It’s Wednesday again, time for our regularly scheduled open discussion post.
As usual – talk about whatever you like as long as it’s related to movies, TV or Screen Rant itself – just remember to play nice.

Well, from the movies, I don’t think Superman went after Lois, Lois goes after Superman, but Clark Kent goes after Lois while Lois doesn’t go after Clark Kent. That’s how I saw it at least. But yah, regardless, she should be able to tell, lol.
Well, going from the movies, he saves her life, which is fine, but then he goes and has a nice little chat with her on her own balcony. I mean, if we were doing this smart, he’d save her life and then try to never see her again as Superman unless he needed to save her life again (because she’s apparently pretty accident prone).
All in all, Superman is foolish for trying to have his cake and eat it too with Lois, and Lois is just plain stupid for not being able to recognise someone simply because they took their glasses off.
LOL, you’re right Joshi, I don’t remember the old Superman movies in such detail, I just remember Lois being all starry eyed for Superman. I’ve always thought Superman was kind of a dumb story/character because there’s no way he could keep his identity secret that way… But the movies and cartoons were still entertaining. Well, some of the movies anyway…
I was never really a Huge fan of Superman in any incarnation, he was always too powerful for me. That’s why I enjoyed Superman: Doomsday if only for the method in which he died, no kryptonite weapon or other mystical or overly sci-fi device, just some good old fashioned pummelling (despite him coming back later).
But really, how interesting can a character be when his main story is about fighting crime and yet he’s virtually indestructible, bullet proof, can fly, has lasers in his eyes… the list goes on. The only way to kill him is via radioactive bits of his homeworld, which, lets be honest here, if Superan were a villain, we could let them get away with such sloppy writing, but he’s the hero and yet they want me to care about a character that’s about as immortal as Wile-E Coyote.
Punisher War Zone is much better than the 2004 Punisher
LUCAS directing Superman? That is a BAD BAD BAD idea to whomever wrote that!! We’d have Lex Luthor telling Lois that he’s her father and Jimmy Olsen would have a Jamaican accent and the actors would all act like they’re wooden statues! NO NO NO!! Peter Jackson, on the other hand, is a VERY good idea!! I think he’d finally give Superman the treatment it hasn’t had since Superman 2.
