I was born in the year 20XX and sent back into the past via space capsule to prevent Judgement Day. I think they sent me back too early, because nothing is really happening yet. So, until I get the call, I'm usually just sitting around, readin' comics, playin' videogames, and drawrin' pictures.
LIFE GOAL:
- To get the power-up and save the princess. Will settle for steady job with decent healthcare plan.
Ever since it began development, comic nerds have been curious about TIm Burton's Superman Lives project. Burton, having come off of making two successful Batman films, was instructed to reintroduce Superman to the modern populous in grand fashion. The entire production was shrouded in a cloak of secrecy, and it wasn't until years later when Kevin Smith, who had been contracted to write the film, performed "And Evening With Kevin Smith" that we got a small glimpse into the insanity that brought the film down before it ever really begin. Said insanity involved polar bears and a giant spider, as a means of reference. And that was it, as far as information went.
Until now.
I present, Nicolas Cage in the Superman costume. Also known as the best/worst thing ever.
Fake? Maybe. But dear lord, I truly hope not. The thought of Cage walking around in that suit, looking like a life-sized action figure is a pretty strong candidate for my new favorite.
You're all very welcome. Eyebleach is to the left.
Plastic-molded Superman costume, is what I meant to say. Or wearing the fictional comic book character himself. Neither would seem out of place for the good Dr. Cage.
Please, God, let that last image be a Photoshop of his head on a GI Joe figure or something. If that actually occurred during the course of human history, well...we're all doomed.
I'm retarded, as I just posted this exact thing for about three minutes before hiding it forever. Thank you Sadistic, for pointing this out to me. Bad ace! Bad!
I remember hearing of this project years ago... I dig Burton, but thank gawd this project never saw the light.
Although, prior to this, Burton wanted to direct a Catwoman feature starring Michelle Pfeiffer. Michael Keaton even agreed to cameo, as long as it was a Burton production. Imagine what could have been... Got damn you Warner Bros., Halle Berry and Pitof.
Oh, well. Nolan made us all forget. =)

Oh, make no mistake. Southern Nic Cage with vampire hair wearing a plastic-molded Superman would certainly be worth watching.
I mean, the drinking games that would inevitably spawn from the film alone.
Also, I like how the first image/concept art shown (probably a sketch by TB himself) looks like Edward Scissorhands in a Superman suit.
