First off Superman Returns was a very good movie but not perfect and this is how I think a Superman movie should be made.

STORY


The opening scene starts off with a pre apocolyptic Krypton where Krypton's head scientist Jor El discovers that the planet they live on is about to end and everyone on it will die. Jor El informs the people in the Kryptonian govern ment about his discovery and that they need to think of a way to continue the Kryptonian race. Jor El leaves to his home where his wife Laura and his infant son Kal El are and Jor El tells his wife the news about his discovery. After a long digussion he looks over at his son and he remembers a small high tech space ship that he built as a science project and realizes that he would pt his infant son in the space ship and send him to a peaceful planet billions of miles away.

The next scene has a middle aged couple named Jonathan and Martha Kent who hear a loud rumbling sound outside of their house. Jonathan and Martha go out to see what it was and they find a crater with what looks like a space ship and they look inside and find a young boy inside. Jonathan and Martha report their find to the police and decide to adopt the boy as their own son since they have no children and name this boy Clark.

Skip ahead about 13 years and Clark is starting to feel funny and has exerted superhuman strength and speed he wants to know why this is happening so Jonathan takes him to the barn where there is a secret hatch in the ground and inside this hatch is a space ship and Jonathan tells Clark that he is from another world. Jonathan then gives Clark a crystal that was in Clarks hand when they found him.

Clark is observing this crystal and then a bright flash of light occurs and he is now in the Arctic and the crystal is on the ground. The crystal starts to shine and Clark hears a rumbling and suddenly a huge ice fortress pops out of the ground. Inside this fortress Clark hears a loud voice that tells him about his origin , where he is from, and what happened to the world he is from. After this conversation the voice introduces its self and tells Clark tht he is his father Jor El.

You next find Clark years later he is an adult and he finds this cloth that was in his space ship and he then gets his mom to sew together an indestructible suit just in case he needed it to help people. Clark starts to look for a job and he ends up at the local newspaper company the Daily Planet where he meets the bossy editor Perry White and the timid young photographer Jimmy Olsen. At the planet he gets the job and meets a young reporter named Lois Lane and he soon falls in love with her but she barely knows he exists.While reporting Clark meets a younger businessman named Lex Luthor who is the Chairman of a tech company called LexCorp. Lex and Clark get along well but Clark knows that there is something very wrong with Lex.

Days later Clark is sent to a crime ridden part of town to report and Clark rescues a woman who is being mugged but then leaves so that she cant see him.
Clark feels great about what he has done and puts on the suit that his mom made and goes out to fight crime. Meanwhile in another part of the world a portal tears open and a mysterious man with powers that resemble Clarks then he starts to destroy everything in his path.

The Daily Planet is in a buzz because of this new crime fighter tht they call Superman.That night Superman is on patrol and he spots Lois on the in an alley and there is a gang stalking her so Clark swoops down and defeats the thugs and Lois thanks him and then he allows her to interview him and he tells her about his story. Meanwhile Lex Luthor is in his office and is frustrated by this new crime fighter that is taking his power over the town he feels that the people don't need him anymore so he then begins to hate this Superman.

In the next town this mysterious man begins to destroy anyone who doesn't do what he says which is bow down and worship him he eventually levels the whole town and finds a newspaper that has a picture of Superman and the article says OUR SAVIOR so this man heads to Metropolis to find this so called Superman.

Soon aferwards this mysterman arrives at the local television broadcast company and tells them to put him on TV and he goes on and tells Superman to show himself so he can fight him and destroy all hope for this planet. Clark sees this and goes goes to meet this man and Lois follows Superman to where the fight is going to happen. When Superman arrives this man tells Clark that he read the interview about Superman's story and reveals his identity. This man tells Clark that his name is Zod an army General from the same planet that Clark is from then he tells Clark that a man named Jor El sent him into a prison for the universe's worst criminals. Superman and Zod then engage in climactic battle.

