The Elite

[Froggy]

would they work in a superman movie?

[SuperSince92]

I believe it would, but you'd actually have to have some FIGHTING in the movie (something severly lacking in Superman Returns). If the movie is Action Comics #775, absolutely. That's a tale that goes to the very heart of what Superman is. It hit him right on the head and that still resonates with the American people.

thats what i was hoping, of COURSE it'd have fighting..I mean if they putt hat ont he big screen, it'd be dope. when i first heard about dc animated features i wa thinking they'd animate THAT!

[SuperSince92]

Animated, eh??? I think that would have made a good episode (or two-parter) on the animated series. As for a full-length movie, I think I'd rather wait to see some other stories done after Doomsday/The Return is released. (Perhaps The Battle for/Fall of Metropolis stories?)

Well said

If a comic fan ask me why I like Superman I just tell them to read that issue.

that sounds good! seriously!....I wish they could soemhow fit our worlds at war or something into a episode like three parter

Definitely not.

The Elite worked great as a metatextual comic story, aimed at people who were familiar with the evolution of the super hero genre at the time. The themes would fall utterly flat to a movie audience who would have no idea the Elite was a pastiche of another popular comic book team, or even that killing evildoers is supposed to be bad.

Wow, that was unusually insightful of me.

A cartoon version of it would work better, I think, since those are more or less aimed at us.

Not that they wouldn't like it if everyone bought the cartoons, but I think they realize they've mainly got a core audience, and can aim at a narrower demographic.

If only Superman was normally like that. I normally find myself supporting Lex in Superman comics on general principles (how long is he going to last before his brains get beaten by raw superpowers?) Against The Elite is one of the few times I've seen Superman look as if he believed he could be hurt.
