Man of Steel (2013)

[wataru]

I honestly cannot say Im looking forward to this film.

While I do enjoyed Superman Returns, Superman IMHO is just NOT 21st century movie material. His comics also IMHO only provide a web to BETTER comics and BETTER characters - LoSH, Mon-El, Superboy, Supergirl.

The original 2 films (NOT THE DONNER CUT) and Superman Returns are IMHO (Im saying this alot to avoid fanboy butthurt) just right - unless they reboot the entire series.

The Superman origin is older then my father, when they really started fleshing out Supes' origin in the 1980s - it was 25 years of AMAZING but they havent put any of that in the 1978 - 200? film series, so it'll just feel weird. Parts of Superman Returns felt weird to me. It started with Superman and in Superman Returns - they have cell phones. Im sorry, the first movie made a BIG deal about REAL timeline dates and then BOOM! Cell phones. Im sorry, Superman 2 and Superman Returns are NOT that far apart I mean CMON!!!!

So no - I wont be super hot (har har pun) to see this.

This could just be my own ignorance of Superman's franchise, but I thought Superman Returns was in the continuity of Smallville and not the previous superman movies. Like I said, it could just be my own ignorance, I don't like Superman so I wouldn't know that much.

Superman Returns is a direct sequal to Superman II, NOT Smallville. It writes out Superman III and Superman IV The Quest For Peace.

It can be argue that Supergirl is also canon with Superman, Superman II and Superman Returns.

Perhaps Superman: Earth One will help this film's progress.

[miguelnuva]

that's what they need to do make a movie tat contenues smallville.

Yeah...uhhh no. ...what season did he move to Metropolis again? 4, 5?

[Hellspawn28]

Smallville might get its own movie anyways. I don't want this movie to be a origin story since we know how Clark became Superman for the past million time already.

[wataru]

Honestly - a Superboy film would be better. No Kon-El but like Superboy in Smallville.

[HeiseiGodzilla117]

And so, my ignorance of the superman franchise has created ridiculous speculations... lol.

Oh... btw. I find Superman boring as hell... but Smallville is boring as hell x10.

[Hellspawn28]

I was never a big Superman fan, but I do like the character along with the comics, movies, and the TV series. My favorite DC superhero would be The Specter or The Flash (Wally West) though.

Bump for an update.

[Hellspawn28]

Thanks for the bump since a lot of new info has been released since that the last time a person post in this thread.

The Casting Search For Superman Begin last week, and the actor who played as Ozzy in Watchmen might play as Superman. Anne Hathaway is being rumored for the role of Lois Lane as well.

Superman Returns was okay. I think of it as a tribute to Christopher Reeve. But, I think that type of Superman has run its course.
Its time for Superman to get some balls! Like in the newer cartoons and old comics. They actually need to bring some of the comic & cartoon ideas to the big screen.

[TokyoVigilante]

They need to adapt All-Star Superman. Done. Perfect movie.

and skreeonk Smallville and their trenchcoat Spid-, I mean Superman.

[miguelnuva]

Anyone hear John Cena and th rock our trying to play superman.

and smallville is doing good with blur since that can't use superboy.

[Hellspawn28]

I believe the John Cena casting where just rumors like when Trible H was rumor to play as Thor.

[Draglord]

Bump for Hellspawn.

[Hellspawn28]

Thanks for the bump. It looks like Henry Cavill (Stardust, Red Riding Hood) will play as Superman in the new movie.

The problem with Superman is that the physical build he has in the comics is basically impossible to find. It's a shame because it's pretty much the only Superhero it applies to (Captain Marvel and Powergirl aswell, I suppose).

I've never really believed any of the actors who played Superman. To lanky, not barrel chested enough, etc.

I'm staying optimistic, but I'm not all that blown away by this casting choice.

I'm not sure I like this choice for "The Man Of Steel".
He seems to be a better fit for " The Adventures of SuperBoy ".
