I'm not really pushed on anyone in particular as long as they bring a passion to the job and will be allowed to be their vision to fruition without studio interference. Mad to think the sequel to MOS will have taken 6 years to get here.

Think a few of the roles were cast and everything before it got canned. I think one thing the films have gotten right so far has been casting, don't think anyone was wrong for their roles (haven't seen SS yet though).

Penn wrote: » I wonder if the story will explore how Superman is kind of like a god to normal people. Snyder and Goyer kinda touched on it by mentioning it about every 43 seconds in MoS1 and BvS, but since it's already been shoved down our throats, may as well push it down into our stomachs so we don't choke on it. In all seriousness though, I'm glad Cavill is getting another solo film. I do think he's capable of pulling off a proper Clark/Superman dichotomy and hasn't been given a proper chance to do so yet. Of course the only fear is how they'll fix the storyline of Clark being dead.

Dial them way, way back and just hope Wonder Woman is the film to belatedly kick the movie universe into gear.

I know they were not perfect movies but I still think they didn't deserve the level flack they got from some. I haven't seen SS yet. One concern I have is that it did strike me from the WW trailer is the fact that she seems to be fighting against normal human men. Now, WW is up there with Superman in the power stakes (not quite as powerful, but still should swat humans like a fly), so I'm wondering how they can reconcile her fighting humans with being able to take on a creature like Doomsday...

To be honest, they don't even need to have any real reason he comes back. He's a solar battery, and the more he's charged the more his healing factor kicks in. He is currently underground in soil and they could either go a) Someone has the bright idea that exposing him to sunlight might awaken him from his "coma" b) If you want to be more esoteric he absorbs the nutrients and stored light in the plants around him, and you could add a Gaia angle to his Superman-as-Jesus thing going on.

techdiver wrote: » Sorry, that wasn't the point I was trying to make. I was saying that it's odd that she is fighting against humans in hand to hand combat. It would be like Superman in the fist fight with a human. It doesn't fit with her abilities if you know what I mean.
Penn wrote: » Apologies, I don't mean in terms of how Superman comes back to life, I mean how they explain how Clark has come back to life. Perry White and Jenny were at his funeral. Everyone Clark knows (who don't know he's Superman) knows he's dead. Given Clark & Superman died at the same time, if they both come back to life at pretty much the same time too, how do they explain it? The reason no-one thinks Clark is Superman is because of their completely different personas. In BvS, Clark's persona wasn't all that different from Superman's. If they both come back to life, Perry White (and pretty much everyone at the Daily Planet who knew Clark) would have to be an absolute idiot not to cop that Clark is Superman. My worry is they'll largely just abandon 'Clark Kent' and not have him as a journalist. They'll just have him as Superman for the majority of the film. I think that'd be a real shame.

Doctor DooM wrote: » Yeah I totally misunderstood you, and you know what? There'd be some great comedy in trying to bring Clark back, if they wanted to do that angle. I can't see it though, I'd have the same worries you do.
techdiver wrote: » Yeah, I think they should have "shelved" the Clark dying part of the story somehow. Then if Superman came back Clark could resurface having just been missing or something like that. I know it would be full of plot holes, but they are backed into a serious corner now with Clark. As far as I'm concerned, Clark as a character is just as important as Superman. In the Extended cut we got to see him being a real investigative journalist and expand on his character. It would be a shame to loose that whole side of his character.
Doctor DooM wrote: » It's an old adage that Bruce Wayne is the mask Batman wears and Superman is the mask Clark Kent wears. He's totally an important character. I can't remember, did they establish Clark's body as being found? They could do a whole "oh he took a knock on the head and he's been lying in hospital as a john doe for months" angle if not... I'd agree losing him would be an awful shame.
techdiver wrote: » They did indeed. Open coffin at the Kent home for his funeral and all, so there is no getting away from that. I think they completely ****ed up that story arc! They have to bring him back somehow. You can't have one without the other. I'd hate to be the writer who has to fluff his way through this one!
