Superman: Man Of Steel

Again, Darkseid has been repeatedly owned by a guy whose main power is riding on a hovering granny walker.

Brainiac, Parasite, Livewire, Doomsday, General Zod, Lobo, Metallo, Bizarro, MONGUL, Cyborg Superman, or Composite Superman. And that's before you start swiping Batman/Justice League villans.

Not a fan of Superman Returns. It was nice seeing Superman in a moden-day movie, it certainly looked good, but that was it for me.

As for this sequel, I say go with Brainiac. Have him follow Superman from the remains of Krypton to Earth, tracking down the last Kryptonian alive so that he can capture him. Maybe tie him into the destruction of Krypton, as the sentient computer that destroyed the planet to have its freedom, and maybe JorEl was aware of the threat of Brainiac but he wasn't heeded (could tie in to why he was still using data crystals, which predated the technology of Brainiac) - I think the animated series did something similar to this, obviously it's a tweak but it helps the movies.

And say Brainiac kept a few Kryptonian criminals in stasis, or maybe as his tools of cataloguing the universe/an attack force to weaken planets he visits. That would be bad-ass.

Plus imagine the revelation when Brainiac finds out Superman has (ugh, but I'll try to make it work) a half-Kryptonian, half-human son. It will want him for itself, maybe to mold as his second-in-command as General Zod once was.

He sold it, he shouldn't cry foul now.

Also: When posting news stories, why not quote it and at the bottom provide the link? That's just proper forum form.

EDIT: Even though his family are the ones suing, they shouldn't get shit.

Because I'm fucking lazy. And because Josh gets away with posting "discuss".

I've done it for long enough now without posting any retarded shit that you can safely trust I won't be posting anything retarded. If I'm linking I think its interesting. You can discuss.

I was under the impression that the ruling gave Seigel (or his estate, as it were) the story of Action Comics #1, however the characters themselves were still the property of DC.

Heres the news as I read it and was under the impression as ... much ado about nothing.

Not to be an ass, but Error; myself and Gas post the link AND quote bits from the news ... all the time here in Cinemania.

The report.

Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster originally created Superman as high-school students in Cleveland. Appearing originally as a bald-headed villain, Superman's evolution into what he is today didn't happen overnight -- part of what makes this case so confusing. By awarding the copyright to Superman as depicted in his first appearance, there's a whole can of worms as to who is entitled to what. A lot of the Superman mythos didn't arrive with the first appearance. Kryptonite, The Daily Planet, Jimmy Olsen and a lot more came much later with the Superman radio show and through non-Siegel and Shuster comic involvement. How that plays out remains to be seen.

The rest talks about the legal standpoint of work for hire.

You're not being an ass. I'm not asking you to post that way. I'm saying I'm lazy, and will continue to post links in a way I see fit. Nobody has to click them.
