	Darth_Maul_Sith_Lord posted: "Brainiac, Metallo, Parasite, Darkseid... There's still plenty of material for another Superman film." As I said, "Non-fanboy". If you're not an avid reader of Superman comics, you're not gonna know who the hell Brainiac is, which, by the way, IMHO is one of the worst characters ever. Not to mention the dumbness of the name. No it would have to stay with Lex Luthor, or bring on Doomsday. At least with Doomsday there's some real drama. Superman is indestructible, it's really hard to relate to that, and there's only so many times you can use the Kryptonite angle, it gets old. Anyway, JLA will quite possibly suck anyway, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see. D_M_S_L I think Doomsday would be a good character to introduce but I don't think name recognition should play to big apart if the average non reader doesn't know who Brainiac is? What makes it anymore likely that they would know who Doomsday is?

	Indeed. Fewer people know Doomsday as he wasn't mentioned much when the death story happened. So name recognition shouldn't play into it. Ra's al Ghul and Scarecrow weren't as known to the average Batman fan and yet they were used and "Batman Begins" was a hit. General Zod wasn't known to many who never read the comics, but once "Superman" and "Superman II" came out, it was a whole new ballgame. Hell, Ursa and Non were created for the films and later introduced in the comics, after people kept mistaking Quex-Ul and Foara for them. -----signature----- Stewie: "Oh, this is an even bigger jackpot than when the Emperor came up with the formula for great Star Wars dialouge."

	I don't entirely disagree, I was simply stating that IMHO, there really aren't as many interesting baddies in the Super-man world as there are in Batman, Spider-man, or the X-Men. The Hulk and the Fantastic Four suffer from the same problem. They just don't have the well of villains to draw from. Don't get me wrong, Egg Head is the lamest bad guy in the history of Batman, but nobody tried to make a movie featuring him as the Bat's foe. At least they got Lex Luthor right both times, cuz man they sure ruined Dr. Doom. That was the worst casting decision since Halle Berry as Catwoman... They took one the greatest icons of Marvel super villainhood and turned him into a suave playboy-type yuppie, and didn't even bother to give him that cool metallic voice... Anyway, forgive my use of the term indestructible, but you got the idea. I'm not hear to argue over semantics. My point was that they're taking too long to move forward with any sequels, and Hollywood's thirst for money is greater than its respect for the fans. So I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the next Superman flick gets produced in a hurry and we end up with something resembling Batman & Robin. But seeing as how the JLA movie is going to be CG anyway, I no longer think the current franchises will suffer.

	Superman has Lex Luthor, Bizarro, Brainiac, Toyman, Kryptonite Man, Parasite, Mongul, Rampage, Zod, Ursa, Non, Dev-Em, Quex-Ul, Jax-Ur, Talos, Blaze, Santanus, The Cyborg, Conduit, Bruno "Ugly" Mannheim, Metallo, Doomsday, Maxima, Imperix, The Galactic Gollum, Bloodsport and the Silver Banshee. The Hulk has the Leader, the Abombination, Rhino, the Bi-Beast, the U-Foes, the Absorbing Man, Nightmare, D'Spare (sp), the miltary, the Hulkbusters, Samson and any Marvel hero they wish to pit him against. The Fantastic Four have Doctor Doom, Namor on occassion, Blaastar, Annhilus, Puppet Master, Galactus, Terrax, the Skrulls and the Super Skrull. Now, at the moment the JLA film is being fast tracked. That's the one that has to be looked at carefully. MOS is running along smoothly. -----signature----- Stewie: "Oh, this is an even bigger jackpot than when the Emperor came up with the formula for great Star Wars dialouge."

	Assuming this does get made, anyone have any good casting suggestions for the characters?

	I'm going to go out on a limb here. Since Batman will be in the JL movie, they need to make him a seasoned veteran, unlike the newcomer Batman that we have in Nolan's universe. Therefore, I'm going to say Adam Baldwin for Batman. -----signature----- Take your protein pills and put your helmet on.

	Rumor has it and take it as a pile of salt, that this Batman will be similar to the Nolan/Bale Batman. Meaning that this will be early in his career. While Bale won't be in it, supposedly, it takes place along that same time frame. One rumor and depending on how reliable the source, says that Talia al Ghul is in it and there's an allusion to her father's death in "Begins". -----signature----- Stewie: "Oh, this is an even bigger jackpot than when the Emperor came up with the formula for great Star Wars dialouge."

	It would be if they had the same actors. -----signature----- Take your protein pills and put your helmet on.

Well He would be an interesting choice and seeing as hes playing Superman in that Doomsday Movie, he'd be in the unique position of being able to say thats he'd played both Batman and Superman.

	It'd be a Michael Rosenbaum-ish situation. He voiced the Flash and Deadshot (maybe some other characters that I'm forgetting) before (at least, I think it was before) he played Lex Luthor. -----signature----- Take your protein pills and put your helmet on.

	Baldwin might be interesting as Batman and I wouldn't mind seeing Welling as Superman. -----signature----- *Host of the PT Trivia Challenge Game 12: Question 10 Posted!* http://boards.theforce.net/prequel_trilogy/b10669/23314477/p4/?184

Thank you for your lengthy lists of super villains, by the way, Rhino comes from Spider-man and Galactus is Silver Surfer, although both have been involved against the above listed Heroes. Anyway, argue what you will, my opinion remains, most of the villains, with the exception of Dr. Doom, Namor, Abomination, Galactus, Lex Luthor, and maybe Zod, listed are small-time, IMO. I think the X-Men, The Batman, and Spidey have all got bigger wells of baddies that are all more note-worthy, then all of the above mentioned. Example. Multiple Man may be a "cool" baddie, but I wouldn't go making him the prime focus of an X-flick. It's just the way I see it. Don't take it personally, I'm not trying to disrespect anyone or their creations.

	Batman undoubtedly has the best rogues gallery in comics. But the ones listed above are worthy for movies as well, I think. -----signature----- Take your protein pills and put your helmet on.
