Now tell me what do you think of this upcoming adventure ? :confused:

[West Mantooth]

Not necessarily. For one, EIC Dido said that Superman having a son would age him. But he could be sh-ting us. Donner is also suppose to introduce the new General Zod so it maybe some sort of rapid aging for Zod to be young again.

[Damo]

*Sighs.* I hate when things are solicited as "destined to be classic".

[Nick Kal]

What else would you expect from the director of Superman the Movie?!?

[Jack Zodiac]

Giant cellophane "S"s?

[Nick Kal]

Giant cellophane "S"s?

Except Richard Donner had nothing to do with that movie. Nice try!

[the Dagman]

Giant cellophane "S"s?

That wasn't Donner who did that. It was Richard Lester who added that after Donner was fired by the Salkynds.

I do agree on the "destined to be a classic" line. That is like looking at a restaurant that advertises "fine cuisine" out front and expecting to find some inside.

[TheTen-EyedMan]

I hope to Christ above that they are not giving Superman a son.

That flyblown s*** of an idea destroyed a movie series...I really, really hope to Christ it doesn't destroy the Superman books.

I hope it's like Batman's son...complete bull****.

Superman having a son wasn't the sole reason the movie was bad. The overall plot was the reason. The son plot was like 1/4 the reason mainly because of the way Singer did it.

Batman having a son could be much more interesting imo then Supes having one.

[Kilgore Trout]

I wonder if this is a way to reintroduce a 'real' Kryptonian Superboy?

I recall reading that Berganza wanted to do something along those lines with the ill-received Futuresmiths story but because there already was technically a "Superboy" he went with a future Supergirl...

Or so I recall...

If this new Superboy is from Krypton, is he Kal-El from a different or now defunct continuity or is he an entirely new kryptonian?

That Xuffash Al Binar dude from Kingdom Come would work but Hypertime/Multiple Earths are a blasphemy in the new D.C.

[Jack Zodiac]

Except Richard Donner had nothing to do with that movie.

Except for about a half an hour of film, no, you're right, he didn't have anything at all to do with "Superman II".

Nice try!

[CaptainAwesome]

According to Donner, neither Superman the Movie or Superman 2 were the movies he wanted to make. The problem was that the Salkynds wanted to film both at the same time and the budget was way to small to do that. Its kind of ironic if you think about it, because the budget for the first movie was way too small and the budget for SR is way too big. Its just something to ponder.

I think Superman having a son would be a great idea. I doubt it would ruin the character in any way (eventhough that is a possibility), but instead it would give him more depth. I would like to see the DCU as a whole mature a little, and I think giving Superman a son would help that progression.

[Nick Kal]

Except for about a half an hour of film, no, you're right, he didn't have anything at all to do with "Superman II".

I love how you're trying to point out I'm wrong and you're the one who pulled out the 'S.'

Donner had nothing to do with that specific part... happy? I'm still correct and you're still wrong! Woooo! Wooo!

[666MasterOfPuppets]

The idea of Superman having a son kinda worked in the movie. It gave the character more depth, as someone else said, and it was put in an interesting way (although the character was irrelevant to the main thing), but the comics are something entirely different.

Another Kryptonian? That could be VERY annoying, unless Johns and Donner make some real magic. I'm open to new ideas, but I'm tired to see Kryptonians everywhere (yeah, I'm exaggerating here, but there's plenty of Kryptonians with Kara Zor-El and the Zod from For Tomorrow).

[jeangreydp]

Yargh.

He's just going to become a short-lived character or yet another Superboy! :rolleyes:

Also, why a boy all the time? I want Superman to have a daughter. :p

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Who he´d name Lara?

Works for me. :)

I think its always a boy because the father-son dynamic is so important to the Superman mythos. Or maybe its just residual sexism left over from the 1930's. Anyway, Superman already has a "daughter" in Supergirl, at least to some extent.

[Iron-boy]

No.....10 character

[jeangreydp]

Ack- Supergirl.

He's got someone to mentor, sure. But not a daughter. She's not with Lois.

I'd say its probably residual sexism that keeps the idea of a superboy strong. I never really thought the father son dynamic was terribly important to the Superman mythos.

[Lorendiac]

*Sighs.* I hate when things are solicited as "destined to be classic".

A while back I was at a convention where about 3/4 of a long box was full of copies of "X-Force #1" still in the original flimsy plastic bags they were produced with. I believe it said something like "Collector's Item!" on the front cover, or maybe printed on the outside of the bag. If I wanted to, I could easily have bought fifty or a hundred copies . . . for twenty-five cents each!

Hasn't that been tried too? Just a few years ago? Cir-El, the Supergirl who claimed to be his daughter from the future during Steven Seagle's run?

Somewhere I heard a story that Seagle actually wanted her to be a boy, Superman's son from the future, which would certainly explain why she had a masculine Kryptonian name ("Cir-El") instead of a feminine name followed by her father's full name ("Cira Kal-El" for instance). Apparently they insisted on changing the character from male to female, but didn't bother telling Seagle to change the name to match!

Well, what do you know?

Honestly, I hadn't thought about that detail.

