I love Portman, but there is no way she's doing Superman, just like Aronofsky won't do Wolverine and unicorns aren't real.

Just give it up, Dan. As much as we'd all like to see another (good) GB movie, it's just not going to happen.

Makes you wonder just how much nothing but sheer luck has to do with our very existence as we know it today. I think life evolves to the conditions around it, but if the Earth is just a little further away from the sun, or those volcanic clouds were a little bigger, or that asteroid doesn't kill the dinosaurs...

But they haven't told us if this is the last unicorn.

Yes, but are there four levels?

@JaiMak: Clearly we're too dumb to work in Hollywood. You can't just take an existing IP and actually follow it! It has to made mainstream (hello PG-13!) to maximize profits, with a recognizable big-name actor as MC so he can't wear the helmet all the time, and the director has to put his own "artistic touch" on it to…

@b33g33: With you on that. The courier was new, different, looked actually useful and cool and everyone wanted more, so of course they canceled it. Why would MS want to innovate when they can just make gobs of money cranking out the old shit.

@ManchuCandidate: I would watch that.

So, in Smallville, Clark has already faced the likes of Lex, Metallo, Mytzlplk, Bizarro, Zod, Brainiac, Doomsday, and now Darkseid. When he finally, finally actually becomes Superman at the end of the show...who the hell is there left to face? He'll become Supes just in time to realize he's beaten everyone and can…

I guess it's better than "Transformers 3: Balls and Bayhem", but only just.

@Log1c: Good call.

Lol, I just noted this in the #observationdeck not but two seconds ago. io9, as fast as the Flash! Here was my response.

Someone put me in hypersleep for 500 years so I can visit there one day.

If the rumors are correct, the title of TF3 has been released. It's "The Dark of the Moon."

@skywalker24: Yeah. You see him giving in to his rage and for a second, see how he fully give in later on, instead of the whiney love reasons Lucas actually gives. Now, if Padme had died at the hands of a Jedi...

@tralfaz23: Yeah, agreed. I really don't understand the refusal to use Brainiac. Even Smallville, which I think treats the Superman mythos like toilet paper, knew to make Brainiac a major villain.

@thekeith82: Ah, but is there a rear-facing camera?

I assume this is in response to the collective "WTF" from fans to the skittle Daleks.

@GregIsNotAnAlien: Agreed. Dish's DVR is absolute shiite. I really miss my DirecTV Tivo days. They say it's coming back but it keeps getting pushed out...

@aec007: You're right. Flashlights, flamethrowers and guns couldn't possibly have existed in 1982.
