re: San Diego Comic-Con Mega-Thread: Updates and Discussion

For everyone's information, the problems with the Superman Lives script were not Kevin Smith's nor Tim Burton's doing. They were producer Jon Peters doing. He would only finance the movie on certain condition. He wanted a battle with a giant spider, fight polar bears, superman could not be shown flying, the suit had to be changed from red and blue to black ASAP because he felt the classic look was "too faggy" and that Brainiac needed to look roughly like the Mars attack aliens and have a cute space dog that resembled Chewbecca.

fricking Hollywood people with money. Btw, the giant spider idea was recycled into another movie he produced: Wild Wild West.
