Yet More JLA/Superman Rumours!
hover board. To me it's simply the coolest thing I've ever seen in a film. Scratch that, now top of my wanted list for sci-fi movie gadgets is the hyper-sleep pod thing from Alien. Just put me in it and wake me up when all these Superman rumours are over! The latest info comes from Film Ick, and it's to do with Bryan Singer's plans for Superman: The Man of Steel. Supposedly Singer and writer Michael Dougherty have pitched Warner Bros their take complete with a first draft script and concept art:
There's a new Kryptonian character coming to Earth as a result of Supes' pilrgimage to Krypton that took place before Returns.
Lex makes a deal with "a new villain" (I read this as new to the films, not new to the mythos, and indeed I have some idea who it is...) in order to have Superman eradicated. This villain double crosses Lex and takes over Lexcorp (yep - sounds like Brainiac to me too). What's more, Jason is a key part in the plot to trap Superman and...The rest of the info I've left out as if true it's rather spoilerific, but follow the Film Ick link to read the rest. Personally I don't think Singer's sequel will ever see the light of day. The fact that the studio even commissioned a JLA script in the first place is a slap in the face to Superman Returns. "Yeah, we like your movie so much, Bryan, that we're thinking of doing something completely different with Superman next". Hardly a vote of confidence, is it? All the "buzz" points to JLA making it out of the gate first, and with Singer working on Valkyrie, there's no way he'll be able to get his Superman movie in before the strike.
