I used to think Superman was boring. But he's really grown on me over the years. Today I greatly enjoy Superman, Superman II, Superman Returns, the Adventures of Superman, Lois &Clark, and have even been a regular watcher of Smallville over the end of its run, despite its ups and downs.

I honestly find Thor to be a boring character. However, I thought his movie was excelent. Go figure?

No one bores me to tears harder then The Huntress. When I turn a page in a comic book and I see her stupid costume, doing her stupid tough girl act, on her stupid looking motorcycle, it makes reading until she is gone nothing but work.

Superman, unless he's in an event (Final Crisis/Superman Beyond), or in a one-shot (All-Star Superman, Kingdom Come), is kinda' dull. But there is precedent for great stories with the character if given the right writer.

Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix) has been cast as Perry White

I like Laurence Fishburne has a actor and good to see him in action again in the past few years.

Wow. That was out of left field.

I'm not against changing the race of a character, but I've met comic fans who will be in an uproar about thia. I remember whEn Michael Clark Duncun was cast as the Kingpin in Daredevil, a total shitstorm hit the boards I frequented back then.

I was never a big fan of Superman. just seemed like a stupid generic Superhero to me.

Amd the title is obviously ripping off TDK...

Laurence Fishbourne as Perry White? This films cast just keeps getting better and better. Re-reading All-Star Superman is making me more and more excited for this film, despite the fact that it won't be like that incredible book.

The suit design is obviously inspired by Superman: Earth-One.

I've seen a higher resolution picture. The only issue I have is the honeycomb pattern on the suit.
But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks

I, that am rudely stamped, and want love's majesty
To strut before a wanton ambling nymph.

So what you're saying is that you never looked at the link and your previous post is spam.

Based on the suit seen in the graphic novel I mentioned.

It seems it's going to be an origin story, or at least part of the movie. We'll have to wait and see.
