Hm. I just read a big chunk of it, and I'm not even sure I can even believe all of that. It's just insane to thing adults would come up with that crap. There's so much mindless garbage.
Well, I've read more than a few reviews for some of the hardcore-idiocy-filled scripts so, I'll take it that they're real.
For people who don't want to read the link in its entiriety, here's a list of truly stupid things that appeared in Superman scripts over the years:
1.
Polar Bears guarding the Fortress of Solitude (So they could make action figures of them. Who'd want to buy an action figure of a polar bear?)
2. Jimmy Olsen being gay.
3. Luthor and Brainiac merging, to become 'Lexiac' (and yes, I did think it was cool on JLU, but the way they were going to do it in this film wouldn't have been).
4. Superman's costume being a living creature that lived in a can.
5. Superman losing his powers and using a 'Supermobile' to get around.
6. Superman teleporting instead of flying.
7. Brainiac being assisted by a small, gay robot called L-Ron.
(The following entries are the silliest, stupidest thing to ever appear in a Superman script and I laughed quite loudly when I read them)
8. Superman impregnating Lois by sheer force of will at his deathbed. Within two weeks, Lois gives birth and dies. Within another short space of time, the baby grows up to be the second Superman and promptly saves the day.
9. LEX LUTHOR IS A DISGRUNTLED SHOE SALESMAN WHO IS POSSESSED BY THE DEVIL THAT MAKES HIM SMART AND EVIL.
