[Sophisticated_Gamer]

[Bat-Mite]

[Sophisticated_Gamer]

Old school Superman had many tricks up his sleeve. That was meager compared to his "Super-multiple man trick" and "Super-repair-wall-o-vision", not to mention the more well known.

lol well can you give me a quick explanation adn a rund down please?Well, it's been awhile, but I'll try.

In Superman II, Superman takes his s-shild and throws it at the three Kryptionians from the Phantom Zone. I don't know why he can all of suddend do that. But it's damn funny to make fun of.

Those weird never before heard of tricks we saw the Kryptonians do in the Superman 2 movie was, iirc, due to a change of director halfway through the movie being shot.

The original director knew at least the basics of the Superman mythos but his successor was pretty clueless and thus decided it'd be good for a laugh if he threw in some extra powers for no particular reason.

I believe there's meant to be an original directors version of the movie coming out at some point but I don't know any details.

Superman has always pulled extra super-powers outta his...uh...cape. According to the original TV show he can phase his body so he can walk through walls without breaking them. The comics established super-face changing powers and super-hypnotism. The first SUPERMAN film (no, not SUPERMAN VS. THE MOLE MEN) established he can levitate something by merely touching it -- which explains how he can lift buildings, oil tankers, etc., without his hands puncturing through the bottom due to the weight on them.

Let's not forget the amazing memory-erasing Super-Kiss he gave Lois Lane at the end of Superman 2. Superman has Super-Kiss. That's great.

But I've seen weirder things:

At least in Superman 2 it could be reasonably argued that Superman was using Kryptonian Technology aginast them, and that would be fairly plausible.

The only explaination for his whacked out powers in Superman 3 and 4 is that they sucked, mostly. Superman 3 had alot of good stuff in it between the crap, and Superman 4 had a decent villain (sue me, I dug Nuclear Man).

The flat square cell is the movie version of the Phantom Zone. In Superman 2, General Zod and co are found guilty, put in the Phantom Zone (the flat square cell), and banished into space.

Later, while fighting Zod and crew in the Fortress of Solitude, Superman pulled off a layer off of the S on his chest and flung it at one of the other kryptonians. It expanded in midair and enveloped him completely.

In short, they were pretty much ridiculous items of a decent movie that Family Guy is picking on. Clear now?

[Sophisticated_Gamer]

yes very..thx a lot

[Mike Smith]

Superman 4 had a decent villain (sue me, I dug Nuclear Man).

I'm sure that has to be some sort of blasphemy. :p

[Scorpion13]

I care not.

Say what you will about the rest of the movie, and Ill say it with you, but Nuclear Man burning his footprints into the gorund kicked ass.

[Black Atom]

I care not.

I dug Nuclear Man, too. He's surprisingly well done for a completely original villain.

He was Bizarro in the first draft of the script, but Canon Films (inheritors of the SUPERMAN franchise) didn't wanna shell out the bucks to license him so he became Nuclear Man instead.

To be fair, this one was from a story whereby the writers ballsed up the whole of the story on purpose as it was an April Fools story. Readers we asked to find how many mistakes they could spot.

yes That is a side splitting scene.

[ChrisIII]

The Phantom Zone and the Kryptonian villains are interestingly minor characters in the comics....DC has at times tried to create a decent General Zod, but most of their efforts don't measure up to Stamp's potrayal.

What I find funniest about things like this is that to begin with Superman only had X-Ray vision, he then learnt how to focus it into beams, this became heat vision (because as we all know, radiation is hot, hmm), so whenever he uses his heat vision on any one he's actually irradiating them.

Superman (after using his heat vision on a random crook): Haha criminal, no children for you, and maybe a slight bit of cancer as well for your troubles.

Aah Superman he's my hero.

From watching the "Superman Returns" special on A&E, I understood that they were filming Supe1 and Supe2 at the same time. Kinda like what Peter Jackson was doing with LOTR but then the ywere told to concentrate on the first movie and had about 60% of the second movie shot. When the first one was a success they didn't get Donner to finish the second movie and got the other guy "whose name i can't remember at the moment"
