If you’re going to make a Superman movie where he doesn’t fly, you might as well go the Joker 2019 route where you try to tell a character drama under the auspices of a superhero film. Make it into an All The President’s Men newspaper journalism movie about understated introvert Clark Kent trying to uncover corruption in the midst of a chaotic world on the brink of collapse and only hint that the superhero appearing on the television screens is actually the same person as the character we’re following. If you want an action film with a Superman who doesn’t fly or, at the very least, leap over tall buildings in a single bound, there’s almost literally no point. It’s a project doomed for failure. If you aren’t gonna at least reinvent the wheel, you’re just gonna fall flat on your ass next to a bicycle seat and some pedals.

[@neganstains5745]

That would've been an excellent pitch for Man of Steel. The journalism aspect was thrown in . Clark Kent's drifter period could've been about him becoming a war journalist who has a knack for survival (using his abilities for money) and having witnessed countless atrocities, decides to do something about it.

It's ashame Cage gets too much hate now and is literally just a joke for films.

Yep. Although he later tried to claim it was for John Cage.

[@TheNameisPlissken1981]

The real reason Jon Peters liked to have stories read to him is because Jon Peters is extremely dyslexic and he didn't want anyone to know because he thought they would take it as a sign of weakness. Once screenwriter Joe Ezsterhas refused to let Peters take Joe's script Foreplay back to his house so his assistant could read it to him while Jon lied on his couch, closed his eyes and envisioned it. Joe even laughed at the idea which infuriated Jon Peters! Joe watched as Peters karate chopped Joe's marble coffee table, breaking his wrist in the process!! Joe later said, if he had known Jon was dyslexic he probably would have let him take his script home. FYI - Joe's Foreplay script sold for big money (over a million) so Joe wasn't letting anyone take the script home. They had to read it at Joe's house if they were interested in buying it.

[@wrybreadspread]

@@TheJim42069 You bring up a good point. My recent travels online include a dialog with a fellow Tolkien fan about Aragorn beheading the Mouth of Sauron during Return Of The King...actually there're 2 factions...one is that Aragorn didn't do that in the book because that would be an egregious breach of protocol. The other is that he's bad-assed, and that's its own rationale. There's also a legendary profanity-laced rant by Zack Snyder how Batman fans need to "wake the f*** up" and accept the fact that the old prohibition against taking life, or even firearms simply isn't practical anymore...there's also a video on Twitter where where the crowd absolute erupts in applause and cheers at Zack's statement. And me? I'm an old stick in the mud who still recalls the Lone Ranger never shooting to kill...or Lee Falk's The Phantom, for that matter. I remember being frustrated as a kid that Disney's Zorro never dispatched his opponents like Errol Flynn's Robin Hood did the Sheriff of Nottingham.

So I had to come back to this video after seeing The Flash movie tonight. I can’t believe we got Nic Cage and a Giant Spider. It actually… looked pretty entertaining to be honest, and I say that as a huge critic of Peters’ works and personality. I’m honestly shocked at how much I liked that snippet, lol. Now a whole movie… who knows. But get Nic Cage in the DCU/MCU nowww.

[@clonedavenger]

I want to see Superman Lives so bad after that cameo man. I think even an animated movie would be awesome. Just get Burton/Cage behind it. I was told Cage actually suited up for the cameo, not sure why they decided to completely CGI it. Hopefully we get some really good behind the scenes footage/deleted scenes for The Flash. But I was totally sold on Superman fighting the Thanagarian Snare Beast, AKA the Metal Spider haha!

[@rogerrambo4172]

What I loved about Wesley Strick's version (apart from it being VERY Tim Burton-esque & had a very Batman Returns feel) is that Brainiac is like the runt of the litter, Superman's unwanted AI brother. When Superman & K merge Brainiac & Luthor merge into Lexiac as counter. Strick really nailed the character of Clark Kent & oh man this movie would have been Tim Burton's masterpiece

[@brandonspain12345]

Seriously? That’s one of the worst scripts of them all. Lex was somehow worse than Jesse Eisenberg’s. He made so much pop culture references and has a Don Kind hairstyle while rapping during Superman and Doomsday’s fight, Doomsday is described as being a baby yeti with a name tag, Clark is a sad emo instead of awkward dork, Lex and Brainiac merging together sounded like a porno with Lex wearing an American flag stripped thong. So many moments that could’ve been linked to Batman & Robin. The Dan Gilroy script was much better. Stripped out the dumb references and jokes, and developed the characters more, made K have Jor-El’s life essence, making Lois more interesting and how she connects with Clark, Lex is less obnoxious, and there was some fun action sequences.

I'd love for an animated version of this to be made, so long as Cage himself voices it. As for the art, I've always (especially with films involving different alien races/cultures) hoped that they would get completely different artists with dissimiilar styles to each handle a different culture's look. Same would apply here; Kryptonian visuals from one artist, Earth from another, Brainiac (maybe) from a third and so on. Even to the point of possible multiple artists used for Brainiac's managarie of shrunjen and captured cities and critters.

Ironically Warner Bros. and Paramount have fought over two different Supermans.

It’s kind of unreal that this unmade movie might be more popular than Superman Returns

[@timrob12]

I heard that the upcoming Flash movie is considering a Nicholas Cage cameo. I think it would be cool to finally see the Superman that never was. But of course, we have to wait and see first.

To be frank , I do not understand a thing. Who wanted what. Who wrote what. I only know that I loved Christopher Reeves Superman.

The name "L-Ron" dates back to 1986, and is, itself, a pretty subtle dig.

Superman Returns was ok Kevin Spacey was a great Luthor

loved it. great editing

The Greg Porier scrips sounds like it would have been cool, but it needed tweaking and trimming down. I’d say cut Parasite, or if you need him, don’t give him an origin, just have him be a villain that’s already established like Silver Banshee.

Never thought I would see footage from mgsv in a video like this.
