Man of Steel

This reboot, if done will, can do for Superman what Batman Begins did for Batman.
I found some of the things in the trailer ( as described by critics) to be facinating things to deal with.
The fear of Superman by the Humans, the wanting him not to be their "saviour" and, one presumes, the relief they feel when he does become their saviour VS Zod.
The whole process seems far more real than the Christopher Reeves one and Superman Returns.

Ahh. Crap. Was hoping to see it tomorrow.

Just saw that Diane Lane is Martha.

Don't know why, but I find her super hot. Just sayin'.

If done right it may be THE reboot.
I have high hopes because of who is involved in this.
Besides, new/rebooted origins and comics go hand-in hand.
How many versions of Superman does DC have? few dozen?

If you include the alternate history versions like Red Son and Cowboy Superman?

Many...

Indeed, Kingdom Come was one of my favs.
I like the notion of the UBER powerful demi-God Superman and I know that some want to make him less powerful and beatable ( so they can find victims or put him in a situation that makes for drama) but I think that is just lazy writing.
What makes Kal-El SUPERman is that he is just that SUPER.
The kryptonite is more than enough as a "deterrent".
Just make him as freaking powerful as possible, I am talking pick up the planet and whip it into the sun powerful !!

After all, some comic has to have god-fights in it.
