I know you are a fan, so it might be easier for you. Me? Feh.<BR/><BR/>Kiki - I'd watch it, but they probably couldn't call it Superman.<BR/><BR/>Sweets - to each his/her own. I've just never been a fan.<BR/><BR/>RW - I grew up a Marvel fan, but when I started reading again as an adult after college I found that most of the really great writers were working for DC. Also, by the late 60's/early 70's Kirby and Ditko had moved from Marvel to DC because DC afforded the artist more creative control at that time. They both did some really wonderful stuff (New Gods, Mister Miracle, Kamandi, Showcase, Shade, Hawk & Dove, etc...) in their time with DC.<BR/><BR/>Michelle - Just like I enjoy the thought of a real Vampirella out there someplace.

He's put into positions where that which he values over all else - human life, along with being seen as a human himself - is threatened.<BR/><BR/>If you don't go the Darkseid or Doomsday route (which could be cool if they did it right), you have to have a Lex Luthor that is absolutely brilliant. He sets up elaborate underhanded schemes and uses Superman's own powers against him by making humanity fear him. That would be a good film.<BR/><BR/>We just need someone to get that vision right.Avitablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08541188721193079705noreply@blogger.com
