Grant says....give Superman some grit.

Comic book writer Grant Morrison was interviewed by the LA Times and he gave them some thoughts on what he'd like to see in the next Superman film.

“I can’t wait to see what they do. There are so many ways to tell Superman stories that might resonate with a modern audience, and I’m looking forward to see how Zack Snyder approaches it. Things I’d personally like to see are a non-camp Luthor, some other villains like Metallo or Brainiac and a more vigorous, go-getting Superman. The noble attempts to portray him as a Christ-like, American redeemer figure in ‘Superman Returns’ had the unfortunate effect of making him a limp and wimpy punch bag. Superman is a highly principled hero, but he’s no pacifist; he’s a brawler who doesn’t give in until he’s dead or the bad guy’s down, and I’d like to see a bit more of that grit."

Grant Morrison is obviously no stranger to the Man of Steel, having spent years writing the character in his JLA run and in his 12 issue All Star Superman series.

All Star Superman was adapted in to an animated film which came out this week.

We here at CapeTownCommunity will be doing a special Podcast, reviewing the highly anticipated film....so watch for that later this week film.
