Superman origins

Bornieo: Fully Loaded · 08-26-2008, 01:24 PM

Superman Retuns was pretty much a cluster F**k, IMHO. It has moments but like Alex says, the first one is the best. I read the Kevin Smith script for his Superman, and I thought that was pretty good. There are only really two "great" stories in the Superman mythos and that's the origin and "Whatever Happend to the Man of Tomorrow."

I think this whole "dark" thing is nothing but the Hollywood squeeky machine being oiled with cow dung.

I just read this article this morning! How funny that you posted about it. It is quite an intriguing origin story. Are you going to pick up the book?

I couldn't agree more. Batman, fine, that's how it should be. But i like my Superman heroic, optimistic and fun, thank you very much.

Before it jumped the shark a few seasons back, SMALLVILLE did a good job of reinventing the mythos, giving Clark Kent plenty of "weight of the world" problems to face, while still keeping the proceedings exciting and clever. That's how I'd want a movie series to go for this character. (Boy, that Brian Singer movie ... What was that!?)
