Superman: Man of Steel To Have Two Villains?

by Jeff Giles | August 06, 2007

Summary

On the grand continuum of movie rumors, this item falls somewhere between a conversation half-overheard at a restaurant and something a dude you know heard from this one guy, but it concerns the breathlessly debated Superman Returns sequel, so we can't very well not report it, can we?

Good response, but you shouldn't have brought up the 77% RT part, because he'll just say that critics are 'The biggest SOB's on the planet'.

sorry, but that jerk gets me so angry. i'm just trying to explain to our

sad misguided individua with the known facts that prove my point. to be fair it is rare

when so many critics could be wrong and hey if i have to suffer one of his pathetic

rants about how his opinion is absolute, well then so be it! i have responsibility to

protect the movies that i love and heck any movie when it was of a fresh quality that

superman returns was. i mean why can't he rant against movies that deserve it? someone

please tell me why he doesn't rant against what tim story did to fantastic four or

what brett ratner did to the x-men franchise? i could accept him if he did this to all

movies under lets say below a three star review but unfortunately thats not the case.

So, don't worry about me BatSpideyKong, I won't back down when i have proof to back up

an equally passionate opinion no matter the abuse from those who would try to stop me.

Oh, and Mr spacey has something to say again, "Mr. BatSpideyKong is GGGGRRRREEEAAATTT!

I gues he likes tony the tiger as well, huh?

I understand, couch tomatoe dougie. akkedon3 makes me furious too when he insults people who liked the movie. I LOVED Superman Returns. I actually left the theater with tears streaming down my face becuase it was such a beautiful and respectful film. Not just to the Superman character but also to Christopher Reeve and his wife Dana. Me and my buddies (being the manly men we are) tried not to look at each other after the movie because we were all pretty emotional. The film (while not perfect) just touched alot of chords with us. So when akkedon3 insults the movie, I can't help but get really angry. But its comforting to know that people like akkedon3 are in the extreme minority. But the best part is WE ARE GETTING A FREAKIN SEQUEL!!! AND ITS GONNA BE AWESOME!!! AND THAT LOSER AKKEDON3 CAN ***** MY ******** WITH HIS ******** **** ****** ******** ************* **** AND ***** FOR ****** *** THAT DUMBASS' FAT ********** ******** ********** HIS ********** **** BANANA ****** ****** **** ******** ***** TAILPIPE ****** ************** **** ******* ***** UNCLE **** ********* *** RUBBERBAND IN **** ******** ****** **** GRANDMA'S PANTIES!!!! :D

from you batspideykong and so many others because it makes me realize how many great

people write on this site and it puts asile on my face that it can't even be matched by

that smilely face icon you put to end your beautiful salute to what this site and its

community feels about this sad, mean and mr. spacey, one last time with feeling,

"WWWWRRRROOOONNNNNGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!". wow, i really felt something there and i hope that

everyone out there should join me BatSpideyKong,gamejediben and others to form a grand

"Fellowship of the Tomato" . we must take the heavy responsibilty of making sure the

evil lord adkkon3 does get hold of the one vegatable that would rule us all. and i get

I am in the minority? How come Superman bombed at the theater? How come it bombed in DVD sales? I guess most people were like me and saw it at the theater and laughed at how stupid it was and then never mentioned it again.

How is a movie good when it ****s up a character? WHen has Superman ever had an illegitimate son? When has superman ever went through a comic with saying only one word? When has Superman never thrown a punch and only lifted things.

How is SUperman Returns a good movie? There was nothing good about it.

P.S. Iron Man will be better than The Dark Knight, who is better at playing a drunk rich dude then Downey Jr. Oh you DC fluffers are going to come back with some lame excusss and no facts.

Ya know, aknddon3. I wish The Dark Knight and Iron Man would come out on the same day just so I could prove to you just how pathetically wrong you are. You would be the only one at the movies to go see Iron Man when the whole freakin city is lined up around the block to go see The Dark Knight. Iron Man has been, is, and always will be a poor man's Batman. Are you really arguing that because RDJ has a history with alcohol that it will make his performance BETTER? You are one REALLY F'ed up piece of work...

And BTW, Batman could unleash an unholy *** whupin on every single ****ing one of Marvel's characters just by pulling something out of his pocket.

Thats right, aknddon3. YOU HAVE BEEN PWNED!

You're the moron who has never let the facts get in the way of an unfounded, sorry-assed opinion. I could again supply the numbers, which very clearly demonstrate that Superman Returns did NOT "bomb" at either the box office or in DVD sales but what would be the point? The definition of stupid is doing [or saying] the same thing over and over again in spite of the results or the facts. That suits you to a "T". By the way, how in hell can you say that a movie which hasn't even been released yet will be better than a movie which has? Your lack of reason is astounding. You really are an idiot, in the truest sense of the word.

You keep saying it bombed. I'd like to see you make a movie that comes close to making 50 million. Superman Returns made 200 million in the US and 191 million internationally. Even IF it cost 350 million, which it didn't, it still did excellent at the box office. And it made 53 million in rentals and purchases. Now before you say '53 million sucks!', which it doesn't, keep in mind Spider-Man made 22 million in rentals and purchases.

