Superman Returns

Re: Superman Returns

Well it said ultimate baddies of the DC universe. I don't really think Zod ranks up there in the general scheme of things at DC or does he? Then again, seeing that the budget is being slashed it would make more sense for it to be Zod because a movie with Darkseid would probably need the full 200 mil+ production budget. Either way I can't wait for this movie. I just hope that they don't forsake the story elements for all the action stuff as I really liked the story driven nature of SR.

yeah, that's what I was thinking about Zod as well. If they did a Darkseid movie, it would have to have tons of special effects if they wanted to show Apokolips correctly. Money might be right with Brainiac, I might like that better than another Zod story.

I bet Best Buy has this set for about $75 first week. Atleast I'm hoping that they do.

Re: Superman Returns

Awesome news about the sequel. I for one LOVED Superman Returns, and absolutely can not wait until it is released on DVD.

With the "baddie" in the sequel, I agree that it will likely be either Zod or Brainiac. I'd love to see Darkseid, but that doesn't seem likely that they would bring Darkseid into the mix already. I HOPE one day we get to see a Superman movie involving Doomsday and the death of Superman, as I think that would be simply amazing to see on the big screen.

I also agree with you Sportsman. I loved how story and character driven Superman Returns was. They didn't go with just an all out "watch what Superman can do with all of his powers", which was great. And when they did use his powers, it seemed like they were actually necessary. For example, his freeze breath on the fire, the eye beam to destroy the falling glass, etc. I also felt like there were many "moments" in SR that were very iconic, much like Reeves in the original Superman flying into space at the end. Obviously, one of these moments in SR is when Routh does the same at the end, but a couple others also stuck out. For example, when he catches the car and winds up in the same pose as Action Comics #1, and also when he flies up to the sun to regenerate. I don't know why, but when he regains his strength by absorbing the suns rays, I get bigtime chills.

Anyway, enough of me talking. To make it short, I can't wait for the DVD of Superman Returns, and I can't wait for a future sequel!

Re: Superman Returns

While its most probable that it is Brainiac or Zod, the use of "ultimate villian in the DC universe" has me intrigued.

Not a bad deal at all, thanks for the info. I'll check around and if Amazon is the cheapest than I'll order from them.

I'm guessing because really the only big Superman villians are Luthor, Darkseid, Zod, and Brainiac. There's Doomsday, but he's just mindless rage. I think it would hard for him to be anymore than a tool of a villian in a movie. Superman's other villians like Parasite, Metallo, Mongul, etc just don't scream big time movie villian to me.

By saying DC's universe, I would love for it to be Darkseid because he really is the biggest villian for the whole universe IMO. That would be a crazy movie for sure if it had Darkseid and all his henchmen.

I can't decide if I want to watch Superman Returns or Donner's Superman II first when I get the big set.

Now that would rejuvinate the franchise.

Re: Superman Returns

I wish they would just straight up copy the comic books. The whole death/return of superman series was awesome. I would love to watch Superman fight Doomsday on the big screen. It would be like a 30 min battle scene.

aukevin, I'm watching them in order. I just need to figure out if I watch Superman Returns after Superman II since it follows right afterwards.
