    i go with the the man of steel. superman unleashed sounds more like an action packed supes game.

    I dunno, The Man of Steel definately gives the vibe they're gonna ride The Dark Knight's coat tails.

    i kinda like it cuz i always wanted to see supes unleased. though i also like the man of steel title. maybe they should wait for later films to use that title. i really really really want supes doing some crazy action/fighting stuff. that would be fun to see especially with today's tech.

    also an action packed supes film would change the general public's opinion that supes isn't badass. i think they will be shocked if they pull it off well. sorry for the double post.

    Singer has shown he is more at ease in superhero sequels (e.g. X2), he has also gone on record promising to do a "wrath of khan" on the superman sequel, in any event, the superman franchise has a ton of villain material, waiting to be unleashed (thankfully there won't be any richard pryor-esque team ups in this one!)

    superman unleashed just doesn't sound right. that's not what superman's about. it's not about him being angry or badass or anything.

    i think the man of steel is a perfect title for the sequel, assuming it's actually a good movie (1st one sucked! ZzzzZZZZzz). Yes, they are doing exactly what the dark knight did with the title. and it's awesome

    I think that is an excellent point. Maybe Singer just needs time to get comfortable with the character. If they bring Chris Tucker on this thing, I promise a revolt.

    I think whoever will play Superman in the movie should do so with the milk mustache. It's a good look.

    The problem with all the Superman movies in terms of action is the fact that there aren't any villians that have powers to match Supermans such as in the comic. Without the "challenge" it just seems that they have to fall back on placing people he cares for in danger and have him save them. After 5 movies that has worn very thin.

    Here's a concept perhaps they haven't thought about, how about they adapt the movie EXACTLY like the stories from the comics. Novel concept huh? I give up on the franchise till they come around to this way of thinking.

    I think trotting out Doomsday so soon in a reboot effort would be a bad idea... Really, where do you go from there? That should be after we've become more attached to the rebooted Supes. Instead it should be a villain that can give and take a lot of punishment. I think a baddie like Parasite, Mongul (alien invasion), or Metallo would be a better move. Maybe lead up to Braniac.

    superman unleashed sounds boring,and lex should not be in the sequel
  • Jesse Eskimo · 8 months ago
    Superman Unleashed sounds like he was on a leash. No one leashes the Man of Steel!
    Well, Lex did but only in trying kill him. Routh is Superman forever!!

    No doubt about it. Superman: The Man of Steel. Nothing stirs the soul than a righteous man standing his ground against a foe of us all. Man and steel are elements of moral fibre. This what will carry the movie through the action. Unleashed is as someone stated is rage, it simply doesnt fit the Superman mythos. And please in the next costume make that gay port wine/burgundy colour more RED! I think half the reason Returns did not do as well was the COLOUR impact onscreen which has burned into our conscious for 50 years. Sure bring in new stories, new actors, even costume BUT leave the primary colours well alone! RED YELLOW BLUE DAZZLING BLUR. Get the picture?
  • Jesse Eskimo · 7 months ago
    The primary colors are fine for the comic book Superman but the new colors worn in "Superman Returns" helps to create a sense of reality to Superman's story. While watching the movie the subdued colors caused me to forget that he is a fictional character and to believe that he really does exist.

    The title can be either Superman: Man of Steel or Superman Unleashed they both sound really good I think and hopefully you can use both by making another sequel. ^_^
    I would like to see Luthor trying to become the president like in the JLA cartoon series. I would like to see Brainiac in this film and have him infect Luthor turning Luthor into Brainiac for the third Superman Film. That would be Awesome! Also would like to see Supes fly so fast he turns back time again. :)
    For this movie have Luthor help Superman against Brainiac so he can try going for president and seem like a good guy to the people. Then have a teaser for a 3rd film by have Luthor start working with the government on a project called Doomsday.
