At least to me, but if I had to place a wager on whether or not I thought that he would get a shot at returning, I would bet against it.Chuck Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04529750105224374839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066888134509330432.post-49854975588434302362009-04-21T17:48:00.000-04:002009-04-21T17:48:00.000-04:00I don't know if Routh was good as Superman or not ...I don't know if Routh was good as Superman or not as he didn't play Superman. He played Christopher Reeve playing Superman. Just as Spacey was clearly playing Hackman. So far the best Lex Luthor has been Michael Rosenbaum, whose Lex is genius, dangerous and able to turn from sympathetic to sociopathic on a dime. <br /><br />Everything about the story stunk, such as turning Superman into a voyeuristic stalker. <br /><br />I think it is imperative that they forget Luthor for the next film. The Ultra-Humanite and swapping brains and human experimentation would make for a great villain. And, he's someone that has not been utilized in Smallville yet.cash_gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04016914226368450646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066888134509330432.post-17587646974579093582009-04-18T22:07:00.000-04:002009-04-18T22:07:00.000-04:00Hi
This was suppose to be a e-mail to you. But...Hi<br /> This was suppose to be a e-mail to you. But my computer won't allow it to be sent for some reason & I am not computer savy. It said something about pop3? Anyway I love your website! I googled artist Billy Graham & found your site. I looked through your Marvel B & W mags & Marvel Preview mags. I noticed their was nothing on Marvel Preview#9 the Man-God issue. I'm working on collecting all the original art from it. I have 16 pages of the 52 already. Once I learn how to use my scanner I'll send u scans of the pages I own, if you want for you or your site. I'm going to writting a article on it & interviews with Roy Thomas & artist Tony DeZuniga as well. I'd love to hear back from you. If you could, I'd really appreciate it, if you could start a site on it, so I could post that I'm looking for these pages. Maybe, someone reading it will have some of these pages or know someone who will. Thank you, hope to hear back from you!

Ok, here we go!! As a certain Octo villain, ...Hi<br /> Ok, here we go!! As a certain Octo villain, no not the Octo MOM! Once said Fasten Your Seat Belts! Even though she could easly say it too! First off, keep the original theme & use it a little more, it's classic like all John Williams beautiful & powerful themes! Recast the whole movie, if you have to keep Routh. Make him gain more muscle, & take more acting lessons. He sounded like he was just rereading Christopher Reeve's dialogue word for word! He also sounds & looks too much like Tom Cruise to me. His Superman looked too much like Superboy & acted like SuperWimp! Maybe due to the crappy script.Here's what I'd do is I was going to do the Superman francise.<br /><br />First I'd do a three movies.<br />#1 Back to the basic using the first two Superman movies as a spring board is fine. But have Braniac show up have him battle Superman. first coming to earth, crashing on earth. Either as a faked crashed, or because the New Gods were hot in pursuit & almost destroyed him. As the movies moves along we get to see all the different versions of Braniac since he keeps reinventing himself, modifying & stream lining himself. Until the end where we see him in his 1983 preTerminator version. Where he has flying skull mothership arrived from deep space finally. Almost totally destroyed by Superman, he emerges out of his Skull ship for one final battle with the Man of Steel. Facing the agony of defeat he flees earth. Superman in hot pursuit, he leaps through what he thinks is a black hole in space. Only really it was a Boom Tube. He crashes for real this time on Apoklips. Where he meets Darseid. Darkseid walks up, all we see is his huge boots & the echo of his massive feet on the cold echoing metallic floors of Braniac's guge ship. Darkseid picks up Braniac's Terminator looking Brain skull. We finally see a full body shot of Darkseid. Sitting upon his throne in his throneroom. Sitting in the great thinking pose. Braniac's skull comes to life. His eyes turn on & he saids "Greetings! I am Braniac the ultimate intelligence" " How would you like to help me kill Superman & the universes will be ours to rule!" Darskseid smiles goes HHHHMMMMM & starts to laugh. Voiced by Michael Ironside, just like in the animated series. As the camera pulls away slow, then picking up speed. We see the parademons, the human slaves & the firepits & eventually the whole view of Apokolips from space huge craters with fire bursting out of them.<br /><br />Part II It's Darkseid who was captured by Braniac & is breaking free from Braniac's first crashed ship. We got to see a glimse of him in part I, as Braniac was talking to him earlier. Saying soon you'll be free once again to do what you were created to do! He finally breaks free & we pretty much see the Superman vs Doomsday animated movie. But with a few more twists.Except in this version the Superman clone turns into Bizzaro, who really isn't evil just a little stupid. He befriends Superman & helps Superman defeat Doomsday. Where he throws Doomsday into the Sun. But Bizzaro escapes by being blown into a different universe. To be used later in another sequel, where we get to see Bizzaro world! <br /> Part III the Biggie Darkseid & Braniac comes to earth. Start destroying everything, Superman's on the ropes. Until all earth's other heroes come to superman's aid. Following pretty close to the 1986 Legends/JL mini-series & the animated versions also. We get to see Batman, Capt.Marvel, WW, Hal Jordan/GL, Hawkman, Blue Beetle, Plastic Man,The Flash, Aqua-Man, the Martain Man-Hunter, Green Arrow, Black Canary. But at the end the New Gods show up also & help defeat the para demons, & the whole Apokolip's gang.Any way this is just off the top of my creative head, that I just whipped up here. Of course it would have alot more twists & details in the story, characters & dialogue as well. But not too much to make it boring, too long or to cause the movie to drag.
