Mark Millar Pitches his "Godfather-Like" Superman Movie Trilogy

I generaly think of Mark Millar as an attention seeking whore.

Therefore it counts for something that he got someone like me very much intrigued.

According to the movies and show. Kal-el's ship left Krypton 1000 years ago to get to earth. How does that work into the aging theory?

Okay, Superman left Krypton thousands of years ago? I did not know that! On Smallville it was only about twenty something years ago. I also didn't know Millar was a commie!! The idea sounds great tho, cept for the ending, I mean, there has been given no end yet.

The leaving Krypton a thousand years ago can work:

Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity. The theory states that time slows down for an object traveling near the speed of light in relation to a stationary observer, time in the moving reference frame passes more slowly than time in the stationary reference frame is a concept known as time dilation. This means that a clock in motion with respect to a stationary observer is perceived by the observer to run more slowly than a stationary clock. The closer the moving clock's velocity to the speed of light, the more its seconds appear to get stretched out. It's not the mechanics of the clock that get stretched out; it's that time itself gets dilated. Applying this to a biological clock, then, a person traveling on a rocket ship at great speed would age more slowly relative to an observer on Earth.
Though it seems far-fetched, time dilation is a real phenomenon, proven by experiment. In 1971, scientists tested Einstein's theory on time dilation using atomic clocks, which are capable of measuring time to the billionth of a second. One clock was set to record time on the ground, while another traveled around the world at 600 miles per hour on board a jet. Though both clocks showed the same time at the start of the experiment, the jet's on-board clock was behind by a few billionths of a second at the completion. Just as Einstein would have predicted, time had passed more slowly for the clock traveling at a fast speed. Projecting these results over a much greater speed -- like c, the speed of light -- the time difference would be much more exaggerated.

And I don't know about Millar being a commie, but he is definitely a media whore at this point. I kind of agree with dxperry, the more ideas I hear about the reboot the more I favor just having Brainiac swoop in and kill Marsden and Super-Brat. I just hope they recast Lois, I wasn't feeling Bosworth at all in Returns, the rest of the cast I could deal with. If DC wants it darker, dead Superkid could pull that off without a reboot, or the need for yet another origin story for Supes...For the Love of God, we all know he is the last survivor of the doomed planet Krypton, yadda, yadda yadda...we got it already. Also, why kill the hero? Supes is like one of the Greek Gods, he may be eternal, but you don't have to show his death. Lame. Let's just get this thing on the road already.

As long as they kill off Lex Luthor. He has been in every movie. They act like superman does not have other villins. Either doomsday or darkside.

Come on...Superman Returns wasnt that bad. I agree it wasnt great but it was a good way to reintroduce Superman without starting over. Plus Singer was planning on making another one and im sure he would make it ten times better. Its not like he's incapable of making a good Superman movie. Heck... X-men 1 and 2 were 2 two of the best comic book movies ever in my opinion. Im sure he's heard the complaints about not enough action and Superkid. They're both easily fixable without a reboot. For god sake all ya need is Bizzaro to hug the kid alittle two hard a snap his neck. There's your darker movie with a pissed off Superman fight with Bizzaro that would make that Neo/Smith fight in matrix 3 look Rated G. I really don't want a reboot cause you know Lex has to be the first villian Superman meets. Thats just how it goes, Lex is his oldest enemy in movies, comics, TV, radio ect. So...Warner Brothers please just let singer fix the movie franchise with some help from so smart fans and while your at it change Smallville's name to Metropolis and have Tom Welling and Erica Whatever give fans a Superman Tv series that doesn't stink. Hint..Hint (Lois and Clark)

i wanted to see a superman movie with a character aging 35-45...someone more mature and emotional.

Death of Superman story arc would be great! A Combination of Superman aging leading up to Doomsday death, the Rise of the Supermen and Return.
Love your Spidey dance, parascythe.

But SUPES AIN'T IMMORTAL!

From begining to end I understand, but have the last one be cross over, not him being the last being!
