Superman will fight an evil doppelganger?


An evil Superman clone created by Lex Luthor like Bizarro, Nuclear Man or the Superman clone from Superman Doomsday 2007 animated film.

Been done already. Superman 3.

And Nuclear Man in Superman 4 but in better quality.

Sort of agree. I didn't really like either "Superman 3" or Superman 4". I felt sorry for Chris. He still gave it his all as well as he could with the script that he was handed.
But, the producers chose to take shortcuts, instead of trying to equal the quality of the first two movies.

Gunn must figure thats one of the main things ppl love about the original films was superman fighting a bizarro version of himself so why not base the whole movie around that

reply

Gunn is secretive about the movie, he has debunked Ultraman as the main villain but not the idea of an evil clone.

It's possible it's based off Superman Birthright where Lex manipulates people into thinking Superman is a villain and gets heroes to fight him.

It might be possible that Lex is creating his own hero as The Engineer.

Hmm, I'd rather see a different threat like Brainiac or Metallo.
