yeah, I was glad they went away from a stereotype there. Obviously they had way too much to cover to devote time to thugs, but it was nice to at least have it implied that Brutus wasn't just some creep (though he was extremely brutal with Lois). And I don't really know why Kal Penn was cast, but certainly not for comedy. He wasn't supposed to be some stereotypical nerd. I'm not sure what he was supposed to be... I heard it was a little more detailed in the novel.
But anyway, it's a moot point as the thugs have been killed. Which is appropriate, since Luthor himself is likely to be playing second fiddle in the next film to whoever the big bad villain is, a la Superman II (though please don't use Zod. Please.)

Kal Penn's role as Stamford was to help with the Sunstone crystal and in a deleted sequence, it's revealed that he helped Lex trick Superman into going back to Krypton, so he could get out of prison.

The thugs were pretty dumb and pointless to the plot and purpose of the movie. Yeah, they beat up Superman when he was vunerable. But I could have thought of better villains than thugs. The thugs were a bit like the battle droids. All the same gender, hardly any brains, and yet, very devoted. In fact, for a good laugh, go to the superman cinema message board where all the posters are the same gender, have hardly have any brains, date fat women, and yet are very devoted to their webmaster who wears a turban.  Overall, I liked SR, most of it. This morning I was driving down La Cienga in LA and I had an SR flashback of Brandon Routh stomping his boots against metal and melting imprints of his boots into it.

sinister, yeah, it would have been a lot better if they'd been able to work that in. Because when you know Lex is the one who tricked Superman into thinking Krypton was still around, well, it just makes that whole plot better.
Personally, I hope that for MOS there aren't henchmen (except maybe Parker Posey if there's room because she's really funny). I would expect Lex to kind of be a secondary villain, hopefully to a team like Brainiac/Metallo.

Two villains for the movie?
Sounds interesting, but I wonder if Lex will be one of them?

I think that's a given considering Kevin Spacey has been saying he's signed for the sequel.

Not much, but it is a confirmation that they're working on the script.

Wow, I'm surprised that the report Brain (that was the name of the poster at BT) gave got all the way to ComingSoon. I personally believed him because there was no reason not to, he had a photo and all. But I'm surprised because he removed it from BT because people were bickering over it...
Suffice it to say, I felt this was reliable and interesting. Because we know Lex is one of the villains, so who will he be teamed with? Personally, I'm very much hoping for Brainiac. He could have hopped aboard the ship when Supes was at Krypton. It would even give them a reason to actually use that Krypton footage they shot.
Maybe that's just wishful thinking, but I think it would be amazing.

I think it will be Brainiac, but that he'll come in his head ship.

True but what are the odds they'll ever use Darkseid in a movie.

Do a "New Gods" film first. Then have him in Superman.

ok..is it just me; or is anyone else concerned that's it's the end of 2007 and no sequel has been greenlit yet.
All the talk is the JLA movie....and Batman: The Dark Knight
I don't see how...(and I'm a fan of Batman..not big...but fan) the Batman reboot..got a greenlit..but not Superman.
BB had a budget of 150..and made 205. 50 million dollar profit???? and that's a go ahead
SR had a budget of 260 and made 200; but that is totally WB's fault. 10 years of bullcrap..hell Nic Cage got 25 mil in pay or play deal. I mean..that's great managing 
So because of WB and their poor managing of Superman...they are gonna leave him behind??? I think that sucks..
btw: EW totally trashed Brandon Routh in the last issue; something to the effect...of "after lackluster performances of Affleck in Daredevil and Brandon Routh in Superman Returns" people are looking more towards the Tobey Maquire's and Spiderman for their fixes...who brings depth and emotion to the role.
Oh please..give me a break. Like people are seeing Spiderman because of the acto? It's all about costumed spiderman and special effects.
I was really looking forward to another Superman Movie....

Maybe Singer & Co. have a five-year or so limit on their contracts, and WB is wisely waiting for that to run out so they can try again with the franchise and do a better job.
Singer went way too much for the feel of the Spider-Man movies. Way too young of a cast (yes, I know Routh was the same age Christopher Reeve was in 78, but Reeve seemed MUCH more mature), a story that managed to discard all the spirit of Donner's original while being incredibly derivative, and too much moodiness.
Superman is NOT a Marvel character. Any angst he has, he endures by gritting his teeth and fighting through it, not by floating in the atmosphere thinking of depressing poetry for his MySpace.
Something is seriously wrong when I spend a Superman movie rooting for Cyclops.
