Awesome ideas bro. I think something like this might work as a fun hour long made for TV special to promote a Superman / Batman team up flick..... maybe. Lol. But boy would I love to see it happen.
And hell, through Nick Cage and Will Smith in there as Superman while we're at since, since they were each considered for the role at one time or another.
If you want to see a corrupt Superman, you need to play Injustice. An else world universe where Superman becomes a dictator and most of the Justice League becomes evil in fear of being crushed by his rule. Then it takes place in the actual Earth 1 universe with everything being normal for the most part. Interesting story and loads of characters to play as and buy as DLC; but it can get repetitive with the game play. Superman Vs. Superman is tough as hell to say the least.
Nic Cage would of made an awesome Superman. No doubt in my mind. Those costume designs for Lives were so cool and unique; but one that had the classic image. Also a new rainbow chrome suit and the black/silver one that happens during THE RETURN OF SUPERMAN comic. That documentary will do the project justice in 2014. It would been a little campy and at times jumping the shark; but he would respect the role and be in the coolest Superman film before MOS was ever an idea. Will Smith would of been interesting if that came around in the late 90s. Now I'm not sure if it would work period. I'm open to an African American or another race for Superman since it does happen in a particular universe in the comics. I read some of the story and as long as it has the core Supes' values I'm totally cool with it. It worked so well with the new Ultimate Spiderman in the comics with Peter Parker still being in that or another universe. Like Batman & Spiderman, Superman is a symbol, an icon, and an inspiration of how anyone with the power to do good and set what is right can be a hero. He's a mythical character that most of us want to be and wish to have that kind of morality and code. There is alot of psychology with these characters and how the writers and readers look at themselves.
Let's hope that Cavill keeps a stronger momentum and is the perspective of the new film and Affleck compliments him as the new Caped Crusader. It can have some fights; but want to be a team up film with new elements unexplored in the film verse. While using comics and references from previous material that balances and entertains the audience and hard core fans later in 2015. Until then...

we have hope..and please...WB, Snyder, and whoever else..call it...WORLD'S FINEST (As it should be)
I'm actually really excited for the new Super Cafe youtube cartoon.
Fake trailer showing what could be possible using various film footage from Affleck's films, material from Bryan, and Man of Steel footage mixed in to see what could be possible for next year's trailer.
One more fact I learned on TV about Man of Steel: Russel Crowe and Cavill were close friends way before the development of the movie. They met when Cavill was just starting out and Crowe took him under his wing. So now I found it even more amazing of them playing father and son on film. It makes much more sense. They complimented each other well when they were on screen. Crowe was a fantastic Jor-EL. Best representation of the character and watchful eye father figure of lore in a long time.
FORUM IDEA: I was wondering if the admins would be cool if we just morphed this thread, the Batman one, and other comic book movie related threads into one shared thread. Make things a little more accessible.
#862 Re: The Sunset Strip » Motley Crue’s Nikki Sixx Encourages Fans to ‘Dig Deep’ and Purchase Fu » 688 weeks ago
I have to agree with Nikki here, there's something about listening to a full album.
More and more, I find people telling me they're big fans of an artist, but who can only name a couple of their songs. If I'm a fan of an artist, I have their entire catalog and I love everything they do. If I only like a few so songs, I wouldn't call myself a fan.

#863 Re: The Sunset Strip » Motley Crue’s Nikki Sixx Encourages Fans to ‘Dig Deep’ and Purchase Fu » 688 weeks ago
Completely agree even though I'm no angel to certain compilations and eventually come around to getting the full album. I'm getting better. Bands work a ton to make sure they don't have that one good song; but a whole album that could be hits. Def Leppard did that with Hysteria making sure that most of their songs on it weren't afterthoughts or filler; so the listener could enjoy everything. Which bands still do to this day.
#864 Re: The Sunset Strip » Jared Leto Says MTV Has Turned Its Back on Rock, Taylor Hawkins Says ‘ » 688 weeks ago
Pardon my french; but FUCK YOU MTV!!! YOU BUNCH OF SELL OUTS!!! Yeah..I was infuriated when they skipped the rock category to watch a washed up brat have a mental breakdown and in need of attention. They took out the Daft Punk performance and just had them watch, present a teaser for a video and an award when they don't even talk. They let their music do that instead. I was pissed because it was the only part of the VMAs I gave a shit about and when I found out that didn't happen. ugh. Taylor is absolutely right though. True rock n' rollers don't need a fucking trophy to know they have a good album or doing right by their fans. The new Foo record is going to kick ass even more than the last one which was killer and they'll show them how it's really done. Alot of bands in their early days proved they didn't need MTV's support to sell albums or tours. Van Halen didn't do videos when they returned with Sammy. They toured their asses off and won their fanbase and got that #1 spot in '86. It's becoming more and more about pop and while there is still some great pop music out there that can be hard to find. The awards are given to mostly crap that doesn't go out of the box or explore new ground. ROCK N' ROLL SHOULD STILL MATTER!!
Sorry I am normally not like this; but Rock doesn't need this treatment. We have the internet and fans that spread the word on good music. MTV is nothing now.

#866 Re: The Sunset Strip » The Video Game Console Thread » 688 weeks ago
I assume the price will drop again real soon. Originally it was over $200 and dropped down to $170 and in some areas you can get it for less than $140. They even do bundles for Animal Crossing, Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance, Mario Kart, Zelda, and other games here & there. But those are usually more of an investment. Ebay and Amazon you can get some sweet deals; but yeah I see what you mean. What console were you thinking about getting?
#867 Re: The Sunset Strip » PanterA » 688 weeks ago
I wholeheartedly agree. Phil has become a much better person over the past couple years. He even offered to let Vince kick the shit outta him and no fighting back if it meant just be on common ground with the guy. Just to talk and make up, no reunion or anything over the top. I know a tribute to Dime with Zakk his best buddy on guitar with the rest of the band would be really cool though. I would of loved to see the original band live if Dime was still alive and I got to know the music in an earlier time. That's cool man! Sounds like they were epic shows.

It's great that his grandma supported him alot and they kept in touch from time to time. Not sure if that's still the case or she's still alive. Great insight on his childhood and puts more of the positive from it. Good stories.

Phil reflects on Dimebag. Very heart felt and funny! 
In other news, I have been listening to alot of this band lately on their Greatest Hits and the Piss single from the Vulgar sessions. Two of my closest friends are really digging the band with me.
#870 Re: The Sunset Strip » The BATMAN Thread » 688 weeks ago
Ooh..Bridges would be excellent for that role. Brian did do the voice of Gordon for a Batman animated movie awhile back; so if someone else is offered Lex instead, then Gordon should be the next best thing for the guy.
