Nolan and Zack Snyder, definitely an interesting team. There are already rumors now that Zod is going to be the villain.

I have to say I'm excited that it "appears" they aren't going to go totally out of left field and do something stupid and out of character for

They better not **** this up again, because Supes is the only Superhero that makes feel like a little kid rooting for his icon.

I'll be very excited to see if anyone is able to make

relavent and/or even interesting again. He's a product of such a specific time and place.

Its becuase he basically has no weakness.

People have a hardtime rooting for a character when he will just throw stuff out in to space at the end of every movie or turn back time by spining aounrd the planet.

Red Brooklyn · 10-05-2010, 11:24 AM

That's definately part of it.

But I also think the focus has always been on the wrong aspects of the character and his impact on the world around him. When those issues have been bridged in the past, it's been fairly superficial; quickly giving way to spectical.

I think that the material is better, that's all. I think there's much more psychological complexity to the characters. I think it is brilliant commentary on the entire genre of superhero movie (whereas the source material is commentary on comics, specifically). Don't get me wrong - I love The Dark Knight too. TDK has the edge for me in directing and has a transcendent performance in Ledger's Joker. Your other categories are a wash for me.

How is it that the TV show has lasted 10 years then? Surely a fresh take that people would enjoy can be done somehow?

Doesn't bother me a bit that you like it, and by all means watch it to your heart's content.

I just wasn't sure why he was trying to get into a dick-measuring contest over how many times he's seen watchmen...

I've seen Dark Knight 4 times!
Yeah, well, I've seen Watchmen 327.6 times!!eleven

Okay dude, whatever makes you happy.

**frazod** · 10-05-2010, 02:32 PM

I'm pissed that I actually bought Dark Knight on blu ray. I'll never watch it again.

Batman Begins > The Dark Knight > Watchmen > 300

The TV show has done as well as it has for exactly that reason. Because it found a fresh angle. The show focused on Clark Kent as a young man learning how to become

. But it's not fresh anymore, and it's hardly

. A film is going to have a difficult time overcoming the inherent flaws in the character. Smallville side-stepped those flaws by showing us how he became a superhero. I suspect this new film will not take that same path.

I don't think it's impossible to find an innovative take on the character. But it'll be difficult. There's a reason why Singer's vision wasn't well recieved. Especially over-seas.
