DC seems to be turning its back on some long-standing tenets, such as Kal-El being the sole survivor of Krypton, and the whole Jason Todd thing, so who knows how it could go?
River: The human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds given adequate vacuuming systems. Mal: See, morbid and creepifying, I got no problem with, long as she does it quiet-like.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'll forever be upset that a movie wasn't made of this while Sigourney Weaver was the right age.
Oooh. Interesting casting, Frank. But I think there will be some actress to come along after a while who could play Christine Spar. As it is, I have a hard time imagining a Christine Spar Grendel movie without a Hunter Rose Grendel movie to set it up.
I think an Eppy Thatcher Grendel movie, while enjoyable to me, would be just too frelling messed up for general consumption.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Depends on how long-standing you mean. In the old days there were Supergirl, and Dev-Em, and the whole bottle city of Kandor.

Not to mention a veritable ark of silly-ass super-animals.

Only two were actually from Krypton, though.

I think after the first one, it's hard to care where they come from.

Post-Crisis. 20 years is long-standing.

As it is, I have a hard time imagining a Christine Spar Grendel movie without a Hunter Rose Grendel movie to set it up.
I'd have done it as some sort of prologue - either news report montage, or a mini-movie of some kind. Wouldn't do it total justice, but I just loved the Christine Spar story so much that's the movie I wanted.

That could have worked. There's only just enough Hunter Rose (from the Devil by the Deed story, anyway) to make a tight, short movie. Shorten it even more to a prologue, and it does work to set it up.
Though even if it was done as two movies, I think Tojiro is going to seem like he came out of nowhere. Argent's going to be weird enough for people as it is.