[TheTen-EyedMan]

Going on this, the monstrously overhyped Da Vinci Code has done it's job.

Jesus had a son...now Supes does too.

See...it's that whole Superman as the Son of Man thing.

Supersede....means to improve on and overtake.

I get it. I don't like it but I get it.

[BooCoo]

Heh, Supes may already have a son ala Bats.

If Lana's kid starts flying, we'll know something is up, and the s*** will hit the fan...

watch out. the smallville infection will spread further! :D

[BooCoo]

Yeah, an out of and now apparently IN continuity "son" presented to him by Talia. See "Son of the Demon." and the latest Batman ishes...kid's about 8 or 9 I think.

This is Grant Morrison's doing.

Holy crap. I never thought Batman would have a son. Hell, I never thought anyone from the Trinity would ever have a son.

[Lorendiac]

Apparently not everyone is fully aware of the details of what happened in "Son of the Demon," and how the fate of the "long-lost child" of Batman and Talia has subsequently gone out of continuity and then back in. This seems like a good time for a shameless plug for some of my own work! :)

A few months ago I posted The Ra's al Ghul FAQ (2nd Draft) (http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?t=125176) on our local DCU FAQ Forum. If you care to follow the link and scroll down to Question 1.15 on the FAQ, you will find my valiant effort to sort out just how the whole thing happened -- Batman once getting "married" (more or less) to Talia, years later later getting her pregnant, years later that graphic novel getting retconned into oblivion by Denny O'Neil because he hated it, and so forth.

A very complete explanation (yes, you're very brave. You even mentioned Pre-CoIE stories). Thanx for the link. Now I see things more clearly.

Well, I warned you it would be a "shameless" plug before I referred to my own effort as "valiant." You wouldn't expect me it call it my cowardly, half-hearted effort, would you? :)

And I had to refer to Pre-COIE stories all throughout the FAQ. As far as I know, the transition from Pre-COIE continuity to Post-COIE continuity had just about Zero Impact on Ra's, Talia, and any previous adventures in which Batman had encountered one or both of them! :)

Incidentally, on the subject of the Trinity having any sons: Ever since Geoff Johns introduced his retcon about Superboy's (Kon-El's) genetic heritage, I've thought of him as being Superman's son, genetically speaking, even if he doesn't have a birth certificate to prove it in court. After all, if 50% of his DNA came from Superman, and the other 50% came from Lex Luthor, doesn't that make them his parents for all practical purposes? (I got 50% from my Mom and 50% from my Dad, after all.)

[Big Blue]

I don't mind a reintroduction of Superboy, if that's what this is (I liked the character). But I'm getting a little tired of the whole, "But wait! Apparently there's one more child that was rocketed from Krypton". It starts to diminish the uniqueness of the situation that led to Superman's surviving Krypton's destruction. Let's get a little more original with things! Like the origin for the last Superboy. Cloned from Superman and Lex's DNA? That was original (for Superman/Superboy mythology).

Let's get a little more original with things! Like the origin for the last Superboy. Cloned from Superman and Lex's DNA? That was original (for Superman/Superboy mythology).

The story I've heard is that in the mid-80s, when DC agreed to use COIE as an excuse to sweep away just about all of their Silver Age Superman continuity and start over fresh, one reason for this was the feeling that it seemed like far too many people (and at least a few animals) had somehow survived the destruction of Krypton -- and it was getting tired. There was the entire population of Argo City, the entire population of the Bottled City of Kandor, numerous bad guys in the Phantom Zone, Supergirl, Krypto, Beppo the Super-Monkey, and last but not least, Superman's great-grandfather Var-El -- who had come to Earth, gained powers, traveled through time, and was now secretly living in the early-1980s version of Earth-1 without Superman being aware of his presence . . . and I'm almost certainly forgetting some other survivors.

In short, Kal-El had become "The Last Son of Krypton -- except for the millions of others of surviving Sons and Daughters of Krypton!" Somehow that just doesn't have the same ring to it as "The Last Son of Krypton" does. Hence, a desire for massive housecleaning in the Superman Mythos.

I gather that the desire to leave all those other survivors firmly in the past was behind several things that happened in the Post-COIE Superman continuity over the next 10 or 15 years (late 80s and all through the 90s). "Old concepts" would be dusted off and rebooted in ways that did not involve letting them come from the same planet as Superman, this time around!

Power Girl was no longer Kryptonian. Various Supergirls and similar characters were no longer Kryptonian. Phantom Zone Kryptonian Criminals only existed in a "pocket universe" and were killed off with Green K to get rid of them, anyway. There was a dog named Krypto who wasn't Kryptonian. The reintroduction of the Bottled City of Kandor in the 1990s was not packed full of Kryptonian inhabitants -- the closest they came was the occasional Daxamite who could gain powers similar to Superman's in Earth's environment, along with members of hundreds of other alien species mixed together. The modern Superboy, as described to us after he appeared in 1993, did not have a single Kryptonian gene! (Although the writers at the time of his debut made it clear that he honestly but mistakenly thought he was a Superman clone, because someone had told him so and he didn't know any better at the time!)

