ive been waiting for a good superman movie so that non comic book readers batman fanboys and marvel fanboys can eat there words and show some respect for the last son of Krypton
Superman
Character » Superman appears in 18940 issues.
Sent to Earth as an infant from the dying planet Krypton, Kal-El was adopted by the loving Kent family and raised in America's heartland as Clark Kent. Using his immense solar-fueled powers, he became Superman to defend mankind against all manner of threats while championing truth, justice, and the American way!
do you think Man of Steel will be good
@ratman19: I'm a bit worried about a few things, for instance supes randomly having TK, but hopefully it will be good and will start a build up to a justice league movie
Knowing the team behind the project, it may be unnecessarily dark. Dark and bad are not mutually exclusive, especially regarding Superman. I hope it will be good.
I have very high hopes for the movie. Same script writers and musicians as the Batman trilogy, Snyder on visuals and directing and a cast out of which I have yet to see a name I don't like. On paper, it's an excellent movie.
And let's hope so. Supes deserves a good one.
@Kal'smahboi: My worry is that what works for Batman may not work for Superman, Simply put Superman is not meant to be a dark, gritty character so I hope they don't try to force him to be@SuperShafe: Superman does have some level of tactile TK in the comics, its how he can lift buildings without them crumbling under their own weight.
@Dernman: I'm thinking it will just be tactile TK which he has displayed many times in the comics by holding up things that every law of physics clearly states should crumble under their own weight if lifted
Superman isn't a dark, gritty character but they can put him in some dark, gritty situations, which is fine. As long as Superman himself flies up toward the Sun at some point and smiles at the end, it's a good day. He needs to keep his hope high in the dark situations that he will be presented with.@Kal'smahboi: My worry is that what works for Batman may not work for Superman, Simply put Superman is not meant to be a dark, gritty character so I hope they don't try to force him to be
I've heard this fear voiced a few times, that Nolan made a couple of great, dark Batman movies, but that movie wouldn't work for Supes. I have faith in Nolan and think he was simply doing right by Batman's character and would do the same for Superman. But that's just me.
@Kal'smahboi: Nolan is a great director, its just that his movies always seem to end on a bit of a pessimistic note and one of the things I've always loved about Superman is that no matter what the situation is Supes always hopes for the best.
Oh ok then. I hope it doesn't get explored beyond that.@Dernman: I'm thinking it will just be tactile TK which he has displayed many times in the comics by holding up things that every law of physics clearly states should crumble under their own weight if lifted
@Dernman: so none of that Superman 4 inexplicable ability to rebuild the great wall of china by looking at it stuff for you?
@Kal'smahboi: actually my biggest concern is Snyder, he did an Okay job with 300 and Watchmen, but Superman is a whole other ballgame
The only thing that really worries me about Snyder is his propensity toward idealized and dramatized backgrounds. He loves his CGI backgrounds and it comes off as fake sometimes. Snyder is great at action and graphics and he really doesn't need to worry about directing the actors because the film has an all-star (and highly acclaimed) cast, including at least one Shakespearean actor. Non of these people need much direction. Superman is a huge undertaking, but I think the pieces were put in place well.@Kal'smahboi: actually my biggest concern is Snyder, he did an Okay job with 300 and Watchmen, but Superman is a whole other ballgame
@Kal'smahboi: I know they have a new composer but I still hope they have the old John Williams theme in there somewhere, cause that has got to be the most fitting hero theme music ever
@KainScion: not sure if anyone noticed, but you have never said anything nice about anything DC. So your words not worth much.
@sethysquare: i am not obligated to say anything i dont believe. i dont believe this movie will be good. track record is on my side anyway. and how kind of you for monitoring ALL my posts and keeping a record. you are a walking advertisement for dc. so your word is not worth much.

you are not obligated to troll
@sethysquare: i can say my opinion. you can take it as you will. and stop trying to make me look like the bad guy because im not praising to the high heavens what dc is doing. it makes you look desperate and pathetic. i have dispensing bad opinions on what dc AND marel are doing.
@KainScion: just as long as you stop trolling in dc forums. If you have NOTHING good to say about anything DC take the high road and walk away. always. Or it makes you look bitter and silly.
I have a preference for DC. Doesn't mean I go troll in marvel boards
@sethysquare: i dont monitor your postings because i dont care. and i can post wherever i want. many other people have said bad things about this movie and yet you only call me out. the other superman movies have been shit and so far i see no reason for this one to be any better. and AGAIN SORRY FOR NOT PRAISING DC. I GET IT NOW. YOU TAKE OFFENCE AT THIS. WELL I DONT CARE. EVERYBODY HAS AN OPINION. IM EXPRESSING MINE. SO QUIT BEING A DICK AND LET ME EXPRESS MINE. YOU DONT IT LIKE WHY DONT YOU TAKE THE HIGH ROAD AND WALK AWAY IF YOU'RE SO HIGH AND MIGHTY? I HAVE LET PLENTY OF HATERS OF MARVEL, WOLVERINE HATERS, STORM FANBOYS SLIDE. BUT YOU CANT LET ONE BAD OPINION ABOUT DC SLIDE. YOU HAVE TO BE THE PROTECTOR OF ALL THAT IS DC. HOW ABOUT YOU HAVE A COKE AND A SMILE AND MIND YOUR OWN BUSSINESS! GOD THEY GET WORSE EVERY YEAR.
@KainScion: i see ur hate messages in every dc forum. Every f*cking one of them. Ill quote your posts to show u how stupid you look. But I believe a troll know when he is a troll. So good luck.

@Duke_Nasty: im sure the mods can track the ip
@Mercy_: i guess i can write hatemessages in all the marvel thread then. have u seen his posts.
I hope so to be honest in the past I thought Superman was lame probably by the movie superman returns (that was when I was not yet in comics) but I conclude that this isn't fair to the character so I'm going to buy the Action comics trade when it comes out. And an awesome movie should work.
no...I haven't seen anything from the movie that's made me thing otherwise either...maybe the trailer will do it but at this point I'm seriously doubting it....Superman is one of the greatest characters ever created and it really upsets me that some writers think that the only way to writer a good Superman story is by changing everything about him
@The_Tree said:
With Goyer writing, Nolan producing, Snyder directing, Hans Zimmer doing the score, and then the amazing cast of Henry Cavill, Michael Shannon, Amy Adams, Kevin Costner, and Russel Crowe, this movie will be great.
Goyer can be either good or bad, haha.

change everything = underwear to no underwear?
Until now, no one knows exactly what is going on in the movie, I'm pretty sure it will stay true to the character, the supporting characters in the movie has stayed the same and description about him still looks similar. Except that he stopped wear underwear on the outside, which you expressed you didn't like it. Perhaps you have snippets of news that you know writers changed everything about him, do share.
Other than that, I think he is still the kal we love.
