Will Superman Be Unleashed In The Sequel?

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A SUPERMAN MOVIE WHERE HE REALLY UNLEASHES HIS POWER. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A LOT OF ACTION. I DON'T WANT TO SEE HIM ACTING LIKE A "BOY SCOUT". I WANT TO SEE ANGER, VENGENGE. I WANT TO SEE HIM DO WHAT NO MAN OR MACHINE CAN DO.

I WANT TO SEE THAT "KINGDOM COME" ATTITUDE.

ACTION VIOLENCE ACTION SPECIAL EFFECTS GALORE. TAKE SOME OF THAT "SMALLVILLE" OUT OF HIM.

I feel that the superman trilogy should continue...Where superman has to face a real destony, where he has to face raising up a son, fight for justice on lex luthers creation, or fight something like doomsday like in smallville, make a simular scene on it, it will get alot of peoples attention, and then take care of lex luther by putting him back in prison or something. You should also put a supergirl in the movie too or make a separate movie.

I think Brandon Routh did a good job at superman. (note that i did not say great job). I enjoyed Returns as i did the 4 Reeve movies. a film entitled Superman Unleashed better be just that. i think they need to introduce a villian that supes can kick the crap out of, but still involve lex a little bit. it wouldn't be right to cast him out completely.

I'm with EdCarden on the Tom Welling thing. Tom has done the best portrayal of Superman since Reeves S2, which was the last really good superman movie made. Singer and Brandon totally missed the ball on the last one.

Whatever they do its gotta be done right this time as this may be the studios last shot at a Man Of Steel film. If I owned the rights to Supes (I don;t think the studio owns the character rights in total just movie ptions) I would yank away from the Studio any future chance of another Superman film.

I believe they should take this oppertunity to proivde some into/back groupnd on other DC Universe heros who would get thier own movie lke GL (GReen Lantern). There is SOOOO much potential with GL and with CGI what is the technology now exists to pull of a properly done GL film.

Lastly I really feel like they should give Tom Welling (Clark Kent on TVs Smallville) the chance to do his thing on the big screen. Other then the animated pieces, his potrayal of Superman has been the best since Reeves Superman Part 2. The Smallville show is about at its end (not because of sory line quality but sher number of sasons) and the Clark Kent character on that show is at the transition stage anyway.

indeed they are. we need a good superman movie. they got iffy after donnor's supes 2. if this happens it needs to be great. either way i'll still probably enjoy it because that's the kind of movie watcher i am. but i know that superman has the potential to be as good as the dark knight

As long as Singer is not part of the project I'll be happy. he made a mess of the last one. A reboot would be good or they should just do a movie that is as close to the book as possible. Everyone knows the Superman origin and they really don't need to go there. the creators of Smallville are getting it right.

The gun shot to the eye was the best ever clip I ever saw for any movie.

Kidder did a great job as Lois Lane. It was not a model contest and not everyone is suppose to be hot on these movies. I loved Kidder..she smoked and almost cussed, hahahaha. I do not want to see these so called super model looking women on these superhero movies. It ok for them to be beautiful unlike Mary Jane from Spiderman, eehhhh!

Superman Returns was a great sequel to the christopher reeve movies. the special affects were awesome. i loved when he got shot in the eye.

if they make a new one with a whole lot of action and a good plot, it will without a doubt be a hit

also remember, Singer did not know anything about superman. He worked with what they gave him as usual with Warner Bro. So don't hate on Singer. He did a great job for the start.

This whole Superman thing is getting ridiculous. Batman is my boy! Kick but and ask question later. Superman is also my boy because he stand for the justice when most of us will lose our head trying to kill the criminals. So for the movie. They Bryan Singer to hook up with the one who did Hellboy movies. Good story and visual.Superman can nor put up a good fight unless he fight someone like Darkseid ( That would be Micheal Duncan aka Green Mile guy.) We don't need another Chris Reeves..he did his part so let him rest in peace. Change up Supe and give him some testosterone. Routh don't cut it.

I hope the ban Singer from having anything to do with the next superman movie. Superman returns was such a disapointment. I hope the get a new Superman and not keep that brandon guy (nerd-man). he was the worst man of steel ever. thank the lord for Smallville.

They need to for get Superman Returns and start over.

I'm very firmly in the "Death of Superman" camp, I believe the producers should look no further than this particular masterpiece for inspiration! IMHO the poor execution (despite the excellent potential) of SR makes that instalment eminently forgettable, so whilst Billy Blume makes a good point, the overall lore renders it moot! The novelization I read had some outstanding sub-plots and character depth!

I also tend to agree with the others that believe another reboot is unnecessary, Superman is so firmly established that it has passed beyond science fiction into pop-culture itself, thus negating the need for retelling back story, the story can embark directly upon the issues at hand!

While I agree that I don't see a need for a reboot in the Superman franchise, I'm a little baffled by all the talk of adapting "The Death of Superman." In my opinion, the last Superman film already ran with that notion too much, with Superman in the hospital and all that, people facing the notion of a world without Superman in it. As a moviegoer, I'd feel cheated. That's not to say that this couldn't be done, I just think they have to wait many years before trying that, almost a decade (which is what Batman needed to recover from the fiasco of Batman & Robin), and I don't know that fans want to wait that long for another Superman film.

