Tomorrow Elephant

I really didn’t think that much of Superman Returns. I mean, is a camp bald guy with a couple of goons and a ditzy girlfriend really a proper arch-nemesis for a guy who can lift continents? (The bald guy’s comic-book incarnation is, of course, but that’s another story.)

Anyway, one of the more entertaining elements of Superman Returns is its incredibly convoluted production history. At one point, Kevin Smith developed a draft script for Warner Brothers. I remember reading it a while back and wondering why the hell Brainiac had a gay robot sidekick. Well, Kevin Smith explains why and more in an excellent interview floating around on YouTube. One of the funniest “behind the scenes” stories I’ve ever heard. (via Geek Savant).
