Remember, Remember the 5th of November.




The 5th of November. A day reminiscent of one of my favorite movies V for Vendetta. It will also be the day remembered for America electing it's first black president. Today though, I'm gonna talk about the upcoming idea for the Superman franchise.

There have been rumors and speculations that the next Superman film will be going the route of the Dark Knight, making the character dark. Personally I think that is a load of bullshit. There is an old saying, "A hero is only as strong as his villain" and that is the problem with Superman. Lex Luthor is not a supervillian. And that is exactly what Superman needs, someone he can go round for round with, someone who can actually hurt him.

On the other hand, I do like the idea of starting Superman over like Batman Begins. Beginning on Krypton and finishing with the Last Son of Krypton being the last person on Earth as our sun dies and he loses his powers. But we can only hope right.

I did like this little image of Megan Fox as Wonder Woman, but I still prefer the shot of Elisha Cuthbert as Super Girl, better. All I can say is that I have always loved Superman and I hope they keep him the way he is, but build a story that will be dark and devastating.
