I’m hoping that they don’t adapt Superman: Earth One and instead choose the Mark Waid version “Superman: Birthright”.

I agree, a rehash would be a bad idea. As long as they dont do something retarded like they did in Superman Returns with the idea of the Superkid. Sorry, that was just plain retarded, dunno who came up with that script or idea but he needs his ass kicked.

As for Lois Lane… I wish Superman would move on from that character :p

Seriously…

(Part of me would also like to see at least a re-imagining of Clark Kent the journalist, or even a complete change. It sort of made sense decades ago, when journalists would have access to so much more information in the world, but in the era of the internet, blogs, 24 hour news, etc. Clark Kent could be a farmer and still have access to all the same information — he’d be better off in terms of knowing when the disaster struck by creating a Google Alert than he would just working for the Daily Planet.)

Consider this.

People are always complaining that there is no originality left in Hollywood, but those people are often the same ones who cannot accept that something might be different and unique.

Just because Ursa is in it, doesn’t mean there is a Zod in the shadows.

Maybe in this iteration, Ursa is the only survivor of the trio, out for revenge out of sworn duty to the fallen General Zod? Why can she not stand on her own?

That might be considered creative despite building on an existing character.

Ursa appears in Superman (78) along with Non and General Zod (as Superman ll was intended to shoot back to back with l before Donner was replaced). While Snyder has said Zod will not be in THIS picture, if Ursa is in this picture, it would not surprise me in the least if Zod appears in the next film. Or, at the very least, we know there is that possibility.

When I first wrote the post, it was on the Ursa news alone – and I was going to quote a link from another source. Then I saw an update on he misunderstanding regarding Lois Lane and a report on Diane Kruger denying her involvement. Latino review mentioned two of the three, so that was who I quoted with an updated headline and some editing.

The Ursa news is not a rumor. It’s legit. The misunderstanding with Lois is understandable.

Diane Kruger has actuaally said she wasn’t involved in the auditions.

Portman has always been as busy as she wants to be. She’s Oscar Buzz right now, but not the “it girl” of the moment.

Oliva Wilde seems to be the goto pick for fanboys to be in ANYTHING with a female supporting role lately.

I will pick Diane Kruger or Rosamund Pike, they have this villainess smoldering quality in them. I even gonna pick both of them for Emma Frost if there is an Astonishing X-Men movie. And we will sure kneel before them :P
Out of topic, if Olivia Wilde is the new Matt Damon, what make Natalie Portman of today?

Who’s to say that they cant come up with a story that makes Ursa more interesting?

There is a reason she is the right hand of a General.

It would be a mistake to include Ursa and not Zod. He is the more interesting of the two, and she was originally created to accompany him in superman 2.
