So not only do we have to force diversity for no apparent reason, but we have to force sexuality like PP and the WH does for elementary students. As if that weren't enough.I'll point out that while Superman was originally the 'defender of Jews and Christians everywhere' and that had to be scrubbed, just like Captain America and Indiana Jones, but since we are making one exception now, I have a character to suggest. How about the Ladyboy? |

Superman's reticence to pair up with Lois has been examined several times in canon (the actual comic books) and in the movies (non-canon, e.g., the storyline in the movies doesn't necessarily mesh with what is going on in the comic books, For example, in the X-Men movie trilogy, the characters are all out of sequence from their stories and eras in the X-Men comic. Kitty Pryde shouldn't even be in the sane class as the X-Men in the movies, because she's a generation younger in the comics, here she was, in fact, a New Mutant.).In canon, Clark never really gets into a long-term relationship with Lois, because all Superman's enemies might discover the truth and attack her, or (in another sequence) the sexual physiognomy of the relationship between a Kryptonian and a human just wouldn't work. (For an excellent exposition of this, read Man Of Steel, Woman of Kleenex, by Larry Niven, well explored in my link.) In Superman II, Clark voluntarily gives up his superpowers to be with Lois, but quickly discovers the world needs Superman. He ends the relationship after reclaiming his powers to beat General Zod and his accomplices, who are, aided by Lex Luthor (of course), terrorizing the world. He then erases Lois' memory of ever being in a relationship with Clark, or her knowledge that he is, in fact, Superman. Naww...my money is on Alfred, Bruce Wayne's butler...LOL! |

Some Superman movie should have had Brainiac as the villian. (Superman III anyone?)Since they're rehashing Dru-Zod, should have had Jax-Ur as a foil to him this time around. (Interesting character, Jax-Ur; got sentenced to imprisonment in the Phantom Zone before Zod because he blew up one of Krypton's moons, the one called Wegthor.) They do have Faora this time, who Ursa was based on. And now Larry Fishburne plays Perry White. |

Some Superman movie should have had Brainiac as the villian. (Superman III anyone?).Brainiac was originally to be the villain in Superman III. Indeed Nolan and crew toyed around with having Lex Luthor and Brainiac as the villains in this upcoming film, but apparently they decided to go with Zod. They do have Faora this time, who Ursa was based on. I don't know why they bothered to rename her in Superman II, maybe they figured "Faora" was too hard to pronounce? If Man of Steel does well enough to have a sequel, I think Lex Luthor will definitely have to show, and perhaps Brainiac or even Darkseid. |

"So not only do we have to force diversity for no apparent reason....."Are you like a "wart" who bases his life on "segregation" in American society? are you into denying certain people in American society the right to exist? seems so.....cause you find diversity so radical it eats your insides real good. |
