Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, I'm a little confused. Do you mean he would have only been Clark Kent, and not in the Superman outfit at all? In a movie with the name "Superman" in the title?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I'm assuming Matt's making a joke about how all the hype for the movie we've seen so far has been about Batfleck and the 500 other superheroes that may or may not be in the movie.

Yeah. I know everyone else seems to be a big Batman fan, but I've always preferred Superman. It rankles that from the publicity he's being treated as an afterthought in his own sequel.

Well, Cahill is the known quantity--it's hardly surprising he's not news.
Momoa, OTOH, that's breaking.

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

That sounds...well, if it's legit, like a bad idea, and one that came from someone who didn't see the grim'n'gritty Batman movies, which also had laughs in them.
I can see them separating themselves tonally from the yuckfest that is Marvel, but that doesn't mean they need to go all nuBSG.
(I like how WW looks, BTW. I'd not seen it until now).

Rented Locke: underwhelmed. Not by Tom Hardy, but the script. It felt unfinished, and also that the Big Secret was so mundane. I got the characters motivation for the impetus of the plot, but with all of the allusions to the main characters background and motivation, and the metaphor of solid foundations, I felt that much was left out (but I guess if they'd continued, the metaphor would have ended up trite or irrelevant).
Also, not a big fan of characters who don't declare the secret they keep until the last second, which says to me that they never would have spilled the beans, and leaves me little room for sympathy. (not that this strictly applies here, as the secret could have been kept if not for the main characters own issues with said secret), which gives it more credence).
I like the foundations premise of it, though.

Oh! GotG question: does this mean Groot is unkillable? (I don't know if that's big enough to still need to be whitefonted per the header.)
Like, Wolverine and Groot. That's kind of awesome, if true. (That one was whitefonted because the comparison might give away the nature of the first whitefont.)

I don't think so, Steph. I mean, as long as they can save a cutting he can be regrown, but if he were, say, burnt to ashes, he would be gone.
But then again, Wolverine is about to die in the comics. So.
