At this point it would be more transgressive to do “What if Superman was a really swell guy that everyone liked?”

“It took a $70 000 sliver of meteor to stop the one in Metropolis. With you, all I need is a penny for a book of matches.”

I think a much more interesting concept with Superman is, “What if Superman is good, but his concept of good is different to ours?” Like, what if Superman were a prude, and wanted to burn every red light district to the ground (after getting the people to a safe distance, of course)? What if we still need him to…

I loved ‘Kingdom Come’ because rather than ask “What if Superman became evil?” it asked what turned out to be a much more interesting question: “What if Superman became apathetic?” The story looks at what happens to the world when a man who was the ultimate symbol of hope for a better humanity gives up on us all. The…

Of the many problems the DCEU has, that’s one that’s always stood out to me. It started with Superman, fine, safe bet. Then movie two is Batman....fighting Superman? And the third is the bad guys are the heroes?

I wonder if someone sidled up to him and went, “Uh, Jim, you might want to check out The Boys, they kinda already went there and are still there.”

I’d say Starro wasn’t really a villain. He got majorly fucked over and was imprisoned and abused by humanity for decades. I would have killed them too.

Starro was perfect for TSS: incredibly powerful, and a bit scary ... while being laughably absurd in the best possible way :)

Yeah, I initially assumed he’d be the good guy and it would just be a villain protagonist movie. There are some potential issues with stakes and likability there, but nothing insurmountable. I think it could actually be a good twist on the superhero formula if they resisted the temptation to make Superman mind-controll…

It would make him the antagonist, not the villain. It seems like it’d be hard to really pull off well, because Superman would still have to be like Superman (and attempts to show how destructive he would be never really go over well with audiences because he’s such a revered character), but protagonist/antagonist only…

It would make him the bad guy In This Case, AntsNMyEyes.

Well, if you want to establish the Suicide Squad as heroes, then Superman has to be the villain.

I seriously am tired of “What if Superman were Evil?”.

I grew up with Christopher Reeve as Superman and have seen all the iterations from that point on, and I would have to say that Tylor Hoechlin is, for me, the best Superman I’ve ever seen in popular culture.

Seriously, how about we get Superman back as the guy we all want to be and we all need and send him away for like 8 DC movies and then have Luthor and Batman bring him back to kick Darkseid’s ass to such a movie theater pop that people are throwing babies when he shows up. Then he cuts the best promo of his live right…

What people like Zack Snyder fail to see is the reason Superman is so scary if he turned evil is because he is such a beacon for hope.  

It’s awfully reductive to dismiss them as racist fucks. They may also be misogynistic fucks. 

You mean like when you say “I worked on the Hill” and it’s something you can’t prove here and no one asked.

Strikebreaker Girlboss this fall on CBS!

Cute that you ignore that the same Polygon article says that statement didn’t really hold up to evidence, which they included in the piece.
