Interesting Quote: Dean Cain


The last incarnation of Superman was completely different than anything I did on Lois & Clark. It was kind of devoid of the two things that made our show special, which were humor and romance.

It didn’t have either of those. There was no humor and there was no real romance. I saw the movie they pushed. There’s no romance in there.
 
I’m sorry

Warners will push a Man of Steel sequel in 2014, Justice League in 2015


The Man of Steel racked up $125 mill this weekend. It's second place to Iron Man 3, but it's still good. In fact, it's good enough to greenlight a sequel for 2014... And Justice League film as soon as 2015.

Yes, DC Comics and Warners are trying to play catch up with Marvel. I'm really excited to see how this will work.

My Vague-Spoiler Free Review of Man of Steel


So, I saw Man of Steel last night and it wasn't bad, not great, but really good. This is a different take on Superman and his mythos, but in all it was good film.

I haven't done this in a while, but here is my vague, spoiler free review

  • Interesting take of Krypton. It's desert like and filled with weird animals.
  • The look of the Kryptonian council reminded me of John Byrne's work in his version of Superman.
  • The S mean something besides Super.
  • Look for the huge dildos, when you see the film, you will get what I'm talking about.
  • The flashbacks were fine, but kinda all over the place.
  • It seemed that Clark was always running from himself.
  • There were scenes that happened too fast, needed more time to flesh them out.
  • Henry's body is sickening.
  • Lois wasn't weak, but it felt like I didn't know her character.
  • This film was a mash-up of the first 2 original Superman films.
  • No kneeling.
  • This was gritty, folks died.
  • Clark was more Kal-El in this film.
  • There were a couple of DC Comics nods in the movie.
  • Henry does a great Superman, hands down.
  • The battle scenes were a bit much.
  • The city of Metropolis looked like Mars after the big showdown.
  • Superman is very confident in a Wolverine kind of way.
  • I can see how the Justice League film can happen after this movie.
  • And I can see why Superman would need a team.
  • It was nice to see Superman struggle with his morals.
  • Clark had a bunch of random jobs, he was basically in the 47%.
  • I can see more films with Henry as Superman.
Again, it was good, not great. Not Avengers, but better than Batman Begins. I do recommend this movie.

David S. Goyer is the writer for the Justice League movie


Well, well, well... The Justice League movie is a go and David S. Goyer is the writer.

Deadline reports:
Warner Bros Pictures is fast-tracking the Superman reboot sequel with its successful twosome already in place: Zack Snyder reprising as director and David S. Goyer repeating as screenwriter. Goyer’s deal is part of a huge 3-picture deal he signed at Warner Bros for Man Of Steel, the sequel, and Justice League with Superman.
But wait, there's more! During the Man of Steel premier in NYC, Goyer had some words for the Avengers:
They’ve got a little kryptonite pellet embedded in my heart and if I say anything it will explode, but I would be a very rich man for all the times I was asked that question. It all depends on how the [Man of Steel] does. I would love to see a Justice League film, absolutely. Put the Avengers on notice.
That sounds like fighting words.

Man of Steel writer would love to a Wonder Woman film


Interesting news from the Wonder Woman front. Man Of Steel writer David S. Goyer said that he would like to do a Wonder Woman movie. Folks over at ComicBook.com has the story:
During a Reddit Q&A earlier today, David S. Goyer was asked which DC heroes he would like to make a movie about. His answer might surprise you, because it wasn’t Justice League. Instead, David S. Goyer answered, “Hmmm…. Wonder Woman would be cool.” 

When asked why he thought a Wonder Woman movie hadn’t happened yet and who he would want to play her, David S. Goyer responded, “I think Wonder Woman is a very difficult character to crack. More difficult than Superman, who is also more difficult than Batman. Also, a lot of people in Hollywood believe that it’s hard to do a big action movie with a female lead. I happen to disagree with that. But that tends to be the prevailing wisdom. Hopefully, that’ll change in the next few years. Who should play here? No idea…”
Me neither, but it's nice to hear that he's into the idea.

'Man of Steel' will open door for more DC Comics Films


Interesting news on the DC Comics movie plans.

Man of Steel producer Chris Roven and screenwriter David S. Goyer dropped some teases involving other DC Comic films and character appearances in EW.

Chris said this about other characters entering the world of Man of Steel:
"[Man of Steel's] setting the tone for what the movies are going to be like going forward. In that, Man of Steel is definitely a first step. What Zack and Chris have done with [Man of Steel] is allow you to really introduce other characters into the same world."
David statement was a little different, but revealing:
"I would love to tell you yes or no [on Man of Steel leading to a shared universe], but I think it’s going to be more exciting for people to keep a beady eye out and find what they can find."
Then the final tease came from Jeff Robinov, president of Warner Bros. Pictures Group, he said:
“We’ll announce something in the next several weeks that will hopefully position the DC characters and the movies we’re going to be making.”
They better work these teases because the uncertainty besetting a Justice League film or any other DC Comics character is strong. Hopefully, MoS kickstarts DC's move game plan.
