I've seen that before but it's both is actually based on the Superman/Batman comic that has been published since 2004.

I Am Legend wasn't released till December 2007!

With all the Superman/Batman chat in here, I keep forgetting that Wonder Woman is in this film too. Should be interesting.

I am expecting the WW character to ruin the movie. I hope I'm wrong, but I fully expect it. She is already one of the more cheesy members of JL and it always feels like she is being forced on the customer.

She is considered at least in the comics and by DC Comics to be on the same level as Batman & Superman.

I hope that Warner Bros. really understands that.

In terms of powers, I guess she's more on par with Superman than Batman. They should be able to make her damn awesome if they do it right.

I think he was speaking on stature, not powers.

In the New 52 Superman and WW are romantically involved. There was a cool scene just before I quit reading where Batman is explaining to SM why their relationship would make some people nervous. He was showing SM his doomsday files on how to take down his fellow JL members if he ever had to. Basically he said WW has no weakness and Superman is the only one powerful enough to stop her.

I've noted this before but the problem with the REALLY big heavy hitters (Superman, Thor, etc) is that what they can do pretty much moves around predicated on the story. Once you're shown capable of acts of power on a nigh cosmic scale how do you then write a story where they can be challenged by anything less? Often the work around is to throw in wild cards, like magic.

I'm not really anywhere near geek-level knowledge on such things but I'm under the impression that over the years (in a general sense) they've tried to reign in some of Superman's power levels and up WW's just to make the writing more interesting.

Your right with the power levels.

However, I was meaning in prestige of the characters. Its always the big three of Superman, Batman & Wonder Woman.

Look I always and still do think that Green Lantern is the second most powerful and third on the old totem pole. I'm not sure about what todays era comics represent but Golden and silver age comics this most certainly true.

Well when Superman first appeared his powers were waaaay scaled back. The phrase "able to leap tall buildings in a single bound" was more than accurate since he didnt fly. Slowly he kept getting more and more powers until he was near omnipotent by the mid 1950s. The evolution of Superman as a reflection of society over the decades is some pretty fascinating stuff.

You are right as far as serielized story telling though. Its hard to keep Superman interesting month to month in the comics. Or week to week for television.

But for a movie every 2-3 years there is enough good stories from the comics that they could easily pull from.

Is this Aquaman??? I hope this is true!


Jason Momoa to Play Aquaman in BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE?

Jason Momoa to Play Aquaman in BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE?

There's a big rumor that has hit the internet from a reputable source that claims Game of Thrones and Conan actor Jason Momoa is set to play Aquaman in Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

The news comes from Drew McWeeney of HitFix who doesn't screw around with this stuff. I believe he's one of those guys you can trust when it comes to this kind of news. He was the first to report the new Star Wars trilogy. Since the studio has yet to confirm, we'll treat it as a rumor for now. This is what he had to report:

"While Warner Bros. hasn't made that announcement officially yet, HitFix can confirm that he will be playing the part, and that Zack Snyder has already finalized his designs for the character so shooting can take place soon."

Momoa was asked back in March about the rumors of him being cast in a DC superhero film at Detroit Motor City Comic Con in which he responded:

“I think it started when people said ‘What superhero would you play?’ And I’d say Batman and Superman, they’d be awesome together. Then people were like, ‘He’s in 'Batman vs. Superman!’ I’m like, I really like Lobo. ‘HE’S LOBO!!’ And then some ******* was like ‘He’s Aquaman!' And I’m like — what did you just call me? Where the **** do you pull out Aquaman? Seriously… And then it shows up on the Internet. Not that it’s a bad rumor."

Just because he completely denied it there doesn't mean it's not true. You know how directors and actors like to play games with the fans. Remember when Snyder denied up and down that Zod wasn't going to be in Man of Steel? Then there was J.J. Abrams who kept saying that Khan wasn't going to be in Star Trek Into Darkness. We all know how those turned out.

This news could prove to be true or it could be false. Either way I'm sure one day Aquaman will see his day on the big screen, and I could easily see Momoa pulling it off. I know he's not the best actor in the world, but it's Aquaman, and Momoa seems like the kind of actor that could possibly pull it off. What do you think about the this rumor of Momoa taking on the role of Aquaman?

This is why All Star Superman was so good, IMO. Kept his powers (and even thensome, really) but made the problems internal more than anything.

Power can be defined in different ways as each character has weaknesses, so it's hard to really put together a totem pole of who's more powerful. But in terms of pushing characters, DC has always pushed Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, in that order. They've been known as DC's "The Big Three" for a very long time.

Some good stuff here!! Hopefully they are correct on the Wonder Woman news!! We have waited so long to get WW on the silver screen I was afraid they would go with the crappy DC Comics New 52 look!

Amy Adams Gives Up First Class Seat to US Soldier in Coach

Amy Adams Gives Up First Class Seat to US Soldier in Coach

Amy Adams made one American soldier's flight to L.A. much nicer.

Before her plane from Detroit took off, the Oscar-nominated actress, who was booked for a first-class seat, noticed a man in uniform at the gate. She then privately asked to switch seats with the soldier, who had been ticketed for coach

"I noticed Ms. Adams was in first class and as I was getting seated, I saw the flight attendant guide the soldier to Ms. Adams' seat. She was no longer in it, but it was pretty clear that she'd given up her seat for him," fellow passenger Jemele Hill, co-host of ESPN2's "Numbers Never Lie," told ABC News. "I was incredibly impressed, and I'm not even sure if the soldier knew who gave him that seat. I guess he will now!"

After the switch was made, Adams, 39, met with the soldier briefly and privately by the cockpit, Hill added. The actress, whose father was in the U.S. military, then went back to her new seat in coach.

"Ms. Adams did it so quietly and quickly that it speaks to her character," Hill added. "And somebody in coach just got a helluva seatmate!"

Nothing says Superman like standing in the rain with a gloomy background. Then again, maybe the sky is still filled with ashes after 3/4 of Metropolis was destroyed.

So I guess we're getting the impression that this is going to be a pretty dark film. Man of Steel was pretty dark, especially the ending.
