LeHah is there any chance you could upload Track #13 "Saving The World", please?
I have the rest of the score but I'm just missing that track. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |

Brain... hurts... lol. FELIPE NO |
I myself don't really like the idea of Superman having a kid with Lois, as I think that it takes away from his character overall, but I will see how they treat it in the movie. Hopefully well...
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Yes Superman III was pretty much crap and IV was one of the worst movies ever. III was so dumb... Superman fights a fucking computer and Richard Pryor... ugh... dumb. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

Using the Richard Donner film though as a jump off point as some "vague history" just comes from that it's pretty much THE Superman film that audiences remember even today. I mean whenever Superman is featured or parodied in shows like Family Guy or SNL it's always the Donner film from the Fortress of Solitude to General Zod and the 2 Kryptonian criminals along with The Phantom Zone.
In the meantime you can check out 13 minutes of behind the scenes "B-Roll" footage over at IESB: Right Click & Download The site also has 11short clips from the film too, no real spoilers: LINK Slightly related but there's an all new Superman: The Animated Series 90 minute feature on Cartoon Network right now. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
I like the soundtrack. Track #3 Rough Flight is pretty awesome. If the movie turns out to be half as cool as those 11 clips were, I'll be much happy time.

Due to all the positive reviews Warner Bros. has taken up an ad in all national papers to promote the positive buzz: http://supermanhomepage.com/images/s...wspaper-ad.jpg What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |

Too bad he is right about the Smallville comment. Truth. One cannot deny it after seeing what they have done in five seasons. Pure brilliance on their tight scripts in terms of the actors playing their characters to a T and story.
I like how people randomly say that smallville pisses on the mythos all the time like they think they know what they are talking about. But whatever. There's nowhere I can't reach.

I've been following Superman from silver age comics, and the "superboy" comics in those days never made any sense. Smallville is really an accurate portrayal of Clark growing up in 2000. The work they did with the meteor strike being the cause of Lex's hair loss, his on-off relationship with Lana, the tragedy in the Luthor family that drives Lex to madness... All these things make more sense than the comics ever did. For instance, it was always "known" that the reason Lex had no hair was because of Superman. But how did that happen? I remember hearing a rumor of a high school lab experiment which sounds ridiculous. Never was a good explanation for this "idea" given until Smallville. Also, gaining powers slowly and having confusion about them also makes more sense then the comic "baby boy flying". Smallville does do away with the whole "Superboy in Smallville gains experience to go Metropolis" and focuses on Clark learning to build character which is what Superman needs in Metropolis. Makes much more sense. It also has some other oddities like Lois Lane showing up, and Jor-El on Earth, but these are pretty minor points to be whining about. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it.

Why are you talking about things you obviously have no interest in or knowledge of, Dayvon?
This was the story before 1986. In 1986, a writer changed it so Lex lost his hair in adulthood as a result of natural baldness. "lol metor shower" is not a better explanation.
And it was already done in 1986.

Yes, I do think that that comic you reference is a VERY lame way for the Superman/Lex feud to begin. Very lame. It makes Lex as just a ungrateful prick. Smallville makes it indirectly Supes' fault which seems like a less of a stretch and more of a blanket guilty by association. That seems more like the Lex concept than the former, and less boring than natural baldness. I do think slowly gaining powers makes more sense. If you aren't taught, how do you know how or that you can do something? It should be a clumsy learning process, not a unconcious doing. Secondly, it also fits with the ideas of Superman "charging" under the yellow sun. The longer he is exposed the more power he has. Check Supes' return from space in (EDIT) Superman #32, as well as death of superman series. I didn't say it was minor "in the story", but a minor thing to gripe about. And when has any offshoot ever been 100% faithful? And secondly, I'm currently watching through the Smallville series for the first time and am only at the end of the third season...

I've watched a few of the clips, and it seems to be completely devoid of the epicness that should come with the Superman character.

@ Interrobang
Obviously, you are quite upset about not only Smallville, but at some of the ways DC has changed Superman over the years. I was born in '82, and I really don't care a heck of a whole lot about THE ENTIRE Superman story dating back to the 30's. It's an idea, a myth, that grows and changes with time, which is why I stated that I think Smallville is a outstanding show that follows the Superman "myth" and fits well in 2000's. If you can't deal with different ideas of the Superman story, then stop caring, and read what you want over and over. And I'm talking 'cause I (like most people) have liked Superman over the years, bought his comics, and generally kept up on the comics as they have progressed over the years. I havent had access or information on many of the comics you want to reference, because I havent read them, don't own them, and haven't studied Superman. I ENJOY the story of Superman, told, re-told, tweaked and re-told. You should learn to do the same. And stop sounding so bloody emo.

That not even my fucking point, Dayvon. I don't give a shit about how Smallville or Post-Crisis on Infinite Earths is different than Pre-Crisis Superman.
No, you're just an idiot with worthless opinions. It'd be better if you just said that you were some douche that liked Smallville. That would have been barely noticeable on my radar. However, you felt the need to go further and prove that Smallville was somehow superior than the comics and you failed at it by not knowing what the fuck you were talking about. How ya doing, buddy? |
Secondly, I haven't even finished watching the whole series, and no I am not "some douche that liked Smallville" and comes in here saying he knows stuff about Superman. You assumed that. I started to watch the series a few weeks ago. I have liked and collected 80's-now superman comics for years. I think that Smallville is great. I think that the comics are great. I don't think one is better than the other. I think that some things in Smallville are better ideas then in the comics, but I also think that some things in Smallville are worse than the comics... But why does it have to be a big deal? I ENJOY and like both. Do you? You've been doing alot of assuming and flexing of your e-penis knowledge of Superman, all the while being demeaning, condescending, and an outright ass-wipe. Why don't you just let other people enjoy entertainment, and you can keep you self-righteous prick behavior to yourself.

Irrelevant.
It's not about enjoying things, you dense dolt. It's about you saying stupid stuff to justify your conclusions about how Smallville is better* than the comics. You are acting as if you are knowledgeable when you aren't. *No, I don't give a shit about your semantics. I was speaking idiomatically. |