While Zod and Superman are fighting Lex Luthor watches as this new savior is being beaten by this threat hoping that Superman will die while destroying this threat and Lex could then rescue the city from anarchy and total destruction.
Zod gets the upper hand in the fight beating Superman to a pulp and then Lois shows up and gets Zod's attention Zod sees that Superman cares for this woman and Zod plans to kill her in front of him and then kill Superman after a little bit of torture of course. Zod grabs Lois then suddenly Superman uses his speed to break both of Zod's legs and then grabs Zod around the waist and flies to the ice fortress in the Arctic that Clark calls the Fortress of Solitude.
Superman throws Zod into the fortress and beats him a little more and then a to the prison that Zod came from opens up and Clark pushes him into the portal.

Superman goes back to Metropolis to inform the public what he did to Zod and tells them that Zod will never return to this city or anywhere else. Superman goes to console Lois and tells her to stay safe and then flies away. Lois and the rest of the city fall in love with their new hero. You see Superman flying over Metropolis as everyone watches him fly into the sky.

The End

After the credits you see a large space ship approaching Earth and a mysterious entity says I have found you Kal El the Last son of Krypton(it is Brainiac).


THE CAST

Brandon Routh-Superman/Clark Kent



I am a big supporter of a Routhboot I thought he was a great Superman just look at him he looks like Supes.

Lois Lane-Rachel McAdams


I think she is a very good choice for Lois I think she pull off the role with ease.

Lex Luthor-Garret Hedlund


If you have ever seen the movie Death Sentence yo know that Hedlund plays a great villain and he is a classy actor.

Perry White-Dustin Hoffman




Hoffman is a veteran actor and I think he would pull of role very nicely and be sort of a comic relief at times.

Jimmy Olson-Anton Yelchin



Yelchin is a great youbg actor and would pull off a good timid, and sort of spunky character.

General Zod-Tom Hardy



Hardy just has an evil look about him and is a very good villain acctor I think he would be a great Zod and it would be cool to see him and Routh in fight scenes.

Jonathan Kent-Stephen Collins



Collins is good at being a good father like he was on 7th Heaven yes I did watch that show when it was on.

Martha Kent-Meryl Streep



Like Collins she is a good parent except on Mama Mia on that she wasn't a very good parent but still she would do a great job.

Jor El-Jim Caviezel


Caviezel would have been a great Superman when he was young but I think he would pull off a great Jor el he even looks a little like Routh.

Laura El- Jullianna Margulies



Margulies is a solid actress and would be a great Laura.


Brainiac-Hugo Weaving



Weaving is one of my favorite actors and is a very good villain but he would only be in part of this movie and be the main villain in the sequel.

hedlund as luthor is interesting
i like your papa kent too
not a fan of a "routh-boot" though
i prefer josh hartnett or henry cavill
DDD
DDD - 6/20/2010, 7:28 AM
I wouldn't mind a Routhboot at all!
He DOES look just like Superman!
He's not a bad actor either. Everybody
just hates him now cuz he did that
gosh awful damnable Superman Returns
Singer crap!

A stupid asthmatic super-child, a deadbeat
Superman (something he would never be with
his good Kansas upbringing by Ma and pa Kent),
a snooping stalker Superman (another thing
he would never do in a million years), and
that stupid flying with a continent of
Kryptonite on his head! Just a tiny sliver
of Kryptonite can bring Clark to his knees and
a Continent of it on his head, are they kidding
me!

I can't see Hedlund as Lex tho'. This isn't
Smallville with a bunch of kids playing the parts.

This is a fine cast otherwise! Caviezel as Jor-el
is an excellent casting!

Jaryd Polson-I think Lex Luthor should be around the same age as Superman it makes their rivalry more personal and Hedlund is a great actor.

DDD-Superman Returns wasn't that bad except the Superman and Lois love child that was pretty dumb. I know Hedlund is a little young but I like it when Supes and Luthor are similar in age.

LEEE777-Hardy would be a great Zod he is a good villain actor, like I said up at the top of the page I am a big suppoter of a Routhboot.Thanks for liking my story.

GambitAceOfSpades-Thanks man I worked really hard on the story so I am glad that you liked it.

BATS @ Cool man!

I'm a big supporter for a ROUTHBOOT too, damn if he does get recast though I'd go with CAVILL, just up to HOLLYWOOD when it comes to ROUTH!