And of course someone insisted that the television version of Supergirl had to be Kara In-Ze, with similar powers to Superman's, but hailing from a different planet!

But now they're gradually lapsing back to their old Pre-Crisis habits. Superboy is half-Kryptonian. Kara Zor-El is Kryptonian. Krypto (last time I checked) is the name of a dog from a Phantom Zone Version of Krypton, or something like that. Power Girl is (once again!) from a parallel universe's version of Krypton. I only read "Supergirl #6" when it started her recent Kandor story arc, but I got the feeling there were other Kryptonians in it besides Power Girl and Supergirl. Or people who claimed to be Kryptonian, anyway. (As I said, I haven't read the later issues of that arc.) I haven't seen Beppo the Super-Monkey come back yet, nor Var-El (Superman's time-traveling great-grandfather) but I suspect that if I just wait long enough, I will!

So at this point it seems a little late to be getting upset about a new "Last Son of Krypton." (Not that I expect him to actually be Superman's biological son or be adopted as his foster son.)

[666MasterOfPuppets]

And that's an interesting fact right there. I wonder if something like that happened with Big Blue.

(I got 50% from my Mom and 50% from my Dad, after all.)

Well, yes. You're right on that one. And besides, it's something we kinda knew since the Reign Of The Supermen story. But I don't like to think about it given the "new" fact of where the other 50% comes from. It sounds kinda... err...weird.

Yeah, it gets annoying. And this is one of the reasons why I don't like Supergirl. Superman should be the ONLY Kryptonian left. The only one.

BTW, I had forgotten about the "original origin" of Post-CoIE Superboy. But what the hell, he's dead now.

[Lorendiac]

Amazing the way you say that with a straight face, as if "dead" in the DCU actually meant a character would never annoy anyone again, as opposed to just meaning "he's taking a nice long vacation from active duty in the comic books, before his eventual 'triumphant return!'" ;)

[mattx110]

if this involves time travel, the "last son of krypton" that clark meets could be himself as a child, putting jerry siegel's 'superman traveling to krypton when it explodes' back in continuity. or at least i can hope.
or it could be another variation of kal-el landing on earth years after he already landed through some kinda time travel, or idk, retcon the rocket crashing down to earth to rocket going back in time and looking like it crashed despite already crashing in the future...

You're so right on that. Not even Barry Allen...

I should have said "he's dead... For now."

JOR-EL AND LARA? Seems that will be true thanks to the mighty superboy punch! {god what a silly, awfull idea that is!}:evilangry

So true. Speaking of "dead" characters, I think it's funny/interesting how they are using the backup story for 52 ("History of the DCU") to give Troia a status of awareness of her "multiple" lives as well as turning her into something of a "Watcher". It's a great read to catch up on the basics of what DC has done with all of their "crises".

I think what truly dissappoints me, isn't even the rehasing of old characters in new light. I just don't get why they feel the need to reintroduce characters as quickly as they do. Superboy just died! Let him dissappear for a few years. It would make the "return" of a Superboy much more impactful. And it would let us read about Superman's adventures more, rather than Supes playing a supporting role to the revival of everyone who died with an "S" on their chest.

Agreed. It's as if they killed Superboy for nothing, just for the hell of it. I wouldn't have killed him, if I were going to resurrect him a few months later.

[Big Blue]

On the flip side, who knows? Maybe because it is so soon might be a hint that it's not the "Superboy" we are expecting... we'll see.

Well, I hope so. It would be disappointing otherwise.

[Agentum]

The kid in the movie was very creepy, so i hope we don't get him in the comics.

[BYC]

This has trouble written all over it.

Superman getting a son I can accept, if not thrilled with the idea.

This "Last Son of Kryton" not cool. Superman was the last son. And then he found Krypto. And then he found Zod. And then he found Supergirl. And now ANOTHER Kryptonian? Please no.

[Agentum]

Well his son would only be half Kryptonian i guess, but the kid in the movie seemed a bit autistisk or something.

But yes i like the concept of Superman being the last of his race, it's a tragic in it that i like, that is gone when other Kryptonians shows up, you know if there is one more Kryptonian alive there is probably another one and another one.........

I agree. It's just annoying. Supergirl should be erased from existence.

As for this new "Last Son", I'd bet it's not what it seems. It can't be that obvious. And I hope it is NOT what it seems.

i liked the kid in the movie. i kinda laughed when read that the last scene after supes gets into the house(hmmm?) and talks to the kid while he sleeps, well singer said the kid actually fell asleep at that point. and they didn't bother waking him up

I wasn't too put off by the kid, mostly because I was relieved that they managed too "preserve" Lois (if you know what I mean, and I think you do) by explaining that the kid wasn't Scott Summers', err Richard White's. Honestly, after the first viewing, the kid kind of grew on me.

If it keeps coming out erratically and having stories that blow...you will probably get your wish.

[davids]

To be raised by Lois and Clark! Perhaps Old clark and Diana had to hide their baby boy were he would be safe and raised by loving parents? Since recon punch can do anything let it do that!

[SpaceBooger]

isnt superboy-prime still alive, isnt he from krypton... hmm
hes a boy or "son" and he was rocketed from krypton
