well that explains why the studio keeps making noises about wanting to change the costume. If they can 'brand' a new costume to the character they can circumvent a big aspect of that '99 legal decision.

I'm not familiar with him at all, but the thought of getting someone who grew up in another culture- one not dominated by American, or more significantly, Western pop material, might be a very good suggestion. Someone like that might be able to see the mythology with fresh eyes and key in on...

As the early seasons of Battlestar Galactica illustrated- drama is conflict, and good drama is finding all those major avenues and tiny side streets of conflict that would spring up from any given 'fantastic' situation. I don't need or want wall to wall action either. The next film needs some...

I thought Kidder embodied her perfectly. Up till that point she was a more or less one dimensional character. Kidder gave her some quirky pizazz that I now can't begin to disassociate from the character. Hatcher and Bosworth, despite being more physically attractive, I felt lacked that essential...

Warner is clearly anxious to get Singer back and locked down with this ...just as soon as he's fixed Vakyrie. Assuming, of course, he can figure out what's wrong with it in the first place. And if he can't-since Cruise's stock is pretty low right now, he should at least be able to shift the...

Just as long as they directly continue the current storyline. I for one can't wait to see the further adventures of Jason, the bastard son of Krypton.

as was pointed out earlier, it was delivered mostly for the purpose of being the set-up for a punchline. I would also think it's inclusion was for the benefit of generations watching the film, who had grown up with George Reeves (in fairly unsophisticated 1/2 hour episodes) as the only live...

I agree with that. But, frankly, I just find that fact embarassing ;)

I think people forget that Lois mocked the "American Way" sentiment in the first film- "you're gonna end up fighting every elected official in this country". I think very few people in 1978, after the things that had happened for the last 15 years, were not chuckling in sympathy with her...

It does seem to be more prevelant with episodic material. You can deviate for one ep to focus on the inner struggle of the main character, and then next week its back to the regularly scheduled wrestling matches. I think it could work for a single theatrical feature- but it would take plenty of...

to tie into my earlier off topic comments- and make them on-topic, I would say that the 'Normal Again'/ Supermans Birthday Surprise theme is what I would envision as a strong opportunity to introduce a character like Mytzptlyx. A character that seems campy when you first drop the name, but who...

slightly OT (but since it was already brought up...) I watched all but the last two eps on the first disc of JLU. Even though animation tends to leave me cold (especially the stiff, low budget network kind) I really enjoyed what I saw. So much so that I'm going to keep the copy I ordered from...

I have the first disc of JLU coming in from Netflix (probably today!) and am looking forward to seeing it.

Brainiac should have been the villan of the first film. Amazingly enough they would have had to change very little to accomplish it to. Braniac (use the Timm version of the character and make him the Kryptonian AI super computer) attaches to the ship as he looking thru the ruins. Show Kal in...

I was never a big fan of the animated series, but in the pilot, the one idea I dug very much was that Braniac was the main CPU for Krypton and thru A.I.'d hubris developed a grudge against the house of El (and also being a machine was able to flee Krypton and survive). I think a scenario like...

if, after 29 years, two loving parents, several infatuations, many friends, and the respect, awe and gratitude of the majority of the people he comes into contact with- if after all these Superman doesn't already have a 'strong connection' to earth and humanity, I'd say kick him off the planet-...

The idea of turning Richard White into some sort of villan seems to me to be about as cheap and cliched an idea as having the kid (or Richard) be a sacrifical lamb in the next film. But thats basically the corner Singer painted this set of characters into. No one is going to settle for stasis in...
