I'm digging the hell out of the press on this one.

Superman Returns was awesome, for Superman... not Lex. I thought they completely went

stupid with his character. But the "human" angle on Superman was great. They could have

gone darker with it, of course, but overall I liked the whole voyeur thing when he was listening

in on Lois. I mean.. who WOULDN'T take advantage of that. Seriously.

So when the press talks about edging towards darkness with Superman.. yea, I get excited.

I want to see it from Superman's angle-- what "shouldn't" I do with my powers-- and from the

public's perspective-- just how trusting should we be of this guy. As an example, imagine if

Jesus actually did come back today. Some guy that could walk on water and cure the sick...

if he wasn't burned as a witch, he'd be trampled under the masses trying to get his attention.

I think it would make for a very dark, very real look into human nature.

Whats wrong with that?

because you cannot "ground" or make superman "to realistic" per say as they did with batman. they just assume because batman was huge success the formula will work for man of steel. sadly i don't think it will but i won't pass judgment until i see a full trailer.

What is your reasoning behind thinking they cannot make the movie in such a way?

Something also to note the colors of Superman were not always Red White and Blue. (not to mention the original mask for the Lone Ranger was purple (due to the dullness of the mask black would bring)

And now we know why-- Superman used to wear shorts over his suit.

Man of Steel Features "Superman You've Never Seen Before"

Director Zack Snyder discusses his "more serious version" of Superman.

As well as discussing the legacy of Watchmen, director Zack Snyder has been teasing another one of his comic book adaptations this week ? namely Man of Steel.

Speaking to the LA Times, Snyder explained ?It?s a more serious version of Superman. It?s not like a heart attack. We took the mythology seriously. We take him as a character seriously. I believe the movie would appeal to anyone. I think that you?re going to see a Superman you?ve never seen before.?

As for his fascination with the character, Snyder says it?s ?because he?s the father of all superheroes.?

?What was it about him that cracked the code that made pop culture embrace this other mythology? What we?ve made as a film not only examines that but is also an amazing adventure story. It?s been an honour to work on. As a comic book fan, Superman is like the Rosetta Stone of all superheroes. I wanted to be sure the movie treated it respectfully.?

Man of Steel is released on June 14.

    • PowerToys is getting a new window management utility

      By matthiew · Posted

      When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!

    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates

      By matthiew · Posted

      I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
    • Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version

      By qbrick · Posted

      Full ACK. I went too far adressing your post specifically. And as you said, it up to us customers as participant of the market dynamic as it happens to decide whether we spend our money on a product or not. The responsibility is to the company. In case of this price hike one could assume that MS is expecting or even starting to see a new interest in XBox hardware so they want to avoid losses per unit sold. I find it fair enough that they granted a period in which everyone interested could grab a unit for the current price (Amazon.de has a reliable stock of XBox Series X digital, which I bought last December after having sold my day one Series X a year ago). It is not that they cash up their customers starting on Monday. Cheers and let's cling to our perfectly fine hardware as long as we deem it worthy in relation to purchasing something new!
    • Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge

      By matthiew · Posted

      Not surprising at all. Apple got three months worth of marketing hype with the Macbook Neo's incredible low launch price. They have sowed the idea that the Neo is the best value laptop and that idea will last for years even though the value is no longer there. They do this every five years or so with a single new product that is amazing value which distracts from the rest of their products being horrendously overpriced.
