Extra, Extra read all about it, "Superman gets his A*$ kicked by a Woman!

"The “Geniuses” over at Warner Brothers and DC"

His name is Goyer.

We know absolutely nothing about the story.
We know the characters, and those characters have been portrayed in numerous ways since the beginning of Superman.
Bashing the story when you don't know a thing is ridiculous and flat-out dumb.

The only thing that worries me about Faora is that regardless of how evil or tough she is...she is STILL a WOMAN. And I'm pretty sure Superman won't wanna hit a woman. He has hit Wonder Woman before...rarely but he has. But still this movie was supposed to be a way for Superman to FINALLY cut-loose with his power and fight someone.

Having a female villain will only ensure that Superman will hold back his power when fighting her...IF he even fights her.

I don't want Superman holding back in this movie. This is his last chance to prove movie-goers wrong- THAT HE ACTUALLY KNOWS HOW TO FIGHT.

Hopefully...the Nolan/Goyer/Snyder team can work in a Lex Luthor who is a real fighter this time- NO MORE CAMP PLEASE and make him the evil CEO of Lexcorp, have him be physical and take on Superman (kryptonite knuckles in All-Star was [frick]ing great!) and have Supes fight Gen. Zod. But Faora...I just don't know. I hope i am proven wrong. But this film can't afford to have Superman holding back again. If he doesn't fight in this movie too...he'll just come off as a douchebag- "Oh look how [frick]ing powerful i am, I never have to fight or throw a punch ever because I am so [frick]ing powerful"

And I'm a massive Superman-fan people. I want his film to be great. But if they pull the same crap they did with "Superman Returns" and prevent Superman from fighting, I'm pretty certain movie-goers will start to seriously hate Superman.

This film is supposed to be Superman's escape from the public thought of- "Superman is boring"

He better beat the living SHIT out of Faora.

@golden- were you referring to my post? Or tenacious?

Because nothing I said was sexist. In fact my whole point was that Superman most likely won't wanna hit a woman. That's just a fact in life- MEN DON'T HIT WOMEN.

At the end I did say I wanted Superman to beat the living shit out of Faora but that's only because i want action in this movie. I'm sick of Superman having all boring films. If they wanna put a female villain in the movie they need to treat her as a man and allow Superman to [frick]ing throw down with her.

It wouldn't be fare for them to put a female-villain in the movie and have Superman hold back his power just because of that. Superman needs to fight this time. He comes off as waaaay too douchy sometimes in the movies.

@ZeroEthic,

Goyer isn't the only creative force in this film. There are many including Nolan, and Snyder.

"Bashing the story when you don't know a thing is ridiculous and flat-out dumb."

I have been taught that naming calling is a sure sign that you have gone intellectually bankrupt.

That aside, I will say that making a hypothesis that the film is going to be ruined without reading the script or seeing the film is risky and like I said I hope I am wrong. But knowing the characters in a story and their background does tell us quite a bit. I am using this info to form a theory about how the character dynamics will play out that won’t be to my liking or many fans’ liking. Some will like it no matter what, and some will hate it no matter what. I just want to be entertained and want to watch Superman fight and not hold back like "LP4" said. I know Zod is in there, and while I would have went with someone else to be sure, there was a thread of hope that the story could work. But this news is much more revealing and not in a good way. I stand by my article.

@golden- Ok sorry man. Thanks for the headsup!

Yeah like i said too though- I figure women would get pissed to see Superman holding back against Faora because she is a woman. I'm sure they'd wanna see a strong woman who can take a few hits from Superman. I mean in Superman II he hit Zod and Non but he held back from hitting Ursa. That is my fear...he will hold back power because she is a girl. I know many women who are getting tired of females being portrayed as "damsels in distress" that is why a lot of them look up to and admire Lois Lane. Hell I'm a guy but i love Lois for that reason- she is a tough cookie.

Let's see Superman take on Faora and Zod and not hold back for a change ;D

Heck...if they could put in Luthor, have Superman actually PUNCH Luthor for once. Of course he will need to hold back a bit of power otherwise Luthor's head would explode from one punch from Superman but i don't know...maybe some people wouldn't mind that lol

i agree somewhat with your article......it's disappointing!

superman goes "Lifetime Channel".....just what we need more "Suck-age"!!

Nolan,Goyer & Synder ....is this what you meant by having a "Fantastic story"!

@Frogman- I see your point...but we're right to worry too. I mean...the last Superman film did...pretty bad. Due to the Siegel heir lawsuit this could be the last Superman movie...EVER.

That being the case...they cannot afford to [frick] up this movie. That's why everyone is soooo worried and bit*hing.

ZeroEthic,

First of all, my article and your comments are in fact "opinions." You are of the “opinion” that my analysis of the casting is "flat-out dumb." That would make the person doing the "dumb analysis"… dumb. Get it? That is insulting and it was meant to be. You certainly weren't trying to be complimentary with your "opinion."

