    Making the choice to put Jones in a big film now would just be distracting.

    I think it’s time to get back on topic, please. I’m just as guilty of going off on weird things. This thread is about Superman, not questionable human beings.

    Sticking to Superman, I wonder how much casting has been done for Legacy. It would be a shame if the strikes canceled the movie. Or if just Lex Luthor or General Zod are the only villain again. It has a lot going for it. I think that some of Superman’s supporting cast outside of Smallville and the Daily Planet.

    I think it’s easier to watch movies with Kevin Spacey as he most often plays a villain anyway so it doesn’t make much difference as to what he’s done in real life ( Although wasn’t he recently cleared of all charges in the UK? )

    With Miller,he is supposed to be playing a SUPERHERO.There is a responsibility to be a good role model for young people with that and after everything he’s done,it’s hard to ignore.

    He wasn’t particularly good as The Flash anyway.They should have fired him as soon as that incident arose where he attempted to strangle someone ( This was before filming on the movie began I think )

    Fair enough.
    Yes, as with Batman, I would love to see some of the lesser-known villains show up too.

    Brainiac would be a terrific villain to use.Even though he’s probably a Justice League level threat.

    The best incarnation of him in my opinion was the one voiced by Jeffrey Combs in the Injustice 2 video game

    That's hard to disagree with!

    I agree, Brainiac in Injustice 2 is one of the great comic book villains in gaming. Up there with Arkham Joker or Spider-Man PS4 Doc Ock. As for an Injustice 3, I could go either way. It's a great 2-part story/game. However, there is great potential for more greatness in a third game.

    I feel that James Gunn will surprise us (for better or worse) with the villain(s) of Legacy. I remember being disappointed when Zod was announced as a villain for MOS, and then being arguably the only one. Also, for the longest time it seemed that Zack Snyder was lying about him, when the word was already out. That being said, Michael Shannon did a great job, both in MOS and The Flash. Snyder honestly did some great castings (Most of MOS, BVS, and a lot of the DCEU in general). The writing material often let them down.

    Yesterday, Batman The Animated Series celebrated its anniversary of airing for the first time. Today, Superman The Animated Series celebrates its anniversary of airing for the first time. Probably one of the more underrated DCAU series, I think WB should really look at STAS when adapting Superman in live action movies. There’s a lot of great material (particularly with its villains) to look at for influence.

    Glad you brought this one up too! I loved marathoning this series and need to do it again sometime. So many great villains not named Lex Luthor just dying to get used for new movies! That being said, Clancy Brown’s Lex is just as definitive as Mark Hamill’s Joker - superb.

    Yes those two are immortalized as their character’s voices. Never get tired of hearing them.

    That was pretty good, I would have included Gerard Christopher.

    I looked at the channel and also watched CHRISTOPHER REEVE Restores the SNYDER CUT that was funny.

    I'm honestly surprised that The Adventures of Superman (1952-1958) didn't ever use Lex Luthor and the Toyman as villains in the show. They could have been easy to adapt on a TV Budget. Maybe even as recurring villains.

    Who is one at 2m50 picking up the helicopter? I can't make out who that is.

    Censorship was pretty harsh back in the 50s. TV execs didn’t want to scare off sponsors by featuring a rogues gallery of fantastical supervillains that might potentially scare kids. That’s why villains were often relegated to simple crooks, corrupt politicians, and mad scientists. This is from the same era where Lucille Ball’s pregnancy being addressed at all on her show was considered taboo.

    Obviously that all changed by 1966 when a big part of the appeal of Batman was his rogues gallery. I always wondered if George Reeves had been alive in the 60s would they have been able to have him make a special guest appearance teaming up with the dynamic duo. Just a fun what if.

    A lot of comic book fans and myself are begging DC to have a crossover between Batman 66 and a version of Superman. It can't be the Christopher Reeve version, as his version has been confirmed to be in Michael Keaton's Batman universe. Earth-789 is that world. Superman 50s would be the best bet. Please let it happen DC!

    Batman doesn't look happy with Superman, in that picture.

    Also, this would have been interesting, it's sad he probably wouldn't have lived to see it.



    No surprise.

    You think this was the script for Man of Steel 2?
