Lois & Clark Forums Forums General Discussion Superman Related Man of Steel sequel

Sorry, forgot the "h" (my keyboard is now missing four keys, gotta get it fixed...) John Stewart Plus, he was the one in the JL/JLU animated series, so he's my favorite.

Edit: Also, I was just researching and heard there might be a Captain Marvel movie in the works...?

That's interesting to note, but it doesn't ease my fears. My concerns don't center on who plays Batman, but the overall feel and plot of the movie. Nolan's earlier version of Batman and Gotham was extremely grim and violent; I can't imagine that that would change just because of a change in actor. I know there is going to be some violence in a Superman movie, but I don't want it to dominate the movie. MoS had at least 15 minutes of violence that could easily have been cut and the movie would actually have improved immensely. I fear that if Batman is introduced, the sequel will probably have closer to an hour of superfluous violence.

Agreed on both counts.

Amen. I'd add to that that for the movie to work for me, I MUST see Clark (and the rest of Metropolis, but especially Clark) dealing with the psychological aftermath of him being "outed" and of him killing Zod.

I agree with you entirely, but I fear that the studios won't see it that way.

Here's hoping I'm wrong,

That wasn't just funny -- it was hysterical. It actually had me quite literally laughing aloud -- something that videos rarely make me do.

Thanks for sharing that, Mouserocks,

I wonder if the idea to do a Batman/Superman movie was fairly recent. I say this because other than the Wayne Enterprises satellite, which was very subtle, there weren't any hints to Batman in "Man of Steel." The movie didn't even have an additional scene after the credits. I was thinking the other day that a perfect way to set up the next movie would have been to show an after-credits scene where Perry tells Clark that his first assignment is to cover Gotham's vigilante.

I really am looking forward to this next film as well as the proposed Justice League film, but I hope that the plans to feature superhero team-ups don't stop them from making sequels that just revolve around Superman. I think there are still a lot of great Superman stories that have yet to be told in the films, and it would be a shame if we never get to see them.

There have always been a lot of fans wanting a "World's Finest" movie - there are plenty of fanvids etc. around, and of course this is a common teamup in the animated series etc. and in comics. My honest feeling is that if it's done right it's going to be well worth watching.

I still think we really do not know enough to say much about the film. I am trying to be hopeful by focusing on the know fact that Lois, Perry and Martha will be in the sequel.

The "How It Should Have Ended" folks have a new video out in which Superman and Batman discuss the upcoming sequel to MoS.

Happy viewing.

Joy,

So many hysterical video links! Thanks for sharing these

There hasn't yet been a lot of discussion on who the villains of the movie will be. I think we'll probably get one Superman villain and one Batman villain. Lex Luthor and the Joker seem like likely candidates, but I was hoping we'd get at least one villain who hadn't appeared in a movie before.

I hope they have all the villains be Superman Villains. One of the comics/animated films they have talked about looking to for inspiration had Lex and Metallo as the villains.

I just hope we get more Lois and Clark kissing scenes. And hopefully Lois and Clark on a date. Maybe they can even go for true hilarity.

Lois:So Clark, are you taking me out to dinner tonight.

Clark (whispers, so no one else can hear):Lois, you know I have to go to the Ceremony in Sweden.

Lois:And you can bring a date.

Clark:What, you are already too connected with Superman. If you show up as his date, ever villain on the planet will be after you.

Lois:I won't come as Lois. I will come in disguise as well.

Clark:This isn't going to work.

Lois:Sure it will. You didn't recognize me undercover exposing Costmart's fraud last week.

Clark:Of course I did, I just didn't want to blow your cover.

Lois:Likely story, Likely story.

Metallo would be a good villain for the movie. Using him would make for a good way to introduce kryptonite, and since he's powered by kryptonite, I could see some really good fight scenes between him and Superman. Since there was a lot of action in "Man of Steel," it would make sense to choose a villain who could make for a few good fight scenes, and Metallo would be one of the villains who'd make for a good threat to Superman. I'm sure one of the things that will be considered when they pick out the villains for the sequel is who can actually go toe-to-toe with Superman.

I just came across this while procrastinating on my writing....
