Uninspired choice of composer aside, I'm actually hugely optimistic for the movie itself! Even if it won't dethrone Superman '78, I think it at least has a good chance of being the best since. Superman is my favorite fictional character (don't let my username/avatar fool you ) and Gunn has been saying all the right things for me in regard to story, tone, character. The comics he's cited as his key sources of inspiration are among my all-time favorites. I think all the casting choices so far have been spot on. Not to mention Guardians 3 was my favorite Marvel movie in quiiiiite a while. I'm hyped. Pieter Boelen and Yavar Moradi 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,466 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Regardless of who does the score, I'm 85% sure that Gunn will use this song at some point in the movie. If he doesn't, I think there will be one of those "slower and depressing" covers for the trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,369 Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 There was a surprising amount of pop songs that referenced Superman from the 90s and early 2000s Spin Doctors - 1991 - Jimmy Olsen's Blues A Tribe Called Quest - 1993 - Award Tour Matchbox 20 - 1996 - Real World Our Lady Peace - 1997 - Superman's Dead 3 Doors Down - 2000 - Kryptonite Five For Fighting - 2000 - Superman (posted above) Eminem - 2002 - Superman Dave Matthews - 2002 -Where Are You Going? Lazlo Bane - 2002 - Superman Why so many? No idea! Once Superman Returns came out it all stopped though, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faleel 5,353 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 @Pieter Boelen I believe Abrams Superman film is seperate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,369 Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 JJ Abrams was never attached to this movie. Superman: Legacy is James Gunn's movie that is rebooting the DC Universe. JJ Abrams's Superman movie is still in development and is an "Elseworlds" story, unattached to the greater DCU continuity - just like Todd Philip's Joker movies and Matt Reeves' The Batman movies Yavar Moradi and Pieter Boelen 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,017 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I believe the Abrams focuses on the the alternate Superman, as in Calvin Ellis. Not sure if it wasn’t just a rumour though. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,466 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Some DC rumors, at least one of which Gunn claims to be untrue. The most interesting one for this forum is that Aronofsky is in talks to direct a Plastic Man movie. For those who don't know, Plastic Man is this guy: He is known as a more comedic superhero, so Aronofsky (whose films are as "fun" as suffering a car accident) is a curious choice.

A24 4,338 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Unless you are 12 years old and never watched a Superman movie, I don't understand why anyone would be interested in seeing another movie about Superman (or Batman). That's why Watchmen was so refreshing to me because finally we got something else (in subject and style). Nick1Ø66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterTech 994 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Because 80 years of source material means nothing for further adaptations? It's not the big blue boy scout's fault WB keeps refusing to go past the same few elements that have dominated most Supes films at this point.

A return to the respect and reverence that Donner had for the material, would be a good start. A score by JW wouldn't go a miss, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,466 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 That explains why the script for the movie is so shitty: he was busy playing videogames. Fallout TV producer Jonathan Nolan says playing the games disrupted writing The Dark Knight Rises Sounds like something that would've come out of a Pitch Meeting video.
