    Just to give you a hint of how unlikely this is, just go to Google and type in something like... Benjamin Franklin Statesman, or George Washington Statesman. Also, look up the definition of a Statesman. I think you'll be surprised to find that this term has been around... since... well, 1585.
    ...wow...

    I'm just guessing, but you either didn't see the video or you haven't used a computer ever.

    Just to give you a hint of how unlikely this is, just click the link.
  2. As long as he is in the wheelchair and talks in beeps.
  3. Well, at least there are no bat nipples or pointed shoulders. Just wait a few months and some lazy or forgetful artists will draw the black bat symbol on his chest.
  4. I wouldn't count Valor or the Daxamites because they were once Kryptonians.
  5. Yeah, both guys who made Superman stuck with it (and later scerwed out of it, but that's a story for another time). Captain Marvel was made later by two different people (C.C. Beck and Bill Parker). He was a very poplar for Fawcett Comics and at one time sold more than Superman comics (The theory is that since Captain Marvel was actually Billy Batson, a little boy, that most young readers could identify with him more than a grown up newspaper reporter). Despite the fact that Captain Marvel was very original from most other Superman knockoffs, DC comics successfully sued Fawcett comics and the comic was canceled. The rights to Shazam! comics floated around for decades. DC even made their own Captain Marvel knockoff called "Captain Thunder" for some minor stories with Superman. It wasn't until the 70's when DC comics bought the rights to the character and began to publish more comics (set in a different universe with some team ups with Superman from time to time, until the crisis brought the Marvels into mainstream continuity).
  6. Sentry, not only the undisputed worst Superman knockoff but also the worst character in history.

    It was the only part of the movie that felt like it was a Terminator film.

    I thought the McG re-imaginning was supposed to be continuing as a trilogy with the next shot in an apocalyptic London?.
    The film flopped and the rights were auctioned off again.
  9. Will it talk about how creators were screwed out of the rights to their creations?
  10. Meh, I usually ask people if they'll ever see/play said movie/game. I've done this for new releases.
  11. Not sure. The trailer had the decency to show the amount of sucking in the film.
  12. I can't wait to see Terms of Endearment in 3D!
  13. Dude's angry that his movie didn't do too well. That's what you get for doing a Millar story. It's funny, during interviews he and the cast members described it as "Watchmen, but probably more successful".
  14. Yeah, I'm not seeing that chick flick in disguise unless I get dragged to it, so I will be seeing The Expendables.
  15. I say get a character that can keep it in budget. I don't want to see a Superman show where it's all drama and barely any powers. I saw they should a Doctor Mid-Nite show, so you can have the "drama" filled in with medical stuff that's all the rage these days and have cool fight scenes that don't feel shoehorned or stupid. Plus, occasional team ups with JSA members.

    Frank Miller was a great writer, but film was never his forte. I mean, you all remember what a tragedy Robocop 2 was?
  17. The Death of Superman story proved that sunlight is his miracle drug. Unless he has green K embedded in him, there is no real need for medicine (plus if he does somehow contract an illness, it always some kind of drink that helps him get better).
