We've got seven guests lurking right now. If you're on the fence, there's no time like the present to join in! At the very least, you'll be showing Brandon your support! Thanks!

Me + No BR = $0 spent.

Me + BR = $$$$$$ spent.

ETA: He will allways be Superman to me. ALWAYS.

I just posted a message over on the Just to Chat thread on the fan fiction board. I asked everyone to join us and for people to register and voice their support.

All I can say is it's time to speak up.

I've been telling my friends both online and off about this and tomorrow I plan to send in a few postcards. One of my friends even plans to send in a few Superman related post cards just to get the point across. We shall be heard! I have foreseen it...

Excellent, you guys. This means a lot.

H'okaaaay, we've got five more lurkers to convince before we hit a hundred. Anybody think we can hit a hundred tonight?

Thanks to the handful that voted in the last few minutes!

Vgerland · 08-27-2008, 06:04 AM

It is only 9:00 PM on the West Coast. We should go over a hundred easy.

Lady Gwenevere Smith · 08-27-2008, 06:08 AM

I also think it would be a good idea for those of us who have fanfiction.net accounts to post some sort of message on our profiles about this, especially if we've written any SR-related work. I have. Also, I'll be patrolling the IMDB boards to make sure the hate doesn't get out of control, and I'm gonna try and rally some friends together who are fans of the movie to write and/or email.

Don't forget your body armor. And thanks

Lady Gwenevere Smith · 08-27-2008, 06:12 AM

Let me edit that to add, I'll patrol Brandon's board, specifically.

I'm tired of coming back to this point over and over with the character. I'm sick of catching wind of WB's latest stupid plan for Superman, and then feeling like I'm going to throw up for fear that what they intend might actually happen!

I mean, back before Singer was announced as the next movie's director and that his movie would be called "Superman Returns," I was terrified. But then the announcement came, and I not only calmed down and found peace over the whole situation, but I became more and more excited every time Singer spoke on the subject!

It seemed, AT LAST that that terrible feeling that had loomed around every Super pre-production for years on end was solved...CURED. The franchise had landed in very capable and respectful hands.

But here we are AGAIN.

I agree with the folks that say that if SR had any REAL flaws it was that there wasn't enough cheerful, bright Superman. The film's story dictated that there couldn't be though, and that was the intention, to cautiously introduce a brighter, hopeful character into a world of Sin City, Hostel, and whatever else. A world jaded and bitter in its lust for blood and grit.

Introducing an EVEN DARKER Superman is the most half-cocked thing I've heard since news of George Miller's Justice League movie first surfaced!

The story of SR ended with Superman at peace, ready to be full on SUPERMAN, THE MAN OF STEEL once again...no reservations. No distractions. So, the film's darker flaws are gone as SR2 or MOS begins...

And it SHOULD be a SEQUEL, friends. Admit it. The kid could be an interesting plot to follow. Think of adapting elements of Action Comics' "Last Son" and the elements of Brainiac and "New Krypton." Geoff Johns is essentially writing the SR franchise already!

Yes, I said "Admit it." Admit that if they do a sequel to SR and it's jam packed with action and proper characterization, as well as a plot that reveals Jason to be a finite plot element, you'll be there with bells on. And you won't even remember wanting a reboot.

How could such a thing happen?

Singer should tap Geoff Johns as the Superman franchise's David Goyer. He needs a mythology keeper to give him direction. That minor tweak will be the cure for SR2ers and Rebooters alike. I know it.

BRING BACK ROUTH, and the cast...and SINGER. Add Johns as the Super equivalent of Batman's David Goyer.

Have you ever loved doing something, but found yourself not doing it as well as you had originally hoped you would? The natural reaction is to want a second chance. SR WASN'T A FAILURE...

GIVE THE MEN A SECOND CHANCE...all of them: Singer, Routh, Spacey, Huntington...and Superman.

It's not an investment if you run as soon as you're able.

super-dc · 08-27-2008, 06:29 AM

100 % for Brandon from me and my family in Palm Bay Fl. Brandon is Superman!!!!!!!!

Count Boobu · 08-27-2008, 06:32 AM

Well said, treeringralph. I especially loved your point about Superman being at peace at the end of the movie, having reclaimed his place in the world and ready to protect the people he cares for without any reservations. It's impassioned speeches like your own and the kind that began this thread that help to remind me what we're organizing for and what we believe in!

clairecheaux · 08-27-2008, 06:40 AM
