DC Entertainment: No more Superman

http://www.supermanhomepage.com/news.php

So now it seems like we will see another Superman movie?eventually.

In other words it was shit (all of them were, except for the fanboys who take any crap with their favorite franchise’s name and call it gold), but it had a chick you like to beat off to, so you liked it. Lame reason to like a movie.

Jerry Seinfeld just lost his boner.

Oh wow , this is… unfortunate.

You’re just angry there were no giant anamorphic animals in those movies.

It’s not our fault you’d rather Kung-Fu Panda than Kelly Hu.

i actually thought X3 was an ok movie…

that said, contrary to what goodm0urning says, supes is pretty dumb…or at least he doesn’t think about shit first as evidenced by him being routinely baited into close proximity to some kryptonite adn getting owned by random goons.

supes would best be used in a justice league movie. and i’m not talking the animated series version, i’m talking late 90’s/early 00’s JLA comic version where every arc involved the world going completely apeshit. those white martians (as an example) would make some beastly ass villains.

honestly they should do a JLA the same they did the GI joe movie. don’t waste time worrying about origins and shit, just explain the heroes and their powers on the fly as they mix it up with the baddies.

With what thurst said, Batman>Superman

Without his powers, Sup would be a regular joe blow and probably get his ass kicked in a fight against Luthor

Well yes, but he DOES have his powers.
I could say “Without his brains and training, Batman would be a regular Joe Blow and get his ass kicked”.

I do understand what you are saying though.

As has been said earlier in this thread, I would like another movie to really show Supes as that ‘ultimate beacon of good’, by having a villian who somehow pushes him to the limits and plays on his extreme morals.

Yeah, I WOULD rather watch Kung Fu Panda than watch Kelly Hu flop around in terrible wire fight scenes with those lame-ass lee press-ons. I watch a movie, I want action. I want to fap, I watch porn. They couldn’t do Lady Deathstrike right? That’s the other thing I hate about the movies: they have to do their own takes on the characters, which are lame as fuck. the characters they don’t change are cool, but every change they made to established characters blew like a hooker getting time and a half. Biggest dissapointment by far was Psylocke, and they could’ve tossed in Marrow instead of the “ultimate asian” (spikes everywhere instead of just his hair).

Where does “No more Superman” come from? Cut down the drama, you’re not a mainstream media outlet for God’s sake. They have no plans, that’s it.

He’s a comic book character, his victory is guaranteed either way but at least giving him a decent villain to fight makes things interesting. Besides, there’s plenty of people who could slap him around. You don’t need a mindless, rampaging berserker but having some sort of confrontation beyond, “Oh HO! Kryptonite!” (which is what “outsmarting” him usually boils down to) would be nice.

That’s like me saying I’d rather watch “A Kid in King Arthur’s Court” than “Epic Movie”.

If it was only going to be more of the same crap they filmed last time then I think they’re better off not making another Superman movie. SR was terrible.

Oh that’s so weird, I meant to accuse you of wanting to FUCK Kung-Fu Panda instead of Kelly Hu, not WATCH.

My bad.

This. And Fox needs to go pull a dump truck of money to Singer’s house to convince him to save the X-Men Franchise. I would be willing to “forget” the third and give him a “do-over” lol.

Cant it be both?

You know someone else used that arugment with me about 2 weeks ago and I really don’t understand how anyone can make a comparison.

Superman- Given powers because of our sun, would get his ass kicked with out them.

Batman- Has NO powers and kicks ass because of all his SELF-INITIATED training he did and obviously his armor and weaps (not that he really uses weaps a lot). That isn’t the same as being given powers.

There is no comparison. Batman is the people’s champ.

For every time some idiot writer couldn’t come up with a better idea than reintroducing kryptonite for the 50th time, Superman has showcased a knowledge of applied science and innovative solutions that would rival MacGyver. He’s probably not as intelligent as some of the outright scientifically-minded characters (the Atom, for instance), but he’s a lot smarter than the typical superhero. When you have a perfect memory and can speed-read through every volume of the encyclopedia in less than a minute, you pick up a few things.

Batman has superpowers. His savant-like level of intelligence, 100% resilience to repetitive injuries that should rightly leave him crippled and in chronic pain within a matter of weeks, mental focus that doesn’t dull even slightly after going for days without sleep, an arsenal of technologically unfeasible miniature gadgets, a utility belt that cannot possibly hold all of them but somehow does, and his “intel” that essentially means he knows everything about everybody, all the time, without even paying lip service as to how… these are all traits that are beyond human. Literally, they are superhuman abilities.

It’s not that Batman doesn’t have superpowers. He has them. Unlike other superheroes, his powers have simply gone all this time without explanation, or even acknowledgment–the proverbial elephant in the room. Nobody talks about them, and everybody takes for granted that they exist. They are there by the grace of God, “training,” editorial fiat, or whichever you choose.

Imagine, for a moment, a Batman vs. Superman story that doesn’t resort to any of the contrivances regularly used to give Batman an inexplicable and patently ridiculous advantage over a vastly superior opponent. No “I just happen to have the kryptonite ring that spends 99% of its time in a lead safe in the Batcave,” no “the sun was fortuitously blocked off by some random bullshit right before we met in battle,” no “I somehow have access to some vital piece of information that is coincidentally coming in handy at this precise moment.” None of the buffs he’s been given so that he can artificially compete in a universe filled with super-beings who outclass him in every way. Just a random clash of titans.

You are telling me that Superman is going to lose this fight. Superman, who can bend steel in his bare hands, can withstand a nuclear blast, and has as much in common with Batman in terms of ability as a human being has with a fruit fly.

No…guy…he doesn’t. I mean I’m in disbelief right now reading this. It’s like if i said Obama is a white guy…obviously I’m wrong, but then I tried to bend a few things to make it seem like I have some kind of argument…when really I just look like an idiot.

So because Batman trained his ass off, happens to be very intelligent, and has gadgets and shit because he’s also rich…you classify that as superpowers? Are you kidding me?

Back to my original point, because this really isn’t a debate…there’s nothing to debate. This shit is fact:

Superman is nothing without our sun, or at least he’s portrayed that way when the big green stick is next to him.

Batman kicks ass without powers, and has proven to kick ass without his gadgets as well.

This is exactly why Superman sucks, both as a comic book and a character.

He’s unbeatable. Even when there’s Kryptonite involved, he just fights his way around it.

I mean, he’s completely in-DEE-STRUKTABULL and his major weakness is a gem that turns him into a regular guy from a planet very very far away that somehow everyone has pieces of.

Yeah, you can talk all the shit you want about batman, but at least he doesn’t sound like a character a 10 yearold came up with for a fanfic.

“Yeah, imprevious to any assault, only vulnerable to a very rare gem, mild mannered, brilliant reporter during the day, but when there’s trouble he takes off his clothes and no one recognizes his face.”
