Rumors about the Superman Movie Reboot

It was big news last week when it was revealed that Zach Snyder will direct the Superman Reboot.  Well now rumors are running rampant with many other"possible details" about the new Superman movie. 

Here are the "rumors" being reported thus far:
  • The current title is Superman: Man of Steel (clever)
  • The very brief synopsis from the script is, "Clark Kent is a journalist traveling the world trying to decide if he should, in fact, even become Superman." (sweet Jesus this is the best we could come up with?)
  • The movie is reported to be more of a Clark Kent movie, not a Superman Movie (WTF?).
  • Darren Aronofsky passed on the project because the script is a mess (posts above make it sound like it is still a mess)
  • Apparently, Warner Bros. picked Snyder for  the script because it was rushed, is still a bit of a mess, and that Warner Bros. needs someone who won't spend months or even years trying to get it just right (i.e. Aronofsky), (God forbid we get it right after the disaster we all suffered through by Singer)
  • The studio must have a new Superman movie in production by 2011 or they'll be subject to potential lawsuits by the heirs of the superhero's creators. (well it's not like WB has anybody on payroll that could help clean it up.  Geoff Johns?, John Byrne?, Mark Waid? Grant Morrison?, Dan Jurgens?)
  • David Goyer's script is said to involve series staple General Zod, famously played by Terence Stamp in the first two "Superman" pictures, and Callum Blue on recent episodes of "Smallville". (really Zod? He's been recycled more times than a plastic water bottle.)
  • Lastly, hopefully the woman pictured at the top of the page is in it (no confirmation yet)
Those are the rumors we have found thus far and we will continue to keep you posted if we hear any more rumblings about the reboot.

Let us know if you have any tidbits about the movie you would like to share or any ideas!

Did Clark Kent Had a Sex Change Operation?


Most people think Superman's alter ego Clark Kent is a dumb disguise.  They question how a super reporter like Lois Lane doesn't realize that Clark Kent is really just Superman in a suit and a pair of glasses. 

We agree that simply putting on glasses is kind of a dumb disguise for Superman, but for Supergirl we think it works really, really well.

WB wants MAD MEN'S Jon Hamm as Next Superman

We already know that Christopher Nolan is producing, David Goyer writing and Jonah Nolan possibly heading-up the next Superman movie. But, we do not know the answer to the biggest question for the December 2012 reboot, Who will be the new Superman?

Since the confirmation of a new Superman movie a plethora of names have been rumored to become the Man of Steel.  According to Comic Book Movie, thirty-nine year, old Mad Men star (and Lex Luthor in hilarious funny or die video), Jon Hamm is being seriously considered for the role of Superman.

Hamm certainly looks the part of Clark Kent and does a wonderful job on Mad Men.  I just don't know if a 40 year old can pull of the Man of Steel.  Then again, Harrison Ford is still playing a bad-ass at sixty-eight years of age and Robert Downey Junior is doing a fantastic job as Tony Stark in the Iron Man films at age forty-five.

In the end I highly doubt Hamm is the choice especially if you look at the longevity of the project.  We must assume that Warner Bros. will want more than one Superman film.  We will most likely see a trilogy and hopefully at least one Justice League movie.  That puts Hamm at over 50 before the run may end.

All we can do is wait and see.

Laura Vandervoort has been confirmed as returning to CW’s Smallville for at least one episode of the final season.
Vandervoort will again play Kara Zor-El, cousin to Tom Welling’s Clark Kent and the would-be Supergirl,  last seen in the series’ eighth season heading off in search of the Kryptonian city of Kandor.
About time, I was getting sick of looking at Chloe.

Why Clark Kent & Lois Lane Should Not Have Sex

I know Bryan Singer's film Superman Returns allowed the premise that Superman and Lois could conceive a relatively "normal" child, but all comic book fans know the truth.  Superman and Lois were warned that creating a kryptonian and human hybrid off-spring would be disastrous. The only benefit from their selfish misdeed was we got one of the stars of Goonies.  Chunk with super powers is scarier than Bizarro.
