Still gives me chills to this day watching this scene, and how they actually scored it.
Don't think Gunn's ver. will ever be able to top this emotional scene with that robot Kelex. Hope he can prove me wrong otherwise

Actually all fall back on the Richard Donner thinking

If Superman is so powerful, the only way the threat and villians can be believable to actually threaten or kill Superman will be 3 other Superman or a group of Superman

Otherwise if Superman can't be killed , what's so interesting about the movie

Because sometimes you don't need to be physically brought down by an adversary.

It can be from within. Mental. Self doubt. Inner turmoil and dilemma. Needing to choose between a rock and a hard place.

Bottomline, Superman cannot be in two places at the same time. He can be fast but not fast enough.

Superman has weaknesses to magic as well.

DC needed a different approach as well. Instead of making Superman the first and only superhero on the planet we are introduced to an Earth where superheroes are prevalent. How Superman fits into this environment will be interesting.

DC has many interesting non main Justice League type characters. In fact one may argue that the big 3 have been over done already and boring.

But because Superman is the flagbearing superhero for DC, they had to start with his movie first. I do foresee more movies with non big 3 characters.

i dont want to see another Superman "origin" movie.

I am keen to see a Superman movie set in the current DC comic universe where he interacts with the vast array of other characters.

Gunn's strength is writing an ensemble.

Guy Gardner could be an interesting addition as well.

Having the Green Lanterns also opens to the cosmic side of DC universe. While it is not as rich as the Marvel one, there is potential to be tapped. Daxamites.

Legion of Super Heroes.

Was hoping to not have Lex Luther, so sick of seeing all the 101 ways he try to destroy superman, either that is doomsday, aren’t there other villains and storylines? 🥱

Lex is arch enemy. He hates Superman. Hopefully Gunn has a good reason for this which will be compelling.

Lex is like the one that goes around looking for foes that could hurt Superman. Sells them a reason why they should destroy Superman. Otherwise no reason out of the blue some super powered being would want to attack Superman or know how to hurt him etc.

Srsly. We need more Clark Kent. I mean the reporter for The Daily Planet.

Christopher Reeve had the best Clark Kent … goofy, absent minded … stuff like squeezing orange juice and not realising he pressed too hard and the squeezer would have crushed a normal human being’s hand … Lois Lane pulling stunt to try to make him reveal himself as Superman and instead he uses regular human being methods to save her … these are the things that they need to bring back.

Probably yes

Gunn's Guardians and Suicide Squad follows the formula

Marvel's success follows a certain formula of humor, some seriousness and the final slam bam fight scene

The Dungeons and Dragons movie was great fun simply cos they also did the same formula

I think way too many TV Shows did way too many iterations of Clark including Smallville and Lois as well

The first Superman was epochal cos it was Hollywood treating Superman like a real Hollywood film with real budget , script, real serious actors and all the works including music

So everyone remembers Christopher Reeves and the 2 Superman movies but so many Marvel movies out by now, we all forgot how many of them goes

Everything that came after Christopher Reeve was too much Smallville, too much Kent Family Farm, too much Jonathan and Martha Kent. And either too prequel-ly or too far ahead where he moves back to the Kent Family Farm.

Post-Christopher-Reeve, there was no Clark Kent the goofy absent minded reporter from The Daily Planet … the whole wear-glasses-people-can’t-tell-he-is-actually-Superman thing :s13: (which from the trailer looks like James Gunn is bringing back) …

So yeah, back to basics would be a good thing.

Lois and Clark TV show was about .... Lois and Clark
The newer TV show was also about Lois and Clark

It's actually cheaper and easier to do a Lois and Clark than a full on Superman TV show where it must be full of high quality CGI to be acceptable
