That is because we have been offering them for 2 years now but Singer thinks he knows all. The internet is a buzz with no Zod, but if you believe the rumors online, and his Kahn statement, Zod will be in the sequel. Singer and WB isnt listening to us.

The internet can tell a studio, and director alot of how the majority of the fans feel, and since day one when this movie was fully cast that got a terrible buzz going online, and they didnt listen.. The story of the film started to leak online, and the buzz got worse... Again they didnt listen.

The first pictures of the superman suit got online, and again they did not listen to the fans... The result is a major bomb in Superman Returns.

Now they speak of ZOD for the sequel, and again the fans have started a bad buzz online about that idea because again NOBODY wants to see Zod again, and most dont want a sequel or Singer involved in the next Superman movie... But again the WB turns a def ear to us... THE FANS!

But if the sequel gets made I bet all the tea in china that again it will bomb, and again we will all go on the hype, and say "man they should have listened..." Sadly the WB waits til they finally kill a franchise to death before they listen.

We had to sit thru a few bad BATMAN movies before we got the excellent BATMAN BEGINS, and that was only good because THEY LISTENED!
With Superman they refuse to care about the fans, and myfriend this is where they fail...

To be honest they should NEVER make a sequel to this train wreck of Singermans, and just reboot the whole thing in 10years with a real director, and not some hollywood hack who doesnt know a thing about the material he's directing but has a love of some old movies which were very flawed themself's, and a cast of actors who actually look the part!

But then again what do I know??? I was only right about everything I said in Superman Returns without having watched the movie many months ago!
Yea I know im crazy I don't know squat.. This maybe true but I sure was proven right in all accounts by Bryan Singer. So Month's later, and all I can do is say "I told you so WB..."

Warner's, if you have any brains in your head, you will stop listening to the kiss asses at Bluetights.net and listen to the people that will tell you it straight.

That's quite a stupid thing to say.

I could think of far worse things to say of people who incessantly badger every decision made....because we all know how much responsibility those particular people make on an everyday level.

Oh the daily executive multi-million dollar decisions us fanboys face everyday....At least I got a hot secretary.

Who says that big fights, a brighter costume, and even Steven Spielberg would have meant for cash for a new Superman film? Any of you ever consider that this just isn't the right audience for Superman? And not every dubious little decision WB makes?

The times they are a changin.

Even Batman didn't get close to the reception he received in 89'. And that was with a 'PERECT' Batman origin tale starring Christian Bale.

Maybe the audiences just don't find Superman and Batman the way they once did. It's sad to say it being a Superman fan, but it's a very strong possibility when you put their performances next to each other in terms of general audience reception and popularity. Some of you say the numbers don't lie right?

Though, I'm sure some more elaborate explosions would help.

Are you kidding!?
Take a look around the boards, it's filled with ideas by fans. We want a good SuperMAN movie. NOT superchickflick.

 

[Thunder Emperor]

I can't believe WB is confident, considering this weekend the Superman is not among the top 37 movies, disgraceful to say the least.

p.s mojo has budgjet now at 270 million

Yeah for purists thats a death sentence, but there are other folks out there who wasnt bothered that much by these things lol. Superman was depicted as above the rules of regular mankind, and when he chooses to use this vip card, he can. Its the questionable issues that made it worth it imo. The goody superman of before, we can understand why they changed it for today. Why didnt Routh smile at the flyover at the end in space? Hes not reeves depiction completely, but they made enough homage to respect the past.

Superman has been/always will be a "goody." he's the ultimate good boy. there's a reason he's called The Big Boy Scout. Superman Returns had an out-of-character Superman. what do you not understand about this? there's nothing wrong with updating his storyline, but there's a problem with changing him into someone/something else. i'm not even a purist, or that big of a Superman fan, my interest in him stems from Bruce Timm's series, the Fleischer Superman, and the first film. i've read only one graphic novel, but even i knew that Superman was off/wrong/not himself.

Smarts is not just the Margot Kidder version of the character. This IS a slightly different universe, as even physically shown in the films. I thought that would be enough hint to show the alterations made with story and characters too. Kate Bosworth said anyway that this lois is different.

yes, this was a different Lois Lane. so different that it wasn't even Lois Lane. i saw a character named Lois Lane, but it wasn't her. there was nothing intelligent about her, there was nothing feisty, there was nothing terribly likeable about her. she was a consistent damsel-in-distress, and angry-soccer-mom. these are not ways to describe Lois Lane.

As for some technicality that comes from comic sense of how kryptonains breed, lol nobody cares about that in all honesty except die hards. I would think without being picky about comics, Kryptonians and Humans are similar enough to breed, if you even just look at them theyre identical. Once again the conception may have happened slightly differently in this universe, so the events of superman 2 may not be EXACTLY how it occured, but just enough to make a vague requel.

Kryptonians and Humans resemblance is purely superficial. we're told that Kal-El will look like them, but he will not be one of them. it is safe to assume then that he's a completely different species. it's fairly simple when you think about basic biology. even though he lost his powers in Superman II, which the fact that they allowed that to happen is so wrong it's not even funny, he shouldn't/couldn't have reproduced with Lois.

At least there was no otis lol. Perhaps repetitive to you, but as a remix for a new generation, this was a stepping stone for future brand new adventures, to firstly say "everyone remember the past, now lets take what weve made modern here and bridge to the future."

there was NOTHING modern about his henchmen. Kal Penn was this films Otis, all of his lines were cut, but that's EXACTLY what he was. Parker Posey was Miss Tessmaucher. there was nothing new presented about either of their characters. the rest of henchmen made no sense and served no purpose either. what was with one of them being stupid enough to play piano with the kid while Lois was next to a fax machine? her ONE moment of intelligence was couple with something incredibly camp. and not in a good way. or the other guy who walked around filming everything. why? what was the poitn of that?? Singer said he removed the campy sidekicks. Singer lied.

Saying Martha Kent had no reaction to clark coming home is a lie imo, and ... Lana? Who is that again? The point is there is ample time to delve into all of this if Singer sees fit, and if he doesnt then many would realize the smarts of doing it his way also, as he does have quite the instinct.

i didn't say Martha had no reaction to Kent coming back, i said she was a glorified cameo. that is just wrong to do. Martha Kent is so important to Superman and for her to have two scenes and do nothing is so wrong. the movie was about Superman's return and yet the most important person in his life is regulated to five minutes of screentime? yeah, i don't think so. and the fact that you don't even know who Lana is is highly worrisome. even the horrible show, to me anyway, that is Smallville acknowledges Lana's importance. Lana Lang is the smalltown girl who Clark fell in love with when he was younger, they've remained the best of friends even to this very day. Lana is to Superman what Gwen Stacy is to Spider-Man, except Lana never died.

 

[Triligors]

Martha Kent was in the movie more, but was cut from thee movie due to pacing reasons.

 

[Neto Magnus]