I'm really getting tired of pwning you, aknddon.

And it's all a qualitative judgement when it comes to what was good about the movie.

I say 'The effects were excellent'.

You say 'They sucked horribly'.

I have no intention of trying to change your opinion, aknddon. Stop trying to change ours.

In my OPINION, The Dark Knight will be the best movie of next year. I loved every minute Batman Begins, but I ALSO am very interested in seeing Iron Man, despite my worries about the director.

OK.
Nobody has mentioned Lobo as a villian.
He's bad, he's funny, he's irreverent, he zooms around on a Harley/Rocketsled, he has a dog, and he smokes. And he's indestructible. (Well, you can blow him up. But he just regenerates and comes back madder than ever.)
Lobo would certainly add a certain amount of levity to the Supey sequel. Something all these comic book movies need.
If you are not familiar with Lobo, think the Hulk combined with Gene Simmons combined with Mad Max combined with that fake wrestling guy the Undertaker.

"When has Superman ever had an illegitimate son"

Yes, God forbid people try something we've never seen before. Everything should be exactly the same as it always was and always will be. What an interesting world that would make. God forbid we allow Superman to make mistakes, that may actually make him relatable to. To all of you who fear this has irreparably damaged the character as a role model, what? does making a mistake completely rule you out as a good person? He didn't even know she was having the kid, much less that it was even his. It's not like he went out to get a pack of smokes and never returned or is ducking child support payments. He had sex with a woman, God damn them for not sleeping in separate beds like the Cleavers. Left because he had to have some closure, God damn him for thinking of himself for 2 seconds, good people just don't do that.

Ive personaly got to say (and this is coming from a dude who has an entire tattoo sleeve of DC comics characters on his right arm!) that for me Marvel still has the better average of movies.

The first 2 Batman flicks, Begins, Superman and S.R aside thats it, ziltch.

Marvel has such a quality roster of people with such a history (x men, spidey, f4, captain america) that even its 2nd and 3rd tier hero's can make semi decent flicks (ghost rider, daredevil and now hulk & thor) but D.C as someone previously mentioned realy only has Superman and Batman, I cant imagine people flocking to the theatre or getting this riled up over a wonder woman movie, in all honesty. A Green Lantern flick would awesome if handled properly. But a Black Canary movie? Captain Marvel? Lightning Lad,? Dont get me wrong id be thre with my sleeping bag and thermos flask weeks before for any DC movie (with an exception to maybe Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen 2: Olsen Harder".) but fanboys like myself are NOT what makes succesfull franchises at the box office. Even the supposed JLA movie is going to look pretty patchy without Routhe or Bale to lend it credibility.

Superman Returns was all round a good movie, fun to watch, proabably not as faithful (kate bosworth as lois, the lovechild) an adaption as we have seen or maybe were expecting but an ORIGINAL and ENJOYABLE movie which in my opinion gave the whole franchise a much needed shot in the arm, id like to see where he's going to take the story arc next. You can be damn sure he's going to make a better movie than any of us are!

As for the next villians, Metalo could be cool, a decent character for singer to work with or maybe Brainiac/Luthor pairing! doomsday or darksied are probably to BANG SMASH! for him, bizzaro...naaah. and lets not do Zod and co again please.... my vote goes to Mr Mzzkrft! that could be interesting ; )

p.s Stop the Luthor hate. he's supes oldest rival with so much history and also two words; Kevin Spacey.

How have i been pwned? All the stats prove that i am right, superman bombed, most people hated it. How am i pwned? Come on little ***** you can try harder.

Lets see The Dark Knight will be good, Iron Man will be good, i bet those two movies are the highest grossing movies of 2008.

And for that loser that thinks that Iron Man is a poor mans Batman, how are they alike besides the part that they are rich? Oh wait they are nothing alike. Maybe you should read up about the character then talk.

Oh yeah batman is so awesome, until the hulk breaks him in half because he cannot stop him, hell even superman cannot stop the hulk. YOU ARE A SAD LITTLE *****.

So again i wait for a valid response.

P.S. Batspidybitch if you are worried about the director of iron man you must be a ****ing moron. The director is "****ing money", you wont get that because you are too young.

The director directed Elf for the love of god. That's all I'm worried about. I still am interested, it's just his resume is filled with comedies. And you keep saying 'we don't have any facts.' Oh right! Because every one of your posts hasn't just said 'Superman Returns bombed' or 'Superman Returns sucked and everybody agrees with me and you're in the minority.'

And if you honestly think you calling me a ***** is gonna affect me, well, you've got the wrong guy.

And I agree, The Hulk could destroy Batman.

And I also agree that Batman and Iron Man aren't alike.

And I agree that TDK and IM will both make ****loads of money.

The "Dallas" and "Swingers" allusions tend to indicate that you're not a little kid, which makes you all the more pathetic. The numbers prove that you're wrong. Your tired refusal to admit that fact proves that you're an idiot. Your argument that the Hulk can break Batman in half and that even Superman can't stop him proves that in spite of your chronological age, you're unbelievably immature. How's that for proof???
