If not, you'll probably be disappointed. "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Zod Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Sorry, I'm not in this one. Its a sequel to Superman 2, and I died in that one. Nontheless. KNEEL BEFORE ZOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanschu Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I have mixed feelings about Superman. I'll undoubtedly see the movie, but I'm curious what the thought process was behind making someone that is pretty much invincible, and slowly making him more and more powerful as things go on. I guess his "weakspot" (aside from kryptonite) is his compassion for humanity. But it makes for a rather bland character IMO. I much prefer the other DC hero, Batman, who is a conflicted soul which makes things a bit more interesting IMO> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surreptishus Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 (edited) Bleh, conflicted souls dark characters and all that have become overused in comics today. I think its time for a return to flawless heroes. So far the only reservation I have about this film is that they've gone for the comedy Lex of the old films instead of the billionaire tyrant in the comics and various tv series sicne the 1980's ...also I hope there is no reference to global terror and 9/11 Edited June 9, 2006 by Surreptishus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I don't really have a problem with "flawless" in that they are uber-good intentioned and all that jazz. But man, it seemed like midway through his life, they figured he just wasn't powerful enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surreptishus Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 But there's kryptonite!!! and his... compassion! Yeah ok he is super powerful. That is in keeping with the messianic theme, what with Marlon Brando sending his only begotten son to watch over humans. As long as the villains are super powered I guess its ok.

astr0creep Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Doesn't he superfight a Skyscraper-sized robot in that one or is this just from Superman Returns: The Game? I just hope Chloe dies, she gets on my nerves. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surreptishus Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I think the giant robot is in the game only - its Metallo. Aslo, Chloe is not in the movie. Smallville is a different (ugh) canon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blarghagh Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 (edited) I never thought I'd say this, but everything about this movie except the Joker-like quality of Spacey's Luthor looks boring. I mean really boring. The trailer made me feel like I had been watching it for an hour or something. Edited June 9, 2006 by TrueNeutral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Hades Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 (edited) I prefer Smallville's Luthor over the movie Luthors. Edited June 9, 2006 by Judge Hades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I much prefer the other DC hero, Batman, who is a conflicted soul which makes things a bit more interesting IMO> <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The John Byrne version is a lot more limited than the Golden/Silver Age version. Byrne's Superman (which has been the standard since '86, though DC may be taking him back to his Silver Age power levels now) can't fly in space without air, can't move planets, doesn't have a Super Brain (though they brought back Super Memory this month, grrr), and actually died back in '92 or '93. I much prefer Byrne's version (and, I'll admit it, I liked Superman Blue, too; Superman Blue was when Superman's powers were altered and he became an energy-based being). Unfortunately, as the Brando/Reeve/Hackman Superman was before the Byrne rewrite, and Superman Returns continues the story after Superman II, we'll likely see that god-like Kal-El (or, more properly, Kal-L, the Earth-Two and Golden/Silver Age Superman) in SMR.

Judge Hades Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 When he was an energy being he was just as vulnerable as any other human in his Clark Kent form. I thought that was interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pidesco Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 (edited) C'mon, Gene Hackman was an awesome Luthor. Anyway, one thing I'd like to see would be a Superman that's a self-righteous prick who actually feels pity for the puny humans.

Its annoying how weak he is in those series. He gets taken out by missiles, or knocked down by gunfire. Its just silly. Sure he can't be all powerful, but don't make him so weak he's vulnerable to simple gunfire. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

Calax Posted June 9, 2006 Author Share Posted June 9, 2006 he's actually got a vulnerability to magic too... that means that any hero who uses magic as a basis for their powers (looks at Cap Marvel) he usually goes down pretty fast against.
