I wonder about the likelihood that they'd consider casting Bale as Batman and Routh as Superman?

2/24/2007 1:16:23 PM

doubtful

this sounds like the type of movie that would sit in development hell

they need to make Kingdom Come into a movie

yeah that guy is more of the physical type i'd rather see play superman..the alex ross type

2/24/2007 2:16:13 PM

he seems to be a shitty actor though

the guy i'd really like to see is the Superman from Grayson

what little you see of him, he fits the part of a slightly older Superman right fucking spot-on

check it out, guy's perfect: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keowsZVnWjA

Since getting Bale and Routh is doubtful, and considering this would probably be an alternative to the current Batman and Superman franchises rather than being a part of its continuity...

Use the cast from Smallville. The show is going to most likely end after next year (season 7), and this way we get to see Tom Welling as Superman on the big screen without disrupting the current Superman franchise with Routh and Bosworth. I know theres a lot of people that would love this idea but theres also a lot of people that would hate it...but I dont think we need 3 different people playing different versions of Superman at once.

I disagree. It's not time for that movie yet (and you already know that I love the story). There are still many DC characters that can and should be developed in stand-alone movies--or at least in a JLA vehicle.

I understand that the story could exist outside the continuity, but I don't think the zeitgeist is ready for Kingdom Come yet. Superhero movies will eventually saturate the general market and some will grow tired of them--that is the time for Kingdom Come.

Hell, if it were me, I would make an Aquaman movie before I made a movie about any of the other characters; the underwater environment should be a setting too good to pass up--and this is my position despite the fact that there are a number of characters I like better than Aquaman. Anybody remember the TV show Man from Atlantis?

I agree. The guy in Superman Returns did a pretty good job, but he didn't quite do it for me.

You know they'll find a way to screw up something as cool as this.

2/25/2007 9:41:18 AM

i doubt it'll ever get made

I think WB screwed up when they continued the Donner timeline franchise. that rendition of lex luthor always was and still is horrible. It's hard to visualize the Batman Begins universe being the same as the Donner/Superman universe. Although, they'd probably merge easier than trying to merge the smallville universe.

I think singer did an ok job, but the material and plot was kinda limp. Would have been nice to see some patience on WB's part and work with adapting smallville to the big screen at the proper point in time. That would make JL fit in much smoother since we now have some likeable and I think, well cast actors (for JL). In the interest of taste, it might not be a bad idea to leave Batman out of the JL, since the universes don't mesh well and Green Arrow is essentially another incarnation of Batman.

i wonder what clive owen looks like bald and if he can do a good american accent

he might be a kickass luthor if he can do those

^^^ What, Kingdom Come? You're probably right.

But tell me why in hell there isn't an Aquaman movie already?! Am I the only one who thinks this live-action movie should be available on DVD by now?
