What do we want from Superman: Man of Steel?

What do we want from Superman: Man of Steel?

What do we want to see in the next Superman installment, reboot or sequel.

Superman is a man with one weakness, Kryptonite. He has many villains that can go head to head with him, but for some reason we have seen barely any villains go head to head with the "Man of Steel". It has been Lex Luthor throughout the whole Superman movie series, just about. General Zod was cool at that time. Im 18 and I didn't really grow up on Christopher Reeve's Superman, even though I have seen all of the movies. Superman Returns was a HUGE LET DOWN!!!! Once again Lex Luthor as the main villain. The best thing about this movie was the Kryptoshank. Brandon Routh could've been a good Superman, but Bryan Singer kinda f***ed that up for him. And also the fact that it was a sequel of the Christopher Reeve series. Reeve WAS Superman. There is no reason why they should have messed up HIS Superman.

IF THE NEXT MOVIE IS A REBOOT!

First off for the Origins.

Jor-El sent his son Kal-el to Earth as Krypton was about to explode for those of you who didn't know. Now the origins should be in the opening credits. Jor-El speaking to Kal-el, music and all. This way we don't spend 5 to 10 min in the origin story for Superman. Also have the Kents find him and give him the name "Clark Kent". Fast forward about 22 years. Clark is now moving out of the Kents house to Metropolis. soon after he moves to Metropolis he establishes himself as a Superhero by doing what!?!? catching a crashing highjacked plane! (maybe not highjacked because of 9/11) yep. Of course Lois Lane is on the plane.
ALSO THERE SHOULD BE NOOOOO KRYTONITE IN THIS MOVIE!!! (save for the second movie, it would be an easy set up)

Now for the villains.

In the first movie of this new series the villain should be Brainiac. Brainiac could be responsible for Krypton being destroyed (Idk if thats what really happened, but since he was a kryptonian computer i figured it seemed right)
And has been traveling towards Earth Since Krypton was destroyed, gaining intelligence from other planets along the way and finally making his way to Earth and wants to destroy the Last son of Krypton.

Lex Luthor should be involved in the movie NOT AS THE MAIN VILLAIN!!! but Lex Luthor was in Metropolis WAYYY Before Superman was. He was Metropolis "Hero" so to speak, but not very trusted by the city. Luthor could be not trust of Superman since he is an Alien from another planet. and the fact that Luthor use to be the "hero" to the city before Supes. wanting to destroy Superman...

(Setting up Superman 2 for Bizarro)
just don't do the Bizarro Lois thing. That will be very cheesy on the big screen.

Idk how they could tie this in, but i know they can figure something out. movie 3 is Darkseid
coming to Earth and is trying to Conquer until The Man of Steel gets in his way.

Or do Doomsday HOW HE SHOULD'VE BEEN DONE IN SMALLVILLE!
A fight to the finish SUPERMAN VS. DOOMSDAY! they both DIE!!!!
idk how many of you saw the Superman:Doomsday, but that fight scene of Superman and Doomsday was EPIC!! even though the story was a little off it was over all a good movie. and thats how the fight should be in this movie.

Let me know what you think about this series idea. Although for Darkseid or Doomsday idk if one of them should be saved for Justice League or keep in the Superman Movies.

@ shhh I agree with you on that one, along the lines of the episode of Justice league unlimited where he says" I have been holding back but not today" and beats the crap out of Darkseid Something with more agression and battles with supes nothing lame like the last one. Make Lex more like the cartoons or comics. Just make the dam movie already!!!

Doomsday for Justice League that'll make Superman's death much more of an impact including the other heroes I think. Even though I seriously doubt JLA movie will ever be made.

(In no particular order)

1. Action
2. Humor
3. Good effects
4. BRAINIAC
5. Mature tone

Along with the obvious (good acting, faithful and well-rounded characters, etc)

No BRAINIAC though, he's a lame character and would look lamer on film! ; D

(A cameo yes, but no way the main villain!)

The big a$$ classic Terminator version though would be cool!!!

Not really. A legitimately lame character would be one who is one-dimensional, one-note, boring, unimaginative, and is a grunting brute at best. Hm, what character comes to mind? Oh yeah, DOOMSDAY.

Superman needs to be able to take action when the Earth is in danger he can't be like that pussy from Smallville who can't even save his planet from the Kandorians.

This is how Superman should be like in the movies a man who has the balls to save his planet unlike Superpuss from Smallville.

I don't think the first movie back should be a "death" movie like most people want. I initially wanted that, but it would be more effective if they actually made us like Superman and then killed him. If they do it first shot, we aren't going to get attached to the character and that would somewhat lame. I just hope that Luthor is only a background character pulling strings and not the actual villain. We need something fresh, and I don't mean Superman III fresh. I'm talking actual villain. Any of those up top would do, but I wouldn't mind seeing The Eradicator, that way it could set up the imposter Superman story. All in all, there needs to be some punching going on, and some impending doom. I just didn't feel like the world was in danger in Superman Returns. Oh well.
