Topic: Superman Returns

Kevin Spacey's "WROOOOOOOOOONG!!" in the trailer killed me. I'm SO gonna go see this movie.

Actually, I was completely skeptical of this entire movie.. until I saw that trailer. Or more specifically, just that part. 

Definately gonna see it now.

I'm still going to be sort of skeptical about it till I hear a good explanation for why Superman left. That's going to be interesting.

His home planet was kerploding... or maybe he needed a break... or maybe Lex Luthor invented a type of kryptonite which has a short half life and covered the earth in it so Superman had to leave for a year or more.

Maybe he needed a break from pretending to be a geek when he could be making sweet sweet love to any women on the planet. He needed to fly around the universe to let off some steam.

Thats the most plausible explanation so far.

He surveyed Krypton for any survivors or information.

Kevin Spacey overacts... I never thought I'd see the day come...
Anyway, I can't see the appeal of Superman. He flies. He's immortal. It's not very dramatic now is it? He can do everything and he does it. Bleh...Spiderman can't take a bullet to the head and live, nor can most of the X-men or Batman. There's no challenge in being Superman. Like in the trailer he is hit by an aircraft wing(I think it was?). I mean, what could possibly happen? Unless it's a cryptonite aircraft wing, he'll be just fine.

Yeah, you know anythign they throw at superman is just going to bounce off. They could probably drop a mountain on him and hed be fine.

I heard it went down to Tijuana to party and only recently sobered up enough to stagger back to metropolis.

Considering the international trailer shows him take a bullet to his eye, yes, I'd imagine a mountain would be pretty easy by comparison. That said, Hyperion [the Marvel Comics rip-off of Superman] took a nuclear weapon exploding within feet of him and it only made him angry.

Not if you keep him entertained with toy trucks and building blocks. Then you could hypothetically never have him activate his power; he only does it when he's scared or angry.

...funny you should say that. hmmm.
Anyway, just saw the movie yesterday, and WOW. It was really good. I didn't even notice the time passing, and its kind of a long movie. Thats how good it was. I'd happily go and see it again. And sometimes, espeacially as superman, it was scary how much he looked and sounded like christopher reeves.

Personally, Superman is my least favorite superhero ever. I'll tell you why.

He thinks we're weak.

Almost every other superhero there's ever been started as a regular old human, and they were given super powers later in life somehow. Their secret identity is their super powers.

But Superman was BORN with "super powers." He has always been Superman, even if he didn't know it for awhile. His secret identity is Clark Kent. He hides among us, thinking the best way to hide is to act weak, skittish, shy, and clumsy - because thats how he sees us compared to him. It's degrading.

Personally I take Superman as an insult to our species, calling us weak and that we cannot help ourselves.
