I can't believe Kevin Smith took the horrible, stupid ideas that the producer had and churned out a screenplay that actually sounds pretty awesome. Seriously, I would've loved to see the movie come into fruition, it sounds like bonkers 90s fun.
No, Wesley Strick & Tim Burton's take on Superman was much better than Smith's and anything that has came since (until Gunn's movie anyway). In the comics, Superman didn't even know he was an alien until many years into his Superman career, long into his adulthood, and when he found out, it meant nothing to him beyond the explanation for his abilities. That's how Siegel & Shuster did it. Being an alien is just the excuse for the powers, nothing else. Everything else comes from being Clark Kent, it is Clark Kent that creates not just the Superman persona, costume, S symbol, and morality, but he also creates the mild mannered reporter disguise. Clark with superpowers is the real guy and he creates both the Superman persona & mild mannered reporter disguise. Strick got this absolutely right.
When I watched Con Air, Nic Cage felt like Superman. He was heroic, stoic, Nobel and a hero. He was buffed out to. He had the presence of Superman in Con Air.
Nicolas Cage is a comic book guy, so he understands this stuff better than a lot of Hollyweird, but that doesn't mean he's a good fit for playing a lot of the comic book roles.
I love the middle-aged woman as a comic book fan. I just love how this medium can connect us all. Including derision at the shady, tired tactics of the industry.
you HAVE to watch Kevin Smith tell the story of him writing the script and then taking it to Peters house to read it to him! Peters demanded he have a different suit and NOT FLY?! ego maniac that killed the movie!!
@@apollosungod2819Henry Cavill used to be a "tv actor", Margot Robbie used to be a "tv actor", so many big time A list actors who started off in big movies used to be tv actors what're you even saying 😂
When you look at Burtons Batman 89', it influenced everything about the character and Batman fandom. To see their concept be so far off of what Superman should be, I'm glad they shut this thing down.
@aericabison3560 oh my god thank god for the one and only aericabisom3560 it's a shame there are no other superman stories that interest them as we are all waiting patiently for them to animate something.
You know while I'm a bit mixed on whether this Film would of be any good I think the idea of K, the little robotic teddy bear that Clark's biological parents send to earth with Him , is actually really good. It would of given Clark something hinting to His Kryptonian origin without spelling it out clearly for Him and I like how K would be able to morph, eventually becoming the suit Superman wears upon being brought back. Great concept I'd like to see another writer use.
I actually thought Brandon Routh nailed the Clark Kent side of the character as well. The Returns script just didn’t give him a good enough Superman to get behind.
Next would've probably been Tim Burton's Justice League. Starring: · Nicholas Cage as Superman · Michael Keaton as Batman · Lara Flynn Boyle as Wonder Woman · Johnny Depp as The Flash · Marlon Wayans as Green Lantern · Tom Cruise as Green Arrow · Nicole Kidman as Black Canary · Billy Zane as Lex Luthor · Etcetera
WB really dropped the ball with this project in the late 90's. Because of the success of Burton's Batman movies, there was so much hype for a Tim Burton and Nick Cage Superman movie. Great video!
May I say I completely disagree, Burton is an Emo freak who would've Gothified Superman, painted his nails black and have him smoking pot. Also, Nic Cage, and I did like him in The Weatherman, but he is extremely ugly, extremely skinny and extremely bald, to play Clark Kent, a handsome, jacked alphamale from Kansas, did I mention Nic Cage is ugly? I mean super ugly, ugliest actor alive, followed by Keanu.
@@DeCurtaRicannot even remotely close to being the truth. Batman Returns was the #1 grossing film in 1992. Warner Brothers thought it wasn't kid friendly because of alot of the content which made it harder to sell merchandise and promotional tie ins that were mostly aimed at kids.
The thumb nail image is incorrect. That was Henry's original suit for superman flyby. They showcased it in a video, and the viewers got it wrong. The guy said it was the superman lives suit, and it wasn't. The final main suit for lives can be seen, and it resembles more of an 89 batman style.
There's a great document about this called *The Death of "Superman Lives": What Happened?* Highly recommend for anyone who finds the BTS of it's production fascinating.
@@cicolasnage5684 My favorite part of that was when Lex saw the world the way Superman does all the time. With the idea that on a microscopic level everything is connected. Additionally, Superman should ALWAYS know what to do. He's the hero all other heroes strive to be. I want Clark Kent/Kal El NOT Peter Parker.
You should do pitches for sequels. I bet you'd come up with some awesome stories. Revive franchises, fix mistakes, all that stuff. But I've been subbed for like a week or so and your vids are incredible. Keep it up.
A lot of these ideas have been used in comics and games. The skull for brainiac ship is always his ship. Lex and brainiac fusing together was used in the justice league cartoon. That movie would of been awesome. Somewhere in the multiverse we all enjoyed it
