SUPERGIRL MOVIE?

Mischa Barton is reportedly being considered to play the Girl of Steel if Superman Returns is a hit.

"If Superman Returns does as well as expected this summer then Supergirl will be pushed into the schedule," reveals one movie insider. "There are a few actresses in the reckoning and Mischa is at the top of that list."

Who the fuck is Mischa Barton, you ask? I guess she's on the show "The OC". Wonderful. sigh.

I suppose Krypto: The Movie is next.
Hey, remember the last Supergirl movie?! Oh man!

This post has taught me 2 things:
1)Hollywood Execs are Morons.
2)If you type "Supergirl" into Google Images, you immediately get lots of porn fetish pics.

Here's my hypothesis on Hollywood: They want more young people to get into comics. That's why they're casting all these young actors, many of whom star in teen dramas. They are picking these young actors already popular with teens and "tweens" and then casting them as comic book characters so that today's young people start buying comics too. (that's my hope anyway - their motives are probably far more selfish)

Yeah, i don't think the Hollywood Execs give a crap about comics or comic sales. It's all about profit for themselves, hence all the crap that is put out - quality usually means spending some more money; writing, etc.

ok,..seriously,..When as a child,..teen,..or "tween" have you ever said, "I like this superhero, because he's/she's been on my favorite TV show,..and he/she is closer to my age." You didn't. people like SuperHeroes bc they exude an inner quality, or moarlity that we as individuales aither relate to or aspire to. I was in the 4th grade when I started reading Spider-Man, by that time, he was in grad-school. His age had nothing to do with why I loved him as a Hero.

you mean to tell me you didn't like Superboy and Robin better than Superman and Batman? Liar!!

Kidding.
:)

Personally, I cannot like a character unless I can identify with them 110%. I guess that's why I like Boba Fett so much.

No! Not another one! The first one was very very very bad. Why are they trying to resurrect it?

Mischa Barton, oh damn. So guess this movie would be about Supergirl being too busy "talking about her issues" rather than saving the planet-ish. Great.

Batwoman is indeed a lesbian... I saw her at a popular cocktail lounge for lesbian types here in NYC...The Cubby Hole.

She was arguing with a large woman wearing flannel and sporting a mullet. Something about cancelling u-haul reservations and being too hasty in picking a sperm donor...

Seriously, I jest. I personally find nothing wrong with a comic book character being gay. Wouldn't you guys rather watch her get all hot and heavy with Catwoman rather than some boring sub-plot where she gets taken out on a date with a district attorney or something?

They're selling to the "Cool! Lesbian Action!" demographic. Some of whom I hazard to guess are Jim Smash readers.

Now I'll end this comment with something truly upsetting...
Nightwing is GAY!....and my boyfriend. He loves me! He really does!!! (gutteral sobs)
