Please, not another lonely god...

I've just seen a trailer for the new Superman film "Superman Returns" (remind me again why I need to install iTunes when all I want is Quicktime?), and at the end you hear Jor-El's voice - this won't get a spoiler cut, because those who don't know who Jor-El and Kal-El are obviously don't care about Superman comic books - anyway, Jor-El says, "They can be a great people, if they wish to be. All they lack is a light to show the way. For this reason above all I sent them you, my only son." All this with very heroic music.

Good Grief! Since when is Jesus Superman's secret identity?


... and yes, I am probably going to watch it anyway. I grew up on DC Comics!

Superman's just too... good, and probably a little two-dimensional; has been for a long time. I've always preferred Batman, and Wonder Woman, of course.

I think I need to hit the comic store again sometime soon...

Did you know that there's Wonderwoman-movie in the works?

If not... look here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0451279/

And... shouldn't it actually be "I can't get excited about..." ...? o.ô *scratches his head*

Uh huh, excited about, I think you're right.

And speaking of being excited... Joss Whedon as writer / director? HELL yes! :-D
