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?

I would like to take this moment to extend my middle finger to akknddon3

,,l,,

and give him the "Dumbass Award" for 2007.

Good job, akknddon3. You've earned it! In fact, you know what?

DOUBLE YOUR PLEASURE!!!

,,l,, ,,l,,

Your incomprehensable denial of fact made you the runner up for the "douche bag" award and the "f ucktard" award but the jury is still out on that those. But you never know... Rosie O'Donnell may actually pull out of the race, so heres hoping! :D

What numbers? You mean the fact that it cost 350 million to make yet only made like 250 million in the theaters? Or the fact that it was the number one returned or sold back dvd last year?

When someone says that Batman would beat all the Marvel superheros i will call them out on it.

I think we should give him a life-time achievement award. Maybe even "dumbass of the century." I know its only 2007, but I can't see how anyone could possibly be any more of an idiot.

It made 200 million in US theaters but 191 internationally. That's 391 million.

And I agree that it was stupid to say that Batman could beat up all of Marvel's superheroes. I mean, he just wouldn't. I think he's COOLER than most but he's defenitley not stronger...

...and you're 146 million off. It cost 204 million. Aknddon, Spider-Man 3 is the most expensive movie ever created and it cost 258 million, so in no way would Superman Returns cost 350 million.

The domestic gross was $200,081,192. The total, world-wide gross was $391,081,192. That doesn't include DVD sales and rental totals, but in its first week, "Superman Returns" generated nearly $13 million at the rental counter, one of the highest debuts all year. Those are just some of the numbers. But even if your "made-up" numbers are correct [and we all know that they're not], "Superman Returns" netted more than $41,000,000 in box office profits alone. This should be the final word, but it won't be. Because as I've pointed-out before, there are none so blind [or stupid] as those who refuse to see the truth, and when it comes to stupidity, you, aknddon3, are in a league of your own.

I think Iron Man will do very well, considering it is a new Superhero film. People do like to see different characters and new stories. I personally think The Dark Knight will win at the box office. Batman Begins was very impressive and I have super high hopes for this sequel.

Agreed. There's only one thing that might screw it at the box office.

If it says in the trailers 'from the director of Elf'.

I have high hopes for Iron Man, too. Considering the people involved, it should be the second best [The Dark Knight will be number one] superhero movie of the summer. But, then again, look at the people who were involved with "The Incredible Hulk" and we all know how that turned-out. Although I personally like it.

I liked The Hulk too. I basically have hopes for every superhero movie coming out next summer.

Aknddon3 I am with you man , keep fighting the good fight against these morons who thought that Superman Returns was anything but a huge mistake and that it BOMBED at the theatres . You are all defending it by saying it made 200 million here and 191 internationally. The movie cost 200 million to make not to mention the marketing costs . I think all you SR defenders should come back to reality and figure out that movie studios do not make 200 million dollar movies to only break even or barly make money.

If it was such a huge sucess why did WB wait to make sure it made at least 300 million before green lighting the sequel ??? Batmans sequel had a green light before the DVD even came out , Spidermans sequel was being planned before it was even out of theaters . So if you really think about it there was a bit of hesitation to make another Superman movie and that is not a sign of an amazing movie.

You are not a true Superman fan if you could look past all the crap plot lines and script flaws and the creative licenses they took with the character of Superman . Superman does not have a kid ever , especially after a one night stand . Superman does not lay in hospitals for days in a coma , and good villians do not have plans to create new islands out of crystals to make money ...

The plot and script were garbage , they trashed the entire image and character that is Superman and it was not a box office or dvd success in anyway , LOOK UP THE NUMBERS AND COMPARE THEM to other movies with these budgets and see how much money they made compared to Superman . Look at Spiderman , Batman , Transformers , Pirates ...

As far as Iron man vs The Dark Knight , of course Batman will make more money it is a sequel for starters and overall the 6th movie about the character to he has a wider an base . I agree Begins was an amazing movie and in my opinion the best comic book movie ever and totally trumped Superman Returns in everyway . Iron man is new and fresh and not well known to the general public so i am sure Batman will win the box office fight , but i think Iron man will surprise people in how good it is , Marvel has full control of it an Faverau knows his comic books .

Uradik smoke,

In the comics Superman has had several "sons" both pre and post crisis. Most recently in "Last Son." Where General Zod and Ursa's abused child was adopted by lois and clark. And secondly, nobody said ANYTHING in 1980 when Superman II came out and he slept with Lois. If your complaining about that then you are just about 27 YEARS TOO LATE!!!

You seriously don't know very much about Superman history with the claims you are making. Methinks you are just another marvel fanboy...

Superman has no kid, look right now and see if he has an illigetimate kid? Oh wait he has none.

So basically gamejediben is just a blind dc fanboy.

So Buck how does it feel to know that the production company even said that Superman cost 350 million including marketing? How does it feel to know that it was the number one returned movie of the year? How does it feel to know that it did really bad at rentals? Yes i used to work at Hollywood video and that was the biggest dissappointment ever. Try again buck and this time use facts, something i always use. You are so sad, you deserve the lifetime retarded award for being the biggest ****ing DC fluffer in the world.

p.s. Please learn that internet sites are not valid sources of stats, because i hate to tell you but the entire world does not use Rottentomatoes and Superherohype. I bet you once the first trailer for Iron Man comes out everyone is going to be ****ing amazed and would see that over Batman. Hell the biggest thing about Comic Con this year was the Iron Man trailer and the armor that they brought in.

Are you really trying to compare those instances of Supermans "Children" to him actually biologically having a child with Lois Lane ??? Cuz i think you are just another know it all wanna be who is trying to dispute that in fact Superman Returns was a disaster on all accounts by grasping at straws ... Just answer the question ... Do Superman and Lois Lane ever have a biological child togehter ??? I dont think anything else matters here in your little debate ... I am not disputing that in the comics there have been references to children , I am stating that there has never been a story or comic that has mentioned a biological child of Superman and Lois Lane ....

I am no Marvel fanboy as i think they have let some of the worst super hero movies get made about there characters and they have diluted the entire genre ...

I am simply a fan of good movies that stay true to there charcters, plots and themes , Something Superman Returns didnt do in the least in any way . The studio and Singer took creative control and tried to make the movie mass appealing and marketableand it was only to make money...

You neglected to mention how you felt about Superman being in the ICU of a hospital , or Lex Luthors big evil plan to use Kryptonian Crystals to make a new world as the main evil plot or any of the other rediculous plot holes ...

But if he's a 'blind dc fanboy' then he would see TDK no matter what. And aknddon, you've got no mother****in' proof that it was the most returned DVD. Stop saying it until you've got some facts to back you up instead of saying 'It was the most returned DVD'. You keep saying 'we don't have any facts' but you don't have anything to back you up.

And it made 391 mllion overall. Hmm, last I checked 391 was a larger number than 350, am I correct?
