Novel REBOOT Concept
Peter Parker didn't turn into Spider-man until he got bitten by a radioactive spider.
Why couldn't Superman be the same?
The only thing in the world just as fast as Superman is lightning.
Basically, in the reboot, Superman has been storing up energy from the sun into his body like someone keep depositing coins into his piggy bank. An accident happens in his teens, he was struck by lightning, which then activated his powers a la Peter Parker-style. Lightning is the catalyst, not the source of his powers.
BUT this Superman is NOT like past Superman's. Every time he uses his powers, his body is shrouded in lightning. It adds a little bit of visual pizzazz to his appearance on the silver screen...
Also, once he uses his powers, which comes from sun energy stored in his body, it begins to deplete. So, this type of Superman is not only vulnerable to kryptonite, but also energy depletion. He becomes a mortal after used up all his energy. It takes some time to recharge back up...
Different Types of Supermen
Lightning isn't the only thing that can activate a Kryptonian's powers. There are Krytonians that were activated by other elements other than lightning.
Superman Cracks the Funniest Joke in the World
Fighting bad guys is such a piece of cake for lightning Superman, he even has time to take a superspeed bath/shower right on before he fights the bad guys boss!
Why I Stopped Watching Hollywood Movies
The last Hollywood movie in the theater I'd seen was Avatar 1. The other movie I liked was Disney's Tron 2.0 live action movie. If you look at the end credits, the visual SFX of Tron 2.0 was worked on solely by Chinese and Japanese CGI artists. This kind of collaborate actually brings out the best in both worlds. Tron 2.0 was the only Hollywood movie that WOWed me in terms of effects.
The only thing that can make me go back to Hollywood movies is another collaboration between East and West like in Tron 2.0. I don't care if the movie stars a White person, just let some Chinese dudes work on the action sequences, the visual SFX and also the action sequence part of the script.
This short segment (starting from 1:16:27) from a made-for-TV movie captures more of the heart/essence/spirit of Superman than any actual Hollywood Superman movie I'd seen to date...!
(Click here to watch the segment that starts at 1:16:27-- do watch it with speakers on, the soundtrack accentuates the segment even more!)
If Hollywood and China got together and made a Superman movie starring some Westerner/Non-Asian person, I would be the first in line to purchase a ticket upon theatrical release... Becoz I know the movie will kick more arse than if Hollywood made the movie on their own!