And, if they do a Braniac storyline, please let them use the Silver Age comic book version of Braniac. Or how about introducing Mr. Mxyzptlk to audiences. Anybody but another Lex Luthor story please!!!

Hey Brandon, I don't know, if you give Warner Bros the idea of the Death of Superman as the first film in a all new movie DC Universe, and they see the potential of all the characters, and most importantly, all the Money Money Money that could be generated from this radical idea of Superman dying, I think they would jump at the chance. After all, they could market it right from the get go that this is a three part storyline like Star Wars was in the first three fims. Hell, they damn near killed off Hans Solo or left Luke hanging from the very tip of the Sky City, those two endings left people hanging until the next flick. I don't know how old you are, or if you're aware of the old concept in films, called Cliffhangers. They were 12-15 part segments that made up an entire, what they use to refer to as Movie Serials. They showed them in the movies theaters during the 40's and 50's, and it would require the movie goer to comeback each and every week, to see what happened to the hero, which he was usually left hanging from a building, or run off the road, and you would swear that the hero dies, only to find out next week that he lived, and they showed you how the hero escaped death as well. Well, this concept could be done, and has been done, aka, Star Wars, and we all know how popular and important those films are to the movie going audience, young & old alike. Now, picture this, somebody at Warner Bros with some nads, doing the Death of Superman storyline, with all the other heroes in the entire DC Universe being exposed to the audiences that don't know who the Green Lantern and the Green Lantern Corps are, and all the little girls that would want to be like Wonder Woman, and the Flash, John Jonnz, Aquaman, Justice League(without the Wonder Twins please), Darkseid, Doomsday, Wave Rider, The Spectre etc..... Just how much do you think they will make on the toys & video games alone, never mind all the different movies and yada yada yada would entail. Warner Bros would be so busy for the next twenty or more years just releasing new movies and sequels, that there would be all new generations of fans created for the next century, all from the guy at Warner Bros Studios with the nads to say, let's go for it! Hell, it might even kick start the Comic Book industry that's been pretty much silent since Jim Shooter destroyed it with the Valiant & Plasm Universes and all the other universes that were created in the early 90's. There's just too much of an upside to a Death of Superman storyline that it's actually foolish if they don't do it.

yea you got a good point and they should reboot but not tell his orgin like you said everyone knows who what where why and how he is.

A reboot is unnecessary. If they want to, they could always make a Superman film set in a separate universe from the one the previous films were set in. They can reboot a franchise WITHOUT having to re-tell the origin. I mean, does anyone NOT know Superman's origin?

As for villains... Doomsday. The Death of Superman was the biggest comic book event in the history of American comic books. They won't do it, though, because they think the public wouldn't accept a movie where Superman dies in the end and they have to wait for the next sequel for him to come back.

If not, Brainiac could work real well.

I would like to see superman's stronger foes like Darkseid, Bizarro, Brainiac,Doomsday and Parasite these guys are better than same old Lex

No reboot. I mean, who on earth doesn't know where Superman came from and his origins and stuff.

Just finally give him a supervillain to battle already. No more Lex...Please.

What should be done with the Superman series of movies, have it go right into a trilogy, which would satisfy not only the fans, but the studio's want for a reboot. Do the Doomsday/Death of Superman triology of films, and this way, IF Warner Brothers is smart, they can have cross-over movies like they DC had with it's books. There can be a cross-over with Hal Jordan and Green Lantern, along with Wonder Wonder, Justice League, Booster Gold and, er...well maybe no Booster Gold(A late April's Fools joke)but it's easy to see where this one Superman Storyline can take Warner Brothers, as in the Correct way to introduce the main stream movie goer to the whole new DC Universe. And, as Yogurt the great from Spaceballs says...MERCHANDISING MERCHANDISING MERCHANDISING. SUPERMAN THE LUNCH BOX SUPERMAN TOILET PAPER........

I say they go for a reboot. The last movie was missing so much that we all wanted to see and starting over is the only way to get these movies on the right track. Introduce one of the major villans like Braniac, tie him in with Luthor and have Darkside come in at the end to set up the sequel. The world should be in peril at the end with Superman having fought the battle of his life. Not really impressed with Routh either, anyone have any other recommendations for the role?

@ Rob

Well I never let a critic influence my movie experience or a movie's box office gross for that matter either..and yes I am one of a handful of people who loved Revolutions but I also got the message it was sending too..literally, allegorically, and existentially..I think more people wanted to be hit over the head like they were with the first movie and when that didn't happen the sequels could not compare or measure up in their eyes.

Cheers

Well I'm glad somebody did :D

Afterall, it got owned by critics everywhere and earned less than half the rating compared to Matrix 1 & 2 on Rotten Tomatoes. It also made just over half the money Reloaded did in theatres and on DVD.

and Sally Field was ajoke Bill & Andy..Kate Smith was very fine ..she still looks good considering her age..Some women have timeless beauty..

Geez you guys need to get a sense of humor...and as much as you disliked MAtrix Revolutions Rob I loved it as much and probably more...

They just need to film the death and return, period end of story

Sorry Bill, as much as I love the first 2 Superman movies, to this day I still think Kidder was miscast. She PLAYED the character well, don't get me wrong, but she just didn't LOOK like Lois. Lois was supposed to be HOT and Kidder was NOT. She was more like Lois Lame.

Yeah, I know that was bad. LOL.

Saw it on big screen Greenknight,

I really didn't enjoy that movie.
