More Fun With the Tim Burton/Nic Cage Superman

That would have been so terrible.

TEA @ Yeah i know, and thanx man!!! ; )

Holy sh1t, why is this in friggin' fan fic????????

Oh, god, why, why, why, LEEE? My eyes...they're melting...

I think his vision of Superman was warped as a whole but the dissecting segment where you take things apart piece-by-piece, it seems he had something going here as Teabag mentioned, but for some reason when it comes to Burton, every movie that comes to mind just seems like an eerie, dark and gloomy dive into his psyche.

WHISPERS @ Still it wouldnt of been a 2 hour love story that RETURNS was though lol.

Denn1s @ Thats what i thought exactly man, CAGE was all wrong but the concept was good!!

BIJOUS @ Lmao!!

JOSH @ You really hate RETURNS don't ya heh???

It wasn't great but it was better than some of the comic book movies that got released this year, no names lol.

@Leee777 + Joshw24

I felt like I paid $13 to watch a Lifetime movie outside of my house. The film was roughly what, 2 hrs...i think Singer spent maybe 25 minutes with superhero "stuff." The other portion of the film was spent on spreading out a lifetime drama

I promised myself to never watch the film again and I've pretty much stuck to my guns on that one

LEE: I think the stuff with Doom is probably why i hate it so much - that and the botched origins and poor casting choices as well of course!!! Oh and have you checked out my updated Cap fan cast? Now with Arnim Zola and Lukin! :)

Whispers68: Tell me about it! I re-watched it once...trust me, that only gives you a chance to find more problems with pretty much everything! It just turned me sick sitting there and seeing Singer try and pretend it was one of the 70's films - i mean you can respect whats come before and even pay homage to it but to copy it just shows what a talentless turd of a director Singer is IMO!

And you're right about the lifetime drama - I mean, was this what Singer was planning for the sequel?

i liked superman returns. could have used some actual action in ti, but i still enjoyed it. nice find, leee, there r sum cool ideas for that film, except that doomsday design, didnt like that so much. oh well, hey at least we didnt have to see cage flying around onscreen:) woo hoo!

Yeah, DOOMS a classic villain, and they FOXED it big time lol!

I knew NIP TUCK was a bad idea from the very start, just like DOOMSDAY in friggin' SMALLVILLE, not good!

But i still rate RETURNS over BORIGINS! : D

JALL @ Im not sure that was DOOMIE?? Ya right though. Thanx man.

NICK @ VAL @ Heh heh heh! ; D

this would of worked with the exception of cage, better than returns. Returns was like the Titanic movie with Leo D.

Lc @ Lol, have ya seen that yet by the way an make me a coffee plz. heh heh ; )

SHHH @ KENT @ Yeah guys without CAGE i reckon this could've been a very sweet movie!

I don't know Leee, I think Burton's style would have taken me out of the movie had he made Superman Lives. For one the character design alone:

(I dub thee EMOMAN)
Note that he looks like Frankenstein, including what appear to be bolts in the neck and wires in the head, the dark circles under the eyes and shaved sides of the head, the skeletal costume...it all looks like a cross between a member of the Spacing Guild and a Fremen Warrior in a Stillsuit from David Lynch's version of Dune. Burton is not a bad director, but aside from a very few films, Big Fish being the primary on that springs to mind, he doesn't seem to want to branch out stylistically beyond his rather gothic comfort zone.

Superman is anything but Gothic. I think the look and feel of the film if done by Burton would have been ruinous to Superman for a generation. I'm very glad the film was not made. Burton was just a bad fit all around for the character. The guy holds comics in disdain, he has said as much, but Tim its a CBM. We all would want it to be true to the character, not the Tim Burtonization of Superman. Tim's version of a Superman-like character. I think the whole thing would have felt like Catwoman a character who only shared a name with her comicbook counterpart. It was just a bad idea all around, to me no CBM is better than one that says, "Oh yeah, you love this character? Well here’s something not at all like it because the director wants to do his idea and do it his way; now give us your money and shut up." It would have been a total rape of Superman and all he was meant to be.

I thank the Lord every single day that Nic Cage was never Superman. The fact that we didn't get to see a movie with Cage as Supes proves that there is a God!

I liked Returns. No, it wasn't great or even really good, but it was solid.

I'd rate it over Origins, but I didn't mind that movie either.

Im not into any of that wierd goth shit so i hate all of Burtons stuff but there is no way his Superman movie would have been good! sure, there probably would have been some good parts but it would have been one weird film (thhough im sure emo kids would love it..!)

LEE: Wow, you were kinda quick to suddenly bring Ackles up again!!! I didnt insult you or Burton - you're not a freaking Emo are you!?!?

Oh, and Ackles would kick ass as Captain America! ;D

I love Tim Burton, his movies are awesome (for the most part), but he was so wrong for Superman. Burton has a dark, gothic style and Superman is almost the complete opposite of that!

Peter Jackson/Neil Blomkamp should direct the Superman reboot!

Yes, he certainly would nero.

ok honey il make you a coffe so you want a t it w@nk too lmao ( * ) ( * ) B========D lol

LEE: Seriously though, LEE - i dont care if you're Emo...i just hate them! (for good reason too actually!)
