Wait until you hear Peters' suggestions on who Brainiac fights...

I don't have a fast enough connection, but if I'm not mistaken that is a scene from An Evening with Kevin Smith where he talks about his Superman Lives script in which the same nutcase who produced Wild Wild West (yes, the one godforsaken Will Smith movie) met with him and asked him to do a script where Superman didn't fly, didn't have the suit, and didn't go by his other names (Kal-El, Man of Steel, Last Son of Kryton, etc.) and freaked out about it.

He also wanted Kevin to write in a huge spider in the flick... Fortunately, this douchebag is no longer attached to the film. Thank God WB wised up and decided this guy was an idiot and fired his dumb ass!

In reference to the movie, if you have not scene this in its entirety, I suggest looking online for the movie (An Evening With Kevin Smith) as it is one of the f*ckin funniest Q&A's I've ever seen. I also had a chance to see a live viewing of one of these in Indianapolis just a little over a month ago. Again, it was one of the funniest things I have ever seen live. His sequel Q&A is due out on DVD in line with the theatrical release of Clerks 2.

Thats' where the footage was from definatly, I had known about the backstory of Superman Lives (though nothing can compete with the infamous Abrams script with a non exploding Krypton and a gay Jimmy Olsen) including the fact Burton would've made it worse (NEVER give Burton the ball completly on a superhero movie, look at Batman Returns, and to an extent, what he did with Batmans' origins in the first movie. Joker kills his parents? UGH.)

Okay, this is pure genius. I'd really want to see that movie where Brainiac fights Polar Bears at the Fortress of Solitude with his sidekick.

I'd love it.

Burton only directed the first Batman, he didn't have any say so on the origin of Jack Napier no Bruce Wayne. That being said, I think that 89 Batman was the second best Batman movie made (only Begins I think can surpass it.).

Oh...my...God.... I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life. Brainiac with a effiminate black robot sidekick. Superman's sanctuary protected by polar bears. Giant freakin' spiders...BOX OFFICE GOLD!!

....Burton directed BOTH Batman and Batman Returns and ADMITTED ON THE COMMENTARY he was behind Jacks' identity.
