiration for "Batman Begins"

I'm willing to bet we will get Kryptonian Brainiac though. It was reported the script may not have the standard Jor-El origins/Krypton stuff, but however has a very strong Kryptonian/Alien storyline.

Hope all of this is true, the report from Latino review got me so pumped for a Superman reboot that I occasionally re-read it.

Goyer had an idea that actually takes the movies back to the John Byrne incarnation. Modern. Believable. FUN!

Goyer's story involves Luthor and Brainiac. It is NOT an origin and assumes audiences already know about Lois, Clark, Jimmy and Perry. I know the Daily Planet is struggling due to the internet. And I know it sets up a huge Kryptonian mythology.

combined with this;

It’s very exciting, we have a fantastic story and we feel we can do it right. We know the milieu, if you will, we know the genre and how to get it done right

if true means we're getting the Superman film I've been dreaming of since, of idontknow, 1999? - fun.

Better get the classic Superman suit too (pictured above)

Agreed.

Been there done that, it was called Superman 2.

[Webhead2006]

i really hope they will make the right decisions this time around.

I have a visual in my mind of a scene revealing our first glimpse of Superman in the reboot.

A BUSY STREET NEXT TO AN ABONDONED BUILDING:
A gang of thugs has followed a young woman for over a block.
She nervously keeps looking back. She then notices a couple more thugs in front of her, and their moving her way. They force her into an empty building. A couple of them have knifes drawn. She drops her bags and backs up, fear grips her.
The sun is shining in her eyes through breaks in the walls, so she has to squint.
The thugs close in, whistling and whooping. she backs up further, dust and cobwebs cover her.
Suddenly the woman looks past the thugs and her eyes grow wide.
A loud "AHEM' is heard behind the thugs.
The thugs turn, and look up.
There, just outside the building, a man is seen through the breaks in the walls. He is hovering about 15 ' off the ground and is dressed in brillant blue with a flowing bright red cape..the sun is behind him which adds to the effect.
The thugs raise their hands to block out the sun and stare at the man.
The woman walks past the thugs and gives them a ''your gonna get it now'' look.
She walks under the hovering man. He looks down and smiles, she smiles back.
Then he looks back at the thugs. The smile is gone.
The thugs jaws drop, and the blood drains from their faces.

Those thugs should feel lucky that they didnt meet Batman. He would break some bones whether they surrendered on not.

 

[GreenKToo]

I changed it up a little from an alley to an abandoned building..It was too similar to the spider-man scene with mary jane.

 

[Bad Superman]

Been there done that, it was called Superman 2.

Well let's leave out Lex while we're at it. . . Superman 1, 2, 4 and Superman Returns. . . Hey, been there done that. . . .

I wasn't referring to the first film, but somewhere down the line. I'm sure many people wouldn't mind seeing Zod battle it out again with Superman, specially now with all the fx's that are available it could be epic.

 

[GreenKToo]

I'm hoping for a knock down drag out fight with lots of collateral damage.

Isn't that funny, though? Zod's only been in 1.5 Superman films...hasnt had a big screen appearance in nearly 30 years, and people act as if he's appeared too much, yet want luthor, a guy who's been in every superman film...and the only supes film he wasnt in, he was replaced by a guy that was essentially exactly like him....

Then again, why should I be surprised. Logic and rationality left these boards in 2004.

 

[GreenKToo]

I think Zod being used in SV alot hasnt helped any either.

 

[Bad Superman]

Me too. It's long overdue. I remember the fight scenes from The Matrix I and II and I would like to watch something similar. . . I think fx's have developed alot since then and it would definitely be one of my priorities for the first film be that against Brainiac or whomever the villian is.

I wonder what kind of training should the actor playing Supes should get for his fight scenes. Clearly not Kung-Fu.

 

[The Batman]

I think Zod being used in SV alot hasnt helped any either.

I dont think so...fanboys here have been whining about Zod before Season 9 of SV, and even then, it shouldnt matter how much he appears in SV.

I think this is related to ongoing "Donner Backlash" that hopefully these boards will grow out of.

 

[GreenKToo]

I'd think boxing and just street fighting.
It would be kool to see Superman get his a$$ kicked by a being just as strong, but the bad guy uses some form of martial art..
supes would then have to train with the BAT...lol, I kid I kid.

I agree. I just want to see Supes battle Zod and maybe the zoners sometime down the line.

That could be it. I've also read he's had quite a run in the comics too. I haven't collected Superman comics in a while.

Possibily, but who really knows. While Zods not my first choice of a villain, I wouldn't be totally opposed if he were done right...

 

[The Batman]

I agree. I just want to see Supes battle Zod and maybe the zoners sometime down the line.

Honestly, I bet the general audience would rather see Superman vs Zod than the fan favorite "Business man" Lex....

People wouldnt hate Zod if he didnt appear in the Donner movies. If Zod were in John Brynes Superman run or TAS, we wouldnt even be having this discussion. People would be begging to have him in the movie if that were the case.

t:

Boxing and street fighting are the way to go and maybe one or two throwing moves from a martial art that doesn't look fancy. Supes is all about raw power.

I agree. Quoting GreenKToo: I'm hoping for a knock down drag out fight with lots of collateral damage. Be that against whomever is or are the villians in the first film. As for Zod I just hope we see him sometime down the line on the new franchise. I can even imagine a possible teaser trailer voice over: KNEEL BEFORE ZOD. . . Im pretty sure it would cause an instant geekgasm in all of us.

Agreed. Superman vs Zod would be like "Matrix Revolutions" Neo vs. Agent Smith to the extreme

 

[Young Superman]

The reason I don't want Zod or Kara Zor-El in the reboot, is because i want Kal-El to be the only survivor of the planet Krypton in the new series of films.