I reckon he has another couple of SUPERMAN movies in him!

I was a Routh supporter until I caught up on watching Chuck the last couple seasons and I just see him as a "blah" personality guy when it comes to his acting. Maybe it's the roles and direction he is getting, but I don't see him as a very diverse and believable actor. I was blaming his performance in Superman Returns on the direction, but in watching Chuck, I am not so sure I can blame Singer for his acting now. He seems stiff and emotionless and there isn't much more he has done that I can get any other reference from.

I have been reading and following a Superman casting discussion that has been going on for a few years now and it is over 300 pages. According to a couple of the moderators who "supposedly" have inside contacts at WB, Cavill is not even in the discussion for Superman. He didn't cut it back when he auditioned before, so he won't now. How accurate their sources are, I don't know, but they are pretty animate about people not throwing his name out there as a possibility. Of course I am VERY fine with that. :-P

How old do people think Superman should be in the reboot?

I am more for them finding another unknown. One of the most popular unknowns being discussed is Harmon Walsh. 6'3" and athletic. Just needs the eyebrows tweaked some. He is growing on me some, though I am not ready to say he is my pick. Too many other unknowns to sort through. I just want to share that there are some unknowns out there that have a pretty good look and could possibly pull off the part. Walsh has a couple new movies under his belt, but has a strong theatrical background for his training.

video prototype-Thanks man I hope you get to read the rest I am very proud about how my story turned out.

LEEE777- Routh is the best choice I think he just gives off the Superman feeling. Cavill seems like a good choice but I don't know how good of an actor he is.

Ranger14-Nice choice for Superman very original but how good of an actor is he that is the big question.
Ranger14
Ranger14 - 6/20/2010, 8:43 PM
tyler@ Yeah, I was searching for unknowns for the role, so I happened upon their big thread discussing it. Actually, I was impressed at the overall quality of posts and some of the ideas shared there. Some serious discussions going on. Not what you see on their main site. I quit going to their main page quite a while ago. I found it interesting they passed along some infractions for posts on the Superman Casting thread that looked tame compared to what we saw here a couple days ago. ;-)

SBS@ Not original, as I found him mentioned and well-liked on another site, but still an unknown that hasn't been mentioned here. Routh was pretty much an unknown like this guy prior to getting the part, so acting ability is an unknown as well. His only movie parts are for this year. He does have the theater training and background. Just an option. Looking for more unknowns. Cavill is a decent actor, but too wimpy for my personal taste. :-P

Am I the only person who thinks that Zooey Deschanel would be perfect for Lois?

superbatspiderman - 6/21/2010, 9:05 AM
Ranger14-Well this is the first time I have seen this guy on this site you should put him in a fan cast sometime.

qbert18-I don't know if I agree on that Deschanel is a good actress but not the Lois type she is more of a Harley Quinn type.

I like it and all but there is now sense of aw and wonder, superman doesn't seem alienated by his powers you only mention it once and it doesn't feel like the emotional story for superman. I also don't like the whole vigilante in the night thing you added. What makes superman great is that he is open to the world and is not afraid to show the people in the day who he is instead of hiding in the night. If you don't believe me check out the Justice League animated episode "Hereafter" where batman talks to superman's casket and admits to superman that you don't always have to show true justice in the dark. That's who superman is and it's a nitpick but it's one I had to get over it. I don't get a real connection with the Kent family and how they felt about Clark being an alien you made the summary so quick and short you kinda skip over some major details about superman's life. Also the whole interview with Lois Lane is taken from Richard Doyner's Superman 1. I do like that idea but it felt kinda forced with the way you introduced it. Also with the whole General Zod thing all of a sudden he comes and explains everything that happened to him and how he came here that was forced in as well. You could have done a better job with the summary without Zod. I also got no emotion when superman learns what happened to his original parents. Also you can introduce it in a more clever way because it just sounds something I heard before with Superman's origin. Like Superman Birthright that is a great example of how to do an origin by introducing new things about the character's origin while keeping his core personality. I like the casting personally I would have picked an Armie hammer or a John Hamn for my fancast but it's pretty cool. the plot sounds kinda generic like some elements but dosen't really grab my attention.
