I'm disappointed it's the same damn movie as the 70's version.

Why can't they write something new?

Fuck, never mind Superman, why can't we have a Justice League movie?

If X-men can happen, so can that. Get on it, DC!

They should have just gone with a slightly different vision of Superman. New writers, new way of thinking, shit like that. Not continuing the same thing.

I think the biggest difference between X-men and the DC movies so far is that the X-men fight similarly powered guys. Batman and Supes fight nobodies with guns. We need some JL action or even some Green Lantern.

When you compare this trailer with the X3 trailer, it's like you said Jeff. Like looking back 3 decades.

They could have spiced it up by having Lex bring Darkseid to Earth or something. At least give him a fight.

Like that episode of Justice League Unlimited last weekend.

That would make a great movie.

And you're right, it was always tough to but Lex Luthor as a "supervillain" compared to Superman powerwise. That's why Superman 2 was a waaay better and much more fun movie.

Well, I understand why they have Lex as his nemesis. It's because he can't just confront him physically. But they should have Lex as less "hands-on" and having him use more super-powered flunkies like in the comics and in JLU.

When it always got right down to it the greatest weapon Lex had against Supes wasn't kryptonite, it was Supes' own moral code. As long as Lex stayed in the realm where human law applied, Superman couldn't or rather WOULDN'T touch him.

And that's the kind of thing they need to play up. Kidnapping is a little too hands on. Making deals, manipulating the more physically powerful with other forms of power...that was and is the best tactic against the Man of Steel. Can't confront that son of a bitch head on.

Well, at least it isn't a movie version of that 'Superboy' show from the late 80's.

There is a Superdog show my kids like. And don't forget Beppo, the SuperMonkey.

Maybe we could get Eddie Murphy to start in the remake of Superman IV, the Quest for Crud.
The Justice League cartoons have been great, IMO, and JLU brings out some heroes I had totally forgotten about.

You know what would be a cool DC movie? Miller's Dark Knight Returns.

margot kidder she isnt!!

yeah, bring on DARKSIED. or doomsday. you know what they really should do? its time for a DC/MARVEL crossover. that would bring everyone out of the woodwork. superman going head to head with the hulk, witha cast of 20 or so other heroes and villians weigh in. they ultimately have to fight a darksied/galactus combo at the end of the universe, with a special appearance by lobo!

Then Lobo and The Punisher kill everyone.

I will settle for a Superman/Batman movie.

What is wrong with people? I mean, you might think it's cool to call a kid that up until he's like 2 or something, but then that kid has that moniker for the rest of his days.

That's a real "Thanks a fucking bunch, DAD." moment there.

Well, at least Kal is normal enough. One knobhead who played for the local college football team named his son "Anakin".

The series finale of JLU on Saturday was TEH AW3SOM3. Me and the boy were stoked.

"Holy shit, that old guy is the Martian Manhunter!"
"Holy shit!"
"Um... don't say that, son."
"Shit, sorry Dad."
"Knock it off or I'll change your name to Ki-Adi Mundi."

Yes, it's the Nerd family.

My daughter and I watched that, too. The little bit with Supes unloading on Darkseid was TEH AW3SOM3.
