Kneel Before Jude!!!

I'm sorry, but Jude Law as Zod sucks. The article says he has a resemblance to the original actor? Where? I always thought that Zod would be much older and more experienced than SM, not nearly the same age.

Even if they do make a sequel, I doubt that I will see it in the theatres after being very underwhelmed by this last one. But, being the hopeless fanboy that I am, I will eventually see it on video.

Looks like a younger Stamp? Are they serious? :?

Sorry ~ but if they want to save the franchise general Zod should not be the main villain in #2 and they need to find a way to kill the kid immediately.

Braniac, or Bizarro Superman, Darkseid, or Doomsday are my vote.

My hope:

1) Kid gets splattered by villain early in movie (Random Cheers)
2) Superman goes into wild rage looses control
3) Get his but kicked
4) Falls back ~ regroups ~ realizes he’s become a small, petty, jealous stalker that has lost his direction as a Kryptonian and hero. Makes comment to the effect of ‘I should be about “truth, justice, and the American way**”’ to whoever he confides in.
5) Goes out with newfound level head and kicks butt but in the process we see hints that he has opened some sort of portal… …hmmm…

***I will also accept “and the way of the free and brave.” If I’m not PC enough.

Then in the third movie (IF there is one) bring in the other Kryptonians. Zod and Supergirl. Play up the ‘alone but not alone theme’ I could get into how I’d like them to develope that SG character but I’ll save that for another thread.

Pfftt… The last movie almost ruined SM for me. I’ll be looking forward to Batman…

You're right guys. The kid definitely needs to go.

I personally would like to see Brainiac as the main villian. He could kill the kid in his quest to destroy all things Kryptonian and then SM could exact revenge.

The sequel just has to be much grander than a cockamamie Lois/SM/child/whatever the hell Lois's other guy is named love triangle (square?). I mean. they are kind of stuck with it now, but they should try to marginalize it a little.

Oh, who am I kidding? They've already screwed this potential franchise up. I don't see anyway they can save it.

Can't wait until "The Dark Knight" comes out!!

Can't wait until "The Dark Knight" comes out!!

Hurrah... We're all on the same wavelength.

Random the "thread hi-jacker"...

Have faith, O' Rock of JD!!

How can I have faith in this franchise. They made SM a deadbeat dad for crying out loud! Let me see if I understand the pretimeline of Superman Returns.

1. Superman and Lois Lane have sex
2. Superman, sometime later, and without finding out if Lois is pregnant or not, decides to head into space to seek out Krypton.
3. While he's gone, Lois has a relationship with this other guy and let's him think he's the father.
4. Superman returns and starts stalking Lois and eventually finds out he's the kid's father.

Geez! I felt like I was watching One Life to Live rather than a Superman movie. Superman/Clark is the big blue boy scout. He was raised on a farm in Kansas. Ma and Pa Kent would not have taught him to abandon the woman he impregnated. Heck, he has superhearing and X-Ray vision, couldn't he had checked it out or something before he left?

It was just so out of character. Now they are stuck with the situation and have to address it somehow in the sequels. Which, if it were up to me, there wouldn't be any.

Ah well, I'm beating a dead horse here. At least we have a good Batman franchise. And maybe someday they will actually get that WW movie made. But knowing WB's track record, I can only imagine how they can screw that up...
