Superman Returns

Following a mysterious absence of several years, the Man of Steel comes back to Earth in the epic action-adventure Superman Returns, a soaring new chapter in the saga of one of the world's most beloved superheroes. While an old enemy plots to render him powerless once and for all, Superman faces the heartbreaking realization that the woman he loves, Lois Lane, has moved on with her life. Or has she? Superman's bittersweet return challenges him to bridge the distance between them while finding a place in a society that has learned to survive without him. In an attempt to protect the world he loves from cataclysmic destruction, Superman embarks on an epic journey of redemption that takes him from the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of outer space.

Gee, sort of sounds craptacular already. :(
 
There was a tealer trailer with the new Harry Potter movie I saw last night and it looks interesting. The look of the movie is very retro which surprised me. It may be a good throw back to the original movies.
 
Bryan Singer is the new Superman and it looks like Lex Luthor is back. Biggest mistake Superman movies made was that they never had recognisable supervillains in them that had super powers like in X-Men or Spiderman. Even Batman has been doing it properly.

It does sound supercrap to be honest, but I am/was a big Superman fan so I hope they do not mess this up even though it sounds like it was messed up from the get-go.

The trailer is available here:

Edit: the above link was in the article I posted.. I suppose this is the age of spoonfeeding though!

I like the villians being normal. Makes the story more close to home in the fact that a "Superman" is helping the normal person against the evils in our world, not some supervillian world. JMO.

Slightly more useful link: http://supermanreturns.warnerbros.com/

If you didn't suspect Bryan Singer was gay, you kinda know after seeing the guy in that uniform. If that doesn't scream gay man's fantasy. . . .

Does not look as cool as Batman Begins did....at least when the teasers were coming out. Looks lame to me IMO.

Brandon Routh is the actor who will be playing superman, Bryan Singer is the director.

I know, which is why I wrote what I wrote. I have no doubt Singer demanded some say in the final costume for the actor.

Natoma: be nice, bish.
 
Why can't they ever get a MUSCULAR guy to play supes? :rolleyes: They don't need to go hire an Arnold lookalike, but is at least a definition and muscletone on the man of steel too fukin much to ask for?

He doesn't exactly look like a twig in those photos from the site John linked. And if you've seen Batman Begins you'd know that Christian Bale was fairly pumped up for that movie, if he were any moreso I think you would pretty much have to go to a body builder type, which is pretty limiting for casting choice.

Christian Bale pumped up for "Batman Begins", Christopher Reeve pumped up for "Superman 1/2/3", as did Dean Cain for "New Adventures of Superman". Heck even Tobey Maguire pumped up for Spiderman, and it was difficult for him as he's a vegetarian. Was it too much trouble for Routh to spend some time in the gym with a trainer eating properly for a few months in order to put some definition into the character's physique?

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!

I shall be busy for the rest of the night. Seeing that picture of John again did not help.

Oh, and here's something the new Superman has over his predecessors:

That's right. The 'S' logo on his belt buckle.