Never cared for spacey as LEX.Woulda much rather have had Billy Zane as LEX, he was def popular in the late 90s following Titanic.He woulda been a great rival for Cage's SUPS!!
It sounds like Kevin Smith's script was pretty awesome as it was. That was the reason Nic Cage wanted to do the movie in the first place, and since he was responsible for bringing in Tim Burton, I don't know why he would have let Burton fire Smith and then hire the guy who helped him to ruin "Batman Returns". I don't understand why people keep thinking that Tim Burton would make a good comic book superhero movie director. As much as people complain about Peters, it sounds like his ideas for the first Batman movie were some of the best scenes in the film. The iconic alley sword fight and the gothic cathedral at the end of the movie were things that I remember most (aside from Nicholson's Joker performance).
@@CButler4223 still, its such a unique take to have Brainiac have his consciousness transferred into a giant spider. more like having an alien entity morph with animal from our world. would have been a great idea to explore in my opinion
thanks bud everything that needed to be said without a hour and a half doc i had to watch like twice just to watch this once new fav channel big guy thank you lmaoooo
@@Bulletsandblockbusters i dont need to see a cartoon spder fight which i didnt need see any way to get the point that doc did to much knew most stuff anyway yours perfect right to the point plus your angle claps champ
Interesting fact about the cathedral fight at the end of Batman 89. I wonder what Burton's had in mind for the original showdown between Batman and Joker? Thinking about it now, what was Joker's intention of taking Viki Vale with him? Was he just going to kidnap her?
@@Bulletsandblockbusters Now that would've been something. First Napier kills Bruce's parents and then Joker kills Vale. However, we'd need to know why he kills her. Maybe Joker gets mad because she doesn't want to be with him.
Well joker shot down his bat plane and Vicki came to see if Batman was alive. That’s when joker basically captured her, then He radioed for his goons to pick him up by helicopter and the only way to get away was reaching the top of the tower to get to the copter as I doubt it would have landed in the streets without the blades hitting something. But yeah In a nutshell he was kidnapping Vicki vale.
If they ever pull a Crisis on Inifinite Earths thing, I really want to see an older Nick Cage Superman. Just a proper hurrah, and not a CGI mess like Flash
I think 1 reason the modern generation identifies so much more with Batman than Superman is the lack of modern 'classic' Superman films. I mean think about it, 1987 Superman ends, 1989 Batman begins, it basically replaced Superman! How many truly successful films has Batman had on his own since then? 6? How many has Superman had on his own since then? ONE! LITERALLY ONE! And One terrible one, plus one shared with Batman that I'm not counting. Batman of course had the same shared film and then one terrible one as well. So, yeah. Superman is just an obsolete Superhero.
As a 40 yo I never understood why I stopped/never started watching big universe superhero movies after the 90’s. I love superheroes and the comic created universes. Really enjoy the escape into brutal realities where the disparity of power includes natural, or artificial, abilities. I’ve found myself listening to audiobooks consistently for the past 15 years (yes pre audible and torrented to which I feel guilty). Also, not a huge Cage fan but damnit he really would have portrayed an outworlder so well. Also, while not a fan (due to the nat. treasure franchise) dude commits. Been watching a few of the yt uploads recently and realizing how much my developmental teen years were pushed away from superheroes. I knew, from my older brothers and my own reading, what superheroes were. Flawed, destructive, brutal, petulant and f’ing awesome. The current superheroes are so darn flat. Not hating, just can’t enjoy the characters currently in the largely accepted universes everyone watches today. There are a few dirty pleasures, so feel free to criticize lol. First season of Heroes, a couple Wolverine movies, plenty of anime/cartoons that are comic or manga adherent, the Boys, the one with the blue dude and the Rorschach mask, Edward Norton as hulk (possibly should be ashamed of that one:), smallville first 2 seasons, Deadpool (spl?) makes me laugh, and I’m sure several others. Anyway, loved the video, appreciate the history, and thanks and all that. Cheers.
man i really want to see nic cage as superman, even now. after the flash had him battling that giant spider, make that into a full movie please. some of the original ideas they had in 98 sounded badass and some (the idiot producer had) sounded horrible, just take the best ideas of them and i'm sure that producer isn't around anymore, they can make that movie now, nic cage even named one of his sons Kal-El and had a million dollar comic book collection, he has always wanted to play superman as of now he has voiced superman in teen titans go movie (he was only in it for about a minute and his flash cameo which lasted for about a minute), give us the whole nic cage superman movie please it will be awesome for sure.
@@z5am769 the truth (by the numbers) is that haters are clearly outnumbered on this thread. I hope you two joy-killing twerps are stocked up on Tylenol.

