The Darkseid story line is perfect because it provides the kind of conflict that puts Superman in real jeopardy. We need to see that Superman is mortal and he needs to find the boundaries of his powers. He has been brought up in a world where he has constantly held back his true power for fear of hurting others, but now he will have to breath through that mental barrier to win. Can he do it?
This movie is perfect because it takes Superman to a place he has never been in Cinema; off world. (Yeah I know he flies in space and on the moon and went home in Returns but that’s not what I mean). The whole first movie should almost entirely take place off world on Apocalypse and New Genesis; with Superman battling in a far away land to keep Earth safe (a lot like our men and women in the military). This will provide a great opportunity to change the uniform some. While away fighting his uniform can get all torn to shreds (everything but the Symbol itself). And throughout the movie he will be forced to “improvise some changes.” This will be the rough proto type of his new uniform. Then in the second movie he returns to Earth and BAM, Doomsday, and also bam a brand new costume. Nothing too crazy different but cool and yeah a little different! Third movie could revolve around Brainiac. Boom there’s your trilogy, down and dirty.
Oh, and lastly, casting. There are alot of good Superman choices out there (not Brandon Routh). Whoever we get. We need a SuperMAN. So he needs to be over 30.
You know who I want.