As to the WB/DC employees; well, I was being sarcastic not caustic. There is a difference.
FYI
Fact is defined as “A statement that is objectively true and can be verified.” You cannot objectively verify that someone’s opinion is dumb.
Opinion is defined as “A subjective statement or thought about an issue or topic, and is the result of emotion or interpretation of facts. An opinion may be supported by an argument, although people may draw opposing opinions from the same set of facts”
Think about it.

@Tenaciousbt does it seem heroic or manly letting the woman pound on him either? Superman doesn't have to "unload" on her, but he has to defend himself too. Chances are he'll just throw her into a building or something of that matter. But like I said before, did anyone really complain when Batman head-butted Catwoman in Batman Returns. Batman maybe more anti-hero, but even he restrains himself against female villains if he can help it. However, he didn't shy away from hurting Catwoman when he was forced to.

Superman doesn't hit women if he can help it, but he's not gonna just take it either. I'm sure they'll do it in a way that won't be too "abusive." Over all, I agree with Frogman, we don't know the story and we haven't even got footage yet or anything else. Until then I'll continue to be positive.

anyone but her anyone

Women are all for equality until you punch on in the mouth for talking too much. Then it turns into a double standard. lol

@Tenaciousbt - I would have to agree with ZeroEthic on this one, you seem to be putting the cart before the horse in your "analysis" as it is hard to analyze and judge the story for this new film before you have any clue what that story entails. You are simply jumping to conclusions based on casting decisions and stressing yourself out. As a fan of the character I am hoping for the best possible story and holding judgement until I see the final product.

LP4 - I agree, this does raise a concern for the "potential" of Superman to be engaging in a fight with a woman.

However, one of my favorite scenes in fight club was when Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt's character) lets the club owner beat the living hell out of him to show that he will pretty much never give up and can "out will" anyone. Perhaps with Faora Superman will show us how much punishment he can take while with Zod we will get to see how much he can unleash.

With that said this can go many different ways. Faora has been shown in past incarnations to hate men in general but comes to work with Zod when they are in the Phantom zone together.

What if:
-Faora hates men because she was treated badly by them in different stages of her life
-She became a master of Horo-Kanu to defend herself/punish men for the things that were done to her
-She only aligns herself with Zod at first because she has to and sees it as being a tactical advantage at first.
-She eventually sees that Superman is morally superior than any other man she has ever encountered, and his will is pure and unbreakable, leading her to be inspired (and even perhaps infatuated with him like a Maxima) by him.
-She eventually sacrifices herself for him against Zod..

The possibilities are endless, just because it is a woman along side of Zod does NOT mean it will be another woman that has pledged her ultimate one-dimensional allegiance to him like Ursa did in Superman II.

@Trapdinsteel, @drellik and @ZeroEthic Thank you guys for being optimistic fanboys, we need more like you.

@Evon8701
I hear you man. I am not trying to just hate. I really just had a vision in my head for what a Superman film could be and I thought Snyder was going to make that happen, and now I just don't see it happening.

And for the record. I loved the idea of Heath Ledger for the Joker. I was a huge fan of his and knew he could rock it, and he did. I loved Batman Begins and TDK. I have liked almost all the Superhero movies that have come out minus Superman Returns and the first Hulk (it was ok). So I am not whining for the sake of it. I just have a soft spot for Superman and really want it done right this time. You know?

Relax, I hear they're saving all the really good villains for the sequels. This project is utter fail!

@evon8701...Nolan isn't as involved as you think. That asshole Goyer wrote the story and considering the recent developements concerning Superman renouncing his citizenship, [frick]ing MOS seems very possible (if not likely considering Synders Sucker Punch, Cavills Immortals and Zod/Faora villain choices...and all the other casting decissions: Martha MILF, dull Costner and SuperWIMP). How much FAIL can one movie have?

Naysayers and pessimists: We don't even know what the story is yet just the characters. And maybe Superman won't hit a woman, but are you telling me that there's not going to be a significant super-powered punch up with Zod in this movie? Of course there is and it will be epic. Have faith people. Wait until the movie comes out to pass judgment on things like plot.

@YourMomNaked Filming doesn't start until mid August, it's May, he has this month, June, July, and maybe the beginning of August. I say he'll get as big as he can with in that time. Even if he doesn't completely reach Hemsworth's size that doesn't mean he's a Superwimp. He'll at least be bigger than Routh and Reeve in terms of muscle which is a good thing within itself.

I'm sorry, but calling him a Superwimp just because he doesn't reach that exact size is just nitpicky to me. He's still working out and putting in his best effort, you can tell that at least he's improved since we've last seen him so far which I'm happy to see. In the end he'll be big enough at least compared to some of his predecessors and that I say is an improvement.

But whatever dude, we'll just have to agree to disagree. Like I said we'll find out soon enough, if its good great if not, disappointing, oh well I'll hope a better one comes in the future. Until then we'll both stick to our beliefs about this film as a whole.

Either way you can't please everyone and no film will ever pass all the fan's expectations which is why I'm not giving up on the this film, it could still be great even if it's not perfect.
