well that was a suprise you hear so many people saying that its not necessary personally I dont care if they do the origin story or don't I just want a good movie. But I am fascinated to see what Snyder's take on his origins would be

Yeah gotta agreee, Batman Begins is what it should most be like. Chritopher Nolan should make all the DC films lol, just not as dark as Batman.

Yeah! High five! Anyone? No? Okay then...Time for some shameless self-promotion in the form of a picture link to my Take on/ argument for the Superman origin!

@Exiles: It's a reboot so people who don't want the origin are groaning because they think it's going to happen. Others who want the origin aren't groaning because they assume it will have the origin. Make sense?

@golden123, I'm not quite sure what you're talking about. I was just kidding about the shameless self-promotion thing and it wasn't a response to something anyone else has done. I saw this in the editorials section and was curious because I voted in the poll. I just like to post links to some of my older stuff in relevant articles because after they've been around for a certain amount of time, that's almost the only way people will find them. At the same time, I feel just a little bit awkward being like "Hey! Check me out!" so I chose to joke about it.

Enough with the [frick]ing origin already!!! Please!!!

-_-

I just don't get why all other heroes are allowed to fight in their movies. Damn Cap and Thor look epic. But all we ever get are BORING Superman films all about his feelings. If this be another origin film for the umpteenth time, they need to at least put some action this time. I just wanna bear witness to Superman finally punching someone.

Sadly this movie keeps sounding more and more boring. Apparently he doesn't wanna use his powers?? WTF??? Is this "Smallville" all over again??!! And damn...Ursa as the villain?? So all the other heroes get cool villains- Red Skull, Sinestro, Loki, BANE...

And we get Ursa?? Universal feminist??! If snyder [frick]s up this movie then I am giving up on Superman films. Supes works better in animated form anyway.

There's just one problem with doing the origin story ALL OVER AGAIN: Legally, they can't do it, for as you might remember, Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster's heirs saw to that in the agreement between Warner Bros. & them several years back: According to the agreement, the origin story's off limits to being portrayed either on the silver or small screen (Smallville started production PRIOR to that agreement, so that, in effect, doesn't count!) for the time being (I forget for just how many years, but could be indefinitely, at least until Warner Brothers gets the rights back; which is WHY they're basically making this movie in the FIRST PLACE, because, as you also probably know, another part of that agreement was that they HAFTO make another Superman movie PRIOR TO OR BY 2013 or risk losing ALL RIGHTS to the character altogether(Possibly PERMANENTLY! And NO ONE wants THAT! [Sigh!] Greedy heirs!! Always ruining it for the rest of us!! Wish they'd just go away! But, oh well! Nevermind!)! So, as long as it's not the origin story, then they're pretty much free to do with ol' Clark/Supes whatever they want! Well, that's all for now, & laters! Cya!

If it's an origin story that will erase the memory of Smallville then I'm all for it.

Please make a Jor-El movie more like the star wars movies basically the very beginning of Man of Steel.

where Jor-El is trying to save Krypton from the clutches of Dark Seid but gets betrayed my his own brother Zor-El and best friend General Zod with subplots for the man of steel with Zor-El's built brainiac in search of the Green Crystal which runs the fortress of solitude (Eternal Battery given to Jor-El by Green Lantren Corp as a honorary gift of good will & bravery ) and Dark Seid's plan to make an army of Doomdays so he can rule the universe (one escapes / or is not destroyed ), Programmed to kill Jor-el with his DNA input in his head, (Doomsday mistakes Kal-El for Jor-El later in man of steel ) and General Zod scheming to destroy Krypton so he will be ruler of Kandora but ends up destroying both ignorantly unaware of Dark Seid's mission to get rid of all kryptonians / Kandorians right before being Frozen (suspended animation) in the phantom zone along with Kara Zor-El who scarifies her life to trap him, Ursa & Non together with all the other Phantoms / Criminals of the universe.

When they do break free (of course because of Kal-El mistake to save the earth) she is released also and helps superman get all of them one by one back in the
Phantom Zone.

The Kryptonite which explodes thru out the universe creates mutated Super Beings like Grandy , Humanoid ,
Parasite, Kryptonite Man...etc..etc.. list goes on..with different locations around the universe.

At Earth radiation from Kryptonite effects Lex Luthor increasing his brain capacity but also giving him a
cancer like disease ( Losing Hair ) for which he holds Superman responsible and with his intellect he makes
Machines ran by Kyptonite like Metallo and creates Bizarro by altering Superman's DNA & plots the
Nano-Tech Shape Shifting Amazo with the help of Brainiac. of course the Super suits he uses to kick
Superman's ass also included in the movie.

To do this.. Will need more then a trilogy to finish. with villains that can really make Superman Black & blue
with blood is going to go well with public. who can finally see superman kick some serious ass as he has been boxed up in earth not able to use his full powers afraid he will do more damage then good. (living in a paper box syndrome).

I really hope this can help anyone with the direction i want to see Superman/Jor-El. thanks.
