What should Krypton look like?

[M.O.Steel]

I would like to see that stuff to, but this movie doesnt have the luxury of the first half hour on krypton. Let's face it, fans would like that but I doubt regular people will. Although if their is a sequel with zod it would be a great way to see what happen to jor-el specifically and thats why I still believe Zod should be used in this trilogy.

oh i definitely don't think it should exist until i good nice trilogy/franchise

Elements from the novel THE LAST DAYS OF KRYPTON could make for a fantastic movie.

I heard the book was very good.

I saw all the different charactes it had listed. I think you could devote almost 1/3 of the movie about krypton, 1/3 smallville, 1/3 fortress - intro to metropolis with a cliffhanger ending.

I would love a total change from Donners impractical iceberg world, and have a more colorful hospitipal world. But still simplistic in design.

 

[Crook]

Where is the middle from?

 

[SuperDaniel]

I was wondering the same thing..

 

[solidsnake86]

I wouldnt mind a hybrid of krypton including the crystals but also other styles as well. The crystal technology could be something they experimented with which would be why Jor-el sent it to make the fortress but everything else could be different, thats what I would prefer.

That middle pic is from an episode of super friends.

Oh nice!! I've never seen it!!

In my perfect world, they would make a movie entirely about Krypton and its downfall. It would end with the rocketship and carry us into a Superman movie. I know its a pipe dream, but I think it would be amazing.

 

[Superfreak]

ok, so I've been thinking a little about krypton:

1) the story on krypton is essentially irrelevant. It explains only that this 'was' superman's home, and that it no longer exists, and that he is the last of his kind.

2)on that basis, I might not even want to see krypton. Not at the beginning of an origin atleast

3)I'd much rather see Krypton as newborn infant Kal'el saw krypton (ie. not very well). Blurry images, through the point of view of an infant that cannot understand or recognize what he's seeing. (This would last during the credit sequence) and then boom, krypton is gone, as Kal's ship escapes to earth.

4)this would result in Superman not actually knowing anything about himself, other than his human parents found him in a space ship, and that he is special.

5)Krypton would be explained in the sequel, as the origin movie would conclude with Superman finally discovering who he is, discovering the truth about krypton etc. The central question in the origin movie for superman would be: 'who am I?'

if he fights brainiac, like TAS, superman could escape with that part of brainiac wherein the Kryptonian archive is stored, and finally learn his origin, and purpose on earth

pointless and irrelevant. It's like watching a movie about Thomas Wayne, that ends with him being shot. Yawn. I wanna see superman, not his non super dad

Well, with Jor-El you would get cool sci-fi stuff. And probably Brainiac. But agreed.

as a fan boy, I agree, it could make a really cool story. But as far as superman is concerned, it should be a quick prologue. Get to earth, and start with the superman as quick as is reasonably possible.

But I really like the idea of Krypton being the mystery of the movie. With the origin movie being a quest to discover Superman's origin (slightly like Birthright, but with a different story)

 

[I Am The Knight]

I like that.

 

[Superfreak]

I like that.

I honestly think it's the best way to do it. That way you see Krypton at the end of the movie, rather than the beginning. It moves away from the cookie cutter origin we are all expecting. There wouldn't be any actual central narrative on Krypton. Krypton would be explored by hearsay

 

[COMPO]

to be honest if they do an origin story i think we should see it through Clarks eyes and we don't see Krypton in the first movie. My idea is the film starts with a teenaged Clark Kent trying to find out what do with his life after finding the ship and we flashback to Clark before that he's a star football player at smallville high, he's kind of arrogant big headed and his dad (like man of steel) shows him the ship and it sort of brings him down to size. Smallvilles hit by a tornado storm and Clark saves people realising he's been wasting his powers he goes off an travels the world to find himself returning as Superman.

i like clark traveling the world. but i am sorry Nolan already did this.
if the director can make a move where it looks different then ok. but not everyone needs to travel the world to become a superhero.

 

[solidsnake86]

I totaly agree with not exploring krypton at the beginning and learning bits and pieces throughout the movie. It is a superman movie at the end of the day and not "the last days of krypton".

That's what my SUPERMAN 2 script was to be like. In the first movie, I wouldn't even want him knowing he's an alien, or from a planet called Krypton.

agreed, the first movie would conclude with serious Cliffhanger. And the sequel would actually start with the revelation of that cliffhanger, the truth about his origin.

it would then make more sense to me for Luthor/Metallo to be the villains in the first movie... and then Brainiac in the sequel, as the expanded story on krypton at the beginning of the sequel would introduce Brainiac as the villainous evil that allowed krypton to fall.

but in order to make the above Jive, Luthor will have to be the villain who is holding superman's origin in secret... again, birthright touched on this, with Lex being the billionaire who had come across the kryptonite tablet. So that Superman can acquire his origin by the end of the movie (but not let the audience look at it)

to make this work, I also think that S' I and S' II should be shot just like SI and SII, as one big two part movie.

 

[GoblinWhirlwind]

Wouldn't really make sense for him to not realize he's from someplace else.. just not necessarily him knowing he's from Krypton yet.
