Can't wait for Nolan's Superman. Hope he doesn't try and get too psychological with it, and give us a fucking Clark Kent movie. I also really don't want to sit through another origin story. Just give us a massive scale Superman story where he saves the world via super powers. He should super-punch a giant robot at some point.

Good question...

I'm not a comic-book nerd (although I am seriously nerdy in other ways), but I'm guessing that whatever changes our freaky yellow sun did to Kal-El (aka Superman, aka Clark Kent) were permanent changes.
At least that's what Superman II is trying to convey, methinks.

Absolutely nerdy question just came up in my mind:
So at the end of Superman II, Kevin smith says that superman flies out into space to find other Kryptonians... shouldn't this not work? I mean, isn't the power of the Kryptonians based on the fact that our yellow sun does some mumbo jumbo to them?
I mean, once he gets far away from the solar system, wouldn't he lose his superpowers and just die out in space somewhere?

'Race Card' is the biggest cop out ever invented. If you don't want to be accused of racism, don't drag race into these videos. And don't praise rabid and violent racists. The below quotes are from this thread, not YouTube:

"Black people.. makin' [half of] me look bad"

"Listen to enough black comedians (Eddie Murphy to be precise) and you'll learn that much of their fighting consists of scaring the opponent in hopes that they don't actually fight."

Please explain to me how this kid's actions reflect on all black people? Again, why drag this into it? It's this kneejerk racism that gets me. And you want to defend it and EBM.


Danny, the guy yelled many racial epithets. Stop making EBM into Clark Kent. It was clear he wanted to instigate a fight. Anyone, but EBM's weaker, stupider prey, could see that that kid was outmatched.

Sorry to say this but there's a lot of sorry excuse making going on here, including you peggedbea who i'd expect more of.
So many people playing the race card, or trying to. Very easy to pass something off as racism, in fact in our society i think we fanatically adhere to anti-xenophobia to the point where we're dangerously on the other side of the line of fairness.
What this comes down to is one moron threatening a guy and getting his arse kicked within a reasonable limit. I'm not an expert in smack talk, slang or american accents but i didn't hear any racism from EBM, especially before any racism was thrown at him.
The guy moved away, he didn't want to fight, but some dickhead had to try and ruin someone's day, and he got his shit ruined.
You make me so angry making excuses for these fucking morons.. people like this guy (yes he's black but that's only an identifying characteristic, NOT RACISM) are the reason this world is going to shit. I hope he fucking chokes on his teeth, and i hope EBM can kick some more ass of people who go around thinking that they're untouchable and can do what they like without consequences.
What a disappointment, videosift. A guy defends himself from physical assault and you shout him down.

Clark Kent from Superman III, where he is powerless, compromised by the debilitating effects of Kryptonite

AKA:

A drunk man with glasses and a Superman shirt under a suit, continually drinking alcohol all night, mumbling about some 80's movie.

Ouch! How many can Clark Kent/Superman do?

Look, Up in the Sky! The Amazing Story of Superman is a documentary film from executive producers Bryan Singer and Kevin Burns which details the history of the Superman franchise, from comic book, to television, to the big screen.

The closing credits feature outtakes from the Christopher Reeve Superman films, including an outtake of Marlon Brando improvising during the recitation of a poem in a scene deleted from the original version of Superman II.
