Henry Cavill might star if Warner's plan to boost his popularity through supporting roles in other heroes' movies is successful.

It really is incredible how hard it seems to be to do Superman right. Even if it's not incredible, I'd settle for just good. Is it really that hard to capture the fun campy positivism of the first Superman movie?

If you want that just watch Shazam. And it’s not like a Superman movie needs to be campy to be good. Some of my favorite superman stories have dipped into the darker side of the character.
Camelot falls is one of my favorites. And I was hoping they would adapt that in the DCEU.

Honestly, just do what Marvel did with Captain America.

With the modern Superman movies, WB went "everyone thinks Superman is boring and unrelateable, so we have to give him angst!" And guess what? People disliked these versions (Singer's and Snyders) even more.

With Captain America, Marvel went, "yeah, Rogers is the cheesy, square-jawed, pure-hearted good guy. Let's play that up so that he contrasts with our other characters, who all have different personalities, and juxtapose Captain America's personality with the uncertainties of the modern world, instead of making the character himself angsty."

And people LOVE him. He's many people's favourite Avenger. No normies or casuals liked this character before they were exposed to him through the movies.

Just make him the goody-two-shoes he's supposed to be, and if the movie itself is good, people will like him.

His popularity isn’t the issue. WB not having any idea what they were doing with superman is the issue. Make a superman movie about superman and not nolan-verse batman’s super sidekick. You kinda did it with Capt Ameri-wonderwoman and Dude-bro underwater Thor. Superman is a hallmark character, he doesn’t need to be a supporting role in anything just be Superman.

To be honest, JJA could do it. Supers needs to less non-edgelordy and more fun. I think Shazam covered the campy stuff.

Any director/writer of a Superman movie should be required to watch Superman and the Mole-Men. That feeling Superman gives you in that film is how Superman should be: A paragon of good virtue and simply wishing the best for everyone. No Jesus imagery or just punching, but a sense that whatever he does he does it for the best of everyone.

Ignoring how the story bent over backwards to make everything easier for Captain America and never actually had him face any genuine conflict.

I mean I like winter soldier but I didn’t like how it was revealed that all of the uncertainties of the modern world was because of a secret Nazi society pulling the strings behind the scenes.

On top of that Captain America can actually suffered consequences for his actions that superman can’t. Because at the end of the day he’s a normal dude who can be overpowered. He’s not the endpoint of a my dad’s bigger than your dad argument. You can empathize with Captain America because he’s an underdog everybody can relate to an underdog.

It’s hard to relate to a man who can take a bullet to the face and shrug it off and has nothing mentally complex going on underneath the hood.

Basically the more powerful you make a character the more mentally Complicated and conflicted you have to make them in order to make them resonate with an audience. The weaker a character is the more you can afford to make them idealistic because they can actually suffer consequences for sticking by their ideals.

Not that any of this matters they fucked up with superman so badly that no matter how hard they try they’re never gonna be able to fix him. Not without a complete and total ground up reboot and because of the success of Shazam and Aquaman and to a lesser extent suicide squad and Wonder Woman? they aren’t going to.

So it’s superman is doomed to be to our generation what Aquaman was for so long.

To be fair, Winter Soldier took a lot of elements from the original Secret Society arc, but just made the Society Hydra. I think it actually works opposite to your observation because it makes Steve question what exactly he’s protecting and where he can turn to. Civil War, however, was a big fuck you, as was Ultron.

I’d actually be all for that. Given there have been quite a few stories where Lois got superman’s powers and those were actually some of the more charming or emotional stories.

>>115692664

Because force awakens was mostly him setting up for another film maker to take over and it made a ton of cash. And most people don’t consider rise of Skywalker his fault. Because he was mostly doing damage control after the last Jedi.

Basically Rian Johnson and Kathleen Kennedy got most of the blame from fans while he got off relatively clean because he was only there to do a job for a paycheck.

Force awakens had good set up for future movies it’s just what they did with that set up ended up not panning out the way they wanted it to. And he was not involved at all with Last Jedi.

I mean seriously the character has had such an abysmally bad run. That even his good comics and movies have been retroactively ruined. His Fanbase is toxic. Our world is more bitter and divided than ever in the American way he used to stand for is all but dead.

So seriously why are you a fan of him anymore?

There are ways, I think Superman is at his most interesting when he's discovering himself. Like him finding out he's an alien and Clark Kent's loneliness we see some of that in American Alien (and I think in Waid's Superman comic, it's the one where everyone at the Daily Planet gets invited to a party except Clark) also the fact that he has to control his powers and try not to hurt people.

