which means Lois was a complete whore to hook up with a guy that quick thing Singer did.


I was with your post all the way until you wrote this. Did you really need to refer to her as that? So a woman hooked up with a guy, had a kid, big whoop. It doesn't make her a whore. I expect better from someone who is a bit more well spoken than some other users on this board.


Wow that was an old post.

Well I can't even find it but I think I know what I meant by that.

Given the age of Jason and the fact that Superman Returns is supposed to have taken place after Superman 2 then it's suggested that Jason is the child of Lois and Clark after the night they spent together in the Fortress of Solitude.

Superman Returns takes place after Superman has been away for 5 years? That means soon as Superman 2 ended he left, came back and somehow the planet went from 1981 to 2006. Anyways that gleaming fact aside as soon as Superman left and Lois was pregnant with Superman's child she had to have hooked up with that other guy.

So the love of you life got you pregnant and before you can realize your pregnant you have sex with some other guy, realize you are pregnant and decide not to have a child out of wedlock so you marry bachelor number 2.

May have been strong word to use (whore) but the way the script is written it makes Lois look like she's only doing things out of need and not love. She is pregnant and needs to find a man so she has a one night stand and somehow marries the guy just as a cover? WTF is going on? I know I'm reading way to deep into the story but when you think about it you have to ask yourself "What is this current relationship?"

Just another weak point about Superman Returns. I WANTED to like this movie, I still want to like it, but I can't. I still try to watch it because I want to like it, but after the plane rescue, I'm over it.

So back to the subject. Is a woman who gets pregnant out of love and has sex and marries a guy out of need a whore? No, I was wrong for even using that word my apologies.

But it's not who Lois Lane is, she's a stronger person than that. If Lois Lane could get pregnant by Superman and he left, she would be a single mom and wait for him to come back.

But I do think Michael Dougherty, Dan Harris and Bryan Singer should never even mention Superman again.

Well I'm happy for the guy, he set a goal and achieved it. I'm sure it will fade in time but there's nothing wrong with it.

I can't believe I became a Ranger Qualified Infantry Officer in the U.S. Army. Thinking back to when I was a private, I didn't think I was good enough to do it, but I was. I stare at my Ranger Tab or when I get saluted by a private and think to my self "Wow I can't believe it, I used to be that guy, how did I get here?"

Set a goal, achieve it and get giddy about it.

I have a question for my fellow Superman fans. Do you guys think they'll incorporate the classic ripping open of his shirt to reveal his "S" at some point in Man of Steel? It's something I haven't really thought about up until now, but I would think they would. Thoughts?

I hope so, but we don't know the story, Clark might not become a reporter until the end of Man of steel.
I have always thought how does clark wear the superman suit under his work suit, where does he put the boots and cape?

I've always wondered about that also, Lois. Especially the cape, since it's going to be rather large in Man of Steel. I'm really hoping we get a new official picture from the production before the end of the year. Fingers crossed on that one.

I don't think there's an inherent correlation between the shirt ripping and Clark being a reporter.

Anyway, I would suppose they could do it, but it's not necessity.
Easy, miss. I've got you.

Well the whole suit under street clothes thing may be done and over with. Maybe. In the last issue of Superman Clark has his sleeves rolled up and his collar unbuttoned, but he goes in the bushes and comes out in the suit.

Is this part of the whole law suit? I was under the impression that the armor was a because of the law suit in a round about way. Because the original suit was tights so DC/Warner was forced to change that. IDK.

I tend to think they are going the same direction for the movie. It looks like a tight fitting armor made of small plates with gauntlets on the sleeves, the designs on the back and legs. I may be way wrong on this, it's just my speculation.

But I tend to think ripping the shirt open has become too cliche. When I saw Spiderman and he ripped his shirt open several people whispered "like Superman"
But then again people almost expect it.

Is it just me or does Henry Cavill look a lot like Tom Welling in some pics?

He reminds me more of Christopher Reeve than Tom Welling.

The whole ripping the shirt open thing needs to go. It's too cartoony and makes it a bit too silly. Someone who can move at super-human speed can just carry the costume around in a briefcase or backpack and change really fast when the time comes.

Wearing the suit under your clothes would be ridiculous. The cape would create a bulge in your clothing that would definitely draw attention to you. Also there would be a substantial risk of being caught in some other way. What if someone spills coffee on you or something else happens to make you have to remove your shirt? You would instantly be in a bad situation.

Wearing the suit under his clothes is ridiculous actually.

That may be true, but the whole idea of a super powerful alien protecting the world is pretty ridiculous, too, when you break it all down. Pfft

The shirt ripping thing is pretty iconic but yeah, when you think about it, pretty stupid. That cape would never work under all those clothes, and one thing I've always wondered was, does he wear his boots under his shoes and socks?! That part never made sense. I don't know if they'll ever go so far as to say that he carries his stuff in a pouch in his cape, as they explained during the Silver Age comics, but I doubt it.

Ok, I'm going to address this. I'm not really focusing on your comment because I know you were kind of kidding around but there is a general practice that I'd really like to address.

A lot of times, when some one suggests that they should make an alteration to Superman in the name of believability or plausibility, they get that response. "Well the story of a high powered alien protecting Earth isn't believable or plausible anyway". As if that means that leaving ridiculous things in the plot or in the film world is ok.

Yes; this is a far-fetched story that forces you to use your imagination but that doesn't just mean that anything goes. Why stop at having him rip open his shirt? Why not have him spew rainbows out of his nostrils? Oh, that's right, because it would be ridiculous!

There's nothing wrong with trying to make a Superman movie that isn't ridiculous!

It all really comes down to the degree to which you're willing to suspend your disbelief. I can suspend mine for Superman's suit under his clothes because it's a trifle compared to what else I have to suspend by disbelief for in the mythos. I couldn't suspend it for rainbows shooting out of his nose because that isn't the nature of the character. If a character was developed that could shoot rainbows out his nose, you'd have to suspend your disbelief to enjoy it. Ultimately, if you're willing to suspend disbelief for something as ridiculous as a flying alien, something as trivial and used for the sole purpose of the audience as the shirt ripping seems like a piece of cake.

I can understand people's criticism of it because it wouldn't be practical to wear a suit with boots and a cape under your daily planet garb. But having said that, I'd be pretty disappointed if the movie didn't contain a shirt ripping scene. I believe its iconic and one of the things Superman is most famous for..instantly recognisable worldwide. I have seen, over my many years, many satirical cartoons in respected newspapers regarding sports and politics with someone who has done something awesome ripping their shirt open, which is the obvious reference to Superman. If we lose that, I'll be sad.

On a lighter note, the quote from above..."Why not have him spew rainbows out of his nostrils" made me think that maybe they should go the "Braveheart" route of "Fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his arse." ??? Smile
His name is Kal-El. He will call himself Clark Kent, but the world will know him as Superman.
