Why the heck is Super-Man wearing a speedo in the new movie? Is this why Tom Welling is hesitant to put on a Supersuit these days?
Considering Dean Cain wore a Speedo on
Lois & Clark[/quote] and some comic book artists have drawn the trunks like that (Lee Bermejo being an obvious example, since the movie costume bears the marks of his recent Superman costume design for Lex Luthor: Man of Steel), I fail to see how this can even be a legitimate point of complaint.
And since Welling didn't want to play Superman even before Superman Returns was a blink in anyone's eye, I have no idea why you're so convinced Routh's suit is the reason he's not playing the part.
'Brokeback Metropolis'?I mean I am absolutely no Homophobe, my brother is gay & the greatest guy in the world. But c'mon Superman? I just hope Brian Singer keeps his fantasies out of the movie.
Thanks for the bigoted hate speech based on absolutely nothing. We really needed to hear that. :roll:
I really wish they could have gotten Sam Raimi, he is so good, both his comedy/horror stuff & his "Spider-man", Probably the best super hero films since "SuperMan 1"(OK "X-Men" is fair, but it does not have the drama or excitement of the 'Spider-man' films, not even close).
Typical fanboy close-mindedness. Always go for someone who's already done a comic book movie, usually someone who isn't anywhere near as good as advertised. I am beyond sick of seeing Raimi, Nolan, and others of their ilk propped up as alternative directors. Is it REALLY that hard to think out of the box?
Even The guy who did the 1st "Batman" with Jack Nicholson might have been good too.
All right, now I KNOW you have no idea what you're talking about. Tim Burton wanted to change everything about Superman except the name. Is that really what you want?
I don't know, we'll see. Something about that suit though, ( & the actor) gives me the shudders , like when Bart Simpson has to wash his aunt Selmas feet. uuuuuhhh.
You just hate Routh because he's not Welling. You've made that clear before.
As for the costume, if you think a suit design that pulls elements from all over Superman's history is more offensive that Burton's translucent "see my guts" design or Borg-looking rubber suits, I have to question your qualifications for what is and isn't proper.
I am hearing other people saying similar things about it too lately. & Lois Lane a single Mom?? Clark kent wasnt even good enough for her, let alone anyone else in the world but Superman!
She cheated on Clark with Jeb Friedman in the comics, and spent the better part of a decade being an abusive wife to him. Lois as a single mom is nowhere near that bad.
I know what your gonna say, "superman left earth, she had to" I dont like the premise.
Lois started fooling around with Jeb right after Clark got BURIED in the comics. She didn't even wait before taking up with another man, and a scummy one at that. And she kept seeing him after Clark came back and dumped Clark for him, and then blamed Clark for his death. Again, Lois as a single mom is NOTHING compared to that.
She'd have NEVER lost faith that Superman would come back to her in the comic, & shed have waited till she was 99! & he DOES come back!
I'll take "I don't know what I'm talking about" for $500, Alex.
She didn't wait for him in the comics. She didn't even take a period of mourning. She hooked up with another man almost immediately, and a rather repellant character at that. Lois as a single mom doesn't even begin to reach that level of repulsiveness.
Honestly, I'd like to see what Brad Bird would do with the whole 'Superman' mythos at pixar.
First you want Raimi. Then you champion Burton (who wanted to destroy the character). Now you want Pixar.
Make up your mind.
As soon as you see real people wear these costumes we are used to seeing in the comics it becomes apparent how odd it would be in real life.
Not if the designers and filmmakers know what they're doing.
"Smallvilles" approach is the most realistic one, in my opinion.
Smallville skins Superman's character alive, bathes in his blood, uses his flesh for a chew toy and uses his innards for party streamers. No thanks. I won't tolerate a Superman without a costume, flying, or a noble characterization.
This is why the finest Superhero films were the Fleschier Bros 'Superman' cartoons. But Pixar could do the same thing, & potentially do it better.
Just what was the point of this rant, anyway? To say "Singer's the antichrist"? I've heard some ridiculous and fact-devoid attacks on
Returns, but this is easily the worst yet.
