IGN Says:
Superman vs. Viggo Mortensen's General Zod in Zack Snyder's Superman reboot is a great idea. But Superman vs. Zod feels like a "safe" choice, especially coming from the guys who gave us Watchmen and The Dark Knight.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
A great article. I really love the idea of a return of Zod, but I think Brainiac would be particularly epic especially if he has henchmen like Bizarro.
Its a Superman reboot, with that being said.
-NO to Doomsday. I would absolutely love to see him on the big screen, but not in a reboot film. You cant come back, then kill Superman right away. You need to build him again and make people love him again, then kill him.
-Todays visual effects, why is there no petitions for Darkseid?! Its like the ultimate Superman villian and Superman hates his guts to the max you could hate someones guts. Thats probably the most fun thing to write with period. I seriously want Darkseid.
-No superman movie is complete without a mention of Luthor, no iffs and or butts about it.
Am I the only one who doesn't care to ever see Doomsday in a movie? Would it be cool? Hell yes, it would be ridiculously awesome, but on the whole, there isn't much to his character. Sorry, I prefer my villains to have some sort of substance to them.
Doomsday is essentially an animal; agressive and feral. There isn't a whole lot of depth there, and nothing that Superman really would have to use his mental abilities for as well. Just not enough substance there for it to be done right.
General Zod is just about always my top choice. Brainiac is always good, and Metallo would be very interesting to see.
@DLZ - You might be the ONLY one in the world who doesn't want to see this.
Many are also calling for the death of bats in the next Batman flick. Why? because it's a fitting end to that Universe and it would be the fitting end to the Superman universe that's being started up right now.
Yes! Doomsday isn't much of a character, but he could be presented as a feral being that's be slightly tamed by someone/something and used as a tool to dispose of Superman. To see Supes die...well I have to admit that it would kill me just a little bit inside but this is Superman. A hero as epic as him should get a story equally as epic. This would not only cause a great stir for the fans of the comic, but for non fans who only know of Superman to be an invincible hero from another planet.
I don't think Doomsday should be in the next movie since we're like;ly to be regaled with the whole origins story but for the 2nd and 3rd I think we'd have an insanely awesome story arch for the new series and a very cool ending because I think Hollywood wants to run in 3s before moving on.