The other thing is that you can have him do things normal people do but to a grander scale like you walk your dog at the park but he takes his Sun Eater through the galaxy. You sunbathe in the beach but he goes to the moon to sunbathe. Stuff like that.

Hell I know normies who didn't like BvS and didn't even watch MoS or Justice League and I've shown them All-Star Superman and Superman: The Elite movies and they liked those movies. So clearly the DCEU fucked up.

Maybe they should just produce a theatrical animated superman movie. I mean it worked for Spiderman Miles Morales there’s no reason it couldn’t work for Superman.
Tartakovsky was actually in the talks to direct an animated Superman movie for Cartoon Network a few years back . He ended up not doing the project and instead went to direct the hotel Transylvania movies instead.

If you had him direct a theatrically animated big budget Superman movie it would probably be the best one ever made. Regrettably given the absolute state of Warner Bros. right now that’s probably not gonna happen.

DC has always done better in animation anyways. because you don’t have to be dark because it’s made for kids, you don’t have to use a ton of money because it’s animated, and not live action with tons of CGI rendering.

Of course given what happened with Scoob maybe it’s for the best they just don’t make a superman movie at all .

For the record I enjoyed Man Of Steel but I think Batman V superman retroactively killed any goodwill people head towards
It. Which is a shame because I would’ve like to see a proper standalone follow up without the need to set up future movies ruining it

Michael is easily the worst of the three. Moffat already ruined NuWho beyond repair and Rey is shit, but she herself is a block of wood. Michael is a strong black womyn who don’t need no man that can yell and talk down to her Captain, can beat up Klingons, is good at everything ever and is called the best person by everyone, and is the super secret sister of Spock that Spock totally learned everything from because she’s just that cool. Fuck Discovery, fuck Kurtzman.

He doesn’t even need to in order to just repeat them. Abrams has no original ideas of his own.

I trilogy of three superman movies

> the first superman movie would be set in the 1940s. He would be low powered only about as powerful as his original golden age self so he could only jump over buildings and take bullets. He would fight imperial Japanese saboteurs, mobsters and Nazis. Main villain of the story would be a golden age villain like old school mad scientist Lex Luthor. It would end with him being exposed to kryptonite but instead of taking away his powers and making him weak or it would make him super powerful akin to his more modern incarnations. Based heavily off the original comic strip from the 40s and the fleshier shorts.
>Second movie would be set in the 1960s. Thanks for superman presence the world is now a utopia and things like the rise of North Korea and the Vietnam war never happened. Metropolis is a science-fiction city of tomorrow. It’s a silver age comic pastiche. here we would have superman as he is best known fighting alongside the more absurd villains in his rouges gallery against Braniac. Based on many events in the silver age but taking inspiration from All-Star Superman and “Whatever Happened to the man of tomorrow?”

>Third movie would be set in the 90s. it would be the darkest the trilogy. Taking inspiration from Death Of Superman, Kingdom Come, and “what’s so funny about the American way”. Main villain of the story. Would be Manchester and the Elite. But with lobo and doomsday swapped out for a few of the more boring characters. Superman fakes his death to show Manchester and the elite what the world would become if he let them do what they wanted in the name of “saving the world”.

Fuck this hack. He’ll just copy the beats of the Richard Donner film to coast off nostalgia.

When this bombs you know for a fact that they are never going to do another superman movie for at least another 20 years.
Given the absolute state of the character I actually would personally prefer that. At least that way I could still have the nostalgia of the first superman movie and the comic books without them consistently fucking him up in the eye of the public with failed attempt after a failed attempt

Why do they ignore Justin Lin as a director? He's been making the best superhero movies for nearly a decade.

It’s because whenever Superman is done, everyone wants to either reinvent the wheel or copy and paste Donner in fear of trying something else. Superman can be done right by people who truly believe in the goodness of man. Donner’s movies, even with their flaws, are beloved because they have moments that make you feel the heroism radiate off the screen such as “General, would you care to step outside?”
Singer just copy and pasted without ever giving you a feeling of Superman being a paragon of virtue, but instead a creepy stalker and marriage wrecker.
Snyder doesn’t understand Superman to the point where all he knows is to make Superman Space Jesus and make him punch.

What, is he going to reuse that script he wrote back in the early 00's where Krypton doesn't explode and Luthor is secretly Kryptonian?
