I fucking hate Superman. He's too powerful. It's too easy. Why create a superhero character that has only one weakness? And why have it be such an obscure one at that? I mean, a fucking radioactive rock hurts him? But not humans? Lame!!! I always hated that. I mean, this guy could be at the center of a nuclear bomb explosion and walk away unscathed, but if someone hold s alittle green rock near him he folds like a newspaper?? I don't buy it. Superman needs to have more weeknesses to be a better character.

Superman is just way too powerful. It's like what a child would make up if he could make a superhero: one that's all powerful. Just too boring.

i always reckon Batman would kick his ass.

Plus, the movie looks horrible. Bryan Singer may have directed and produced some good movies (The Usual Suspects, House M.D.) but I really didn't like his handling of the X-Men series. It seems kind of lame. It just wasn't the right thing for him. He stated himself that he didn't really know too much about X-Men and it shows in his work. The new movie may be well directed, but I don't know, another Superman movie??? Come one, let it die with Christopher Reeve.

Batman dominates Superman. He doesn't even have any powers. Superman has a severe dependency problem. He would never make it without his precious abilities.

The only superhero that's cooler than Batman is Gambit. He's Cajun, a thief, carries around a deck of cards, uses the King of Hearts as a "pick-up line,"and sacrificed his powers to be with Rogue. That's one badass romantic mutant. I earned the nickname "Gambit" in high school because I always had a deck of cards with me, and let me tell you, it was the most humbling experience of my life.

Yeah Gambit rules.

I haven't seen the movie and prob. won't until it hits on HBO. I do have to say that Kevin Spacy as Lex Luthor is genius.

I agree with all that. That's why Batman is always going to rule all.

the guy doesn't fight for the american way anymore. "truth, justice, and all that stuff?" screw that.

acousticrock87 06.29.2006 08:44 PM

I think it's supposed to be that he fights using truth and justice for the American way. Which is to say, sex, drugs, and rock & roll. But no one caught that so they just shrugged it off.

i never understood gambit's popularity, i always thought he was a bit of a twat.

acousticrock87 06.29.2006 10:14 PM

I take that more personally than if you had called me a twat.

Which probably proves your point.

Toilet & Bowels 06.29.2006 10:21 PM

no it doesn't. it proves something completely different.