I’d love an overview of the production of X-Men: Dark Phoenix since they reshot SO much of the film, I wonder what it would have been if they kept the original cut
Dark Phoenix was hard to watch it's that bad. It's hard to believe they actually made something that bad. Dark Phoenix is such a garbage movie it made X-Men Wolverine Origins look like a great movie.
@@ModeloLoveMeLongTime Yeah but at least they're really focusing on phoenix force even the interperation is bad,not like Xmen last stand where the dark phoenix just like a doll who not have emotions & the focusing is just for the mutant cured

You should've added at the end on how "he" eventually did make his cinematic debut as a cameo in The Flash.
This video was probably finished before that movie was released, considering this video appeared a mere 15 days after _The Flash_ premiered.

Welcome aboard!
In alternate universe this movie is probably a super hit like Batman trilogy 2005-2012 🤔🤔🤔
Most massage thing about this is how so many riders have absolutely zero knowledge of the source material
The Flash multiverse scene has Cage's Superman fighting a giant spider.
Sad I didn't get cage superman but happy that Kevin Smith didn't get to do it.
I absolutely burst out laughing when you said Chris Rock was cast as Jimmy Olsen. 😂
Redheads are outlawed in Hollywood
I could see that….that would have goofy and interesting…..
Thank GOD. This Nicholas Cage version was never happened!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
0:48 The suit looks like a fkn piece of art, wow.
Courtney Cox of the 90s is a great choice for Lois Lane
Perfect
you HAVE to watch Kevin Smith tell the story of him writing the script and then taking it to Peters house to read it to him! Peters demanded he have a different suit and NOT FLY?! ego maniac that killed the movie!!
Thanks for all of your videos. I leave them with more information than before .
Not going to lie I can't see nic cage being a good superman.
5:32 I just love how three of them are surprised at the same time
The best thing about the goofy flash movie that just came out was the Nick Cage fighting a giant spider as Superman cameo
Mars Attacks is one of my all time favorites!
Christopher Walken as Brainiac and Courtney Cox as Lois Lane… this movie is one of the biggest missed opportunities in all of cinema
Eh, I kind of prefer if they got the actors from the Lois and Clark series or Animated Series of Superman instead.
Cox is born to play Lois..her resemblance to Margot Kidder is also immaculate.
Why would you cast tv actors into a big Hollywood film? That's a recipe for disaster.

Wouldn't it be fantastic if we got Superman Lives as an animated film one day!
And the original cast as the voice actors!
I’ll be working on it someday. It’s probably the only Superman story that really interests me (besides John Byrne’s “Man of Steel”).
Superman Reanimated!

I actually thought Brandon Routh nailed the Clark Kent side of the character as well. The Returns script just didn’t give him a good enough Superman to get behind.
Yeah, he was just doing a Reeve imitation tho since returns was a sequel to those first two films
well said, Brandon Routh played superman role well but, sadly Henry Cavils was way to serious.
@@Moozy-FruitI think that’s because of snyders vision and not on Henry cavil himself
I really liked him too. I think he would have fit into the current universe better than Henry Cavill does.
@@Bulletsandblockbusters: Reeve did four Superman films, not two, and Routh’s Superman was a continuation story, not a sequel. There’s a difference.
at least they have the tribute on Nick Cage's Superman in the new Flash movie
Next would've probably been Tim Burton's Justice League.

The funniest thing is that the very first time Burton picture that was shown I thought it was Nicholas cage
I still think this would be an amazing movie to see made, even if it is an animated film. Call up Burton & Cage and get it rolling!
better idea, learn to let go.
@@plasticweapon even better idea: don't shit on other people for liking things.
@@MarcelLWalkerbetter idea the truth hurts
@@MarcelLWalker better still, pay attention to what people say and don't put words in their mouths, snowflake.
@@z5am769 the truth (by the numbers) is that haters are clearly outnumbered on this thread. I hope you two joy-killing twerps are stocked up on Tylenol.
Agree about Reeve being the only person to create doubt between Kent & Superman but Brendan Routh also did a great job
He mostly mimicked Reeve but it was solid. I still like that movie alot
At least we got a glimpse of Nick Cage's Superman in the latest flash movie fighting Peters' giant spider.
Imagine if it all worked out and we ended up with a Tim Burton Justice League movie with Keaton & Cage leading the team. Holy heck
Wesley Strick & Tim Burton's take on Superman was much better than Smith's and anything that has came since (until Gunn's movie anyway). In the comics, Superman didn't even know he was an alien until many years into his Superman career, long into his adulthood, and when he found out, it meant nothing to him beyond the explanation for his abilities. That's how Siegel & Shuster did it. Being an alien is just the excuse for the powers, nothing else. Everything else comes from being Clark Kent, it is Clark Kent that creates not just the Superman persona, costume, S symbol, and morality, but he also creates the mild mannered reporter disguise. Clark with superpowers is the real guy and he creates both the Superman persona & mild mannered reporter disguise. Strick got this absolutely right.
I’d love an overview of the production of X-Men: Dark Phoenix since they reshot SO much of the film, I wonder what it would have been if they kept the original cut
I’ll look into it
Dark Phoenix was hard to watch it's that bad. It's hard to believe they actually made something that bad.
Dark Phoenix is such a garbage movie it made X-Men Wolverine Origins look like a great movie.
@@Bulletsandblockbusters In my head I heard Christian Bales Batman voice at the end of begins.
@@ModeloLoveMeLongTimeI agree I walked out of that film regretting I ever took my kid to see it
@@ModeloLoveMeLongTime Yeah but at least they're really focusing on phoenix force even the interperation is bad,not like Xmen last stand where the dark phoenix just like a doll who not have emotions & the focusing is just for the mutant cured
