Superman: The Man of Steel Returns....
YES!!! After a period of more than 23 years, Superman aka Kal-El is back on the silver screen! 
The last time we saw our man in tights was when he took on his own 'bad-half' way back in 1983. Since then hes apparently been on a inter-stellar cruise looking for the lost remains of his home town on Krypton. After finding zilch, he comes back to Earth and takes on Lex Luthor (played by Kevin Spacey) and tries to win over Lois Lane once again. Apparently some chicks are too hard to win over...even for Superman.
Personally i dont think much of seeing Superman take on Lex who is human afterall. Its like Spidey taking on ol' King Pin. You never get to see any real action in such a showdown.
What I really wanted to see is a standoff between Superman and his hardest nemesis ever..Doomsday! Now theres a bad guy who can really throw a punch or two. After all he is the only person/thing in the known universe who can kill Superman with ease.
So now its a looong and eager wait til the movie releases. Think its supposed to be out by the end of June.Wont settle for anything less than watching it in the theatre :p
Trivia:
1. Scarlett Johannson was screened for the role of Lois Lane but lost the part to Kate Bosworth who IMO looks much better.
2. Brandon Routh, who takes over the helm of Superman from Christopher Reeve (R.I.P) is from Des Moines, Iowa....the birth place of the Nu metal band Slipknot! \m/
3.
a) The old Superman aka Chris Reeve fell from his horse and was paralysed from the neck down.
b) Apparently the last role played by Chris before his accident was that of a paralysed person in the movie Above Suspicion! Talk about a bad omen...
c) When Chris fell from his horse he was doing a film on horse back riding safety!!
This is officially the most ironic thing to even happen on Earth or on Krypton.
It even beats out John Denver who sang "Im leaving on a jet plane...." and did just that. He died in a plane crash!

Dude... U missed out on the all imp link!!
@aragorn:I have to admit I totally respect Batman coz hes the only 'Superhero' who has no super powers...yet he manages to kick butt!
@freaky c: Hollywood does have a bad rep for screwin good flicks but then again Batman was protrayed very well in Batman Begins. It was the first Batman flick that actually showed the dark knight as he was intended to be....sneaking up on the baddies and taking them out before they know what hit em.
@aragorn and freaky c: Thanks a lot for the compliments. *Blushes*
i agree bout the batman part. no superpowers, just extremely trained, physically n mentally. and technology.
Thing bout sups is that in an all out fight theres no way anyone can beat him.
But hes forever the boy scout. bring them to justice n all that jazz.
in the 4th issue of batman, b4 they got to know each other, batman n superman went head to head. cant recall the outcome, but i think batman gave him the slip with ease.
and there was that jla series in which batty got kiked out for keeping tabs on every members weakness (which sum1 stole)...
batman is THE BEST!!!
quote from sum jla issue:-
sum1 inconsequential: batman?! hes just a man!!
Superman(with a slight smile) : yes. the most dangerous man on earth.
now thats sumthing!
and you read this one -
in one of the series in which lois n kent are married, after a sex scene (comic style - before n after),
lois comments : tonight you really earned the title 'man of steel'!!!
Interesting blog! and even more is to find one more superman fan !!
I have to admit I totally respect Batman coz hes the only 'Superhero' who has no super powers...
That is precisely the reason that i dont like Batman. Too ordinary. Spidy is also pretty lame i think.
I love superman but the sad part is that i havent read any comics of his :(. Hard to get that stuff out here.
@aalekh: Thank you. True Superman fans are hard to come by
@kunal: its actually not that hard to get Superman comics here.The regular issues are out at Crossword and you can find some rare ones by raiding your local raddi dukhan. Ive been lucky to find many good comics there ;)
The original Spidy is cool in the way he mocks his opponents while kicking butt. Tobey Maguire on the other hand is just gay!
