The vomit conjuring state of the current Superman script

I'll fill you in on it in case you don't want to read it all

It looks like Superman vs Batman and McG's Superman have been canned and now Brett Ratner (Rush Hour, Red Dragon) has it. The battles and scope of the film (planned to be a trilogy) seem right on, but the current script is evil because (big spoilers)-

Krypton does not blow up. Kal's parents are taken hostage because of their beleif in "the prophecy". Krypton is a copy of Naboo and we are given no reason to care about it.
Jimmy is apparently gay.
14 year old Clark finds a canister in his house (living with the Clarks, which they got right), with the Superman suit in it. No explaination is given for it. It wraps around him (its alive apparently), and then he flys around in it.
Luthor is a CIA agent that chases UFOs.
Superman fights kung-fu style, for no reason.
Superman dies saving Lois. His dad then kills himself, goes to heaven and tells Kal that the according to the prophecy he can't die yet, so Kal goes back into his body and digs himself out of the ground.
As he is preparing to leave for Krypton, Lex Luthor tells him he is a Kryptonian too, and starts flying around and they fight.


However, this is not the finished script, so things could change. I think a good start would be to burn all copies of the current draft and get somone who isn't on bad drugs to write the script.

That sounds like shit. I bet money they'll change it, but not for the better...

Many reasons. For more on the subject, read The Dark Knight Returns, the greatest comic ever.

I hope Batman kicks Supes ass. Stupid-S guy

[Mr-K]

god dammit, that was the worst story I've ever heard. Just give me more Spider-man

~Mr. K~

Batman is cooler than superman but alas, batman movies suck too

[Klonoa]

bring back michael keaton.

[Despair]

I agree. Keaton was the best Batman out of 5, and also 2 Batman films directed by Tim Burton are way better than those crappy sequels from that hack Schumacher.
