Kevin Smith, a giant spider and a Superman


 Kevin Smith, a giant spider and a Superman
Everything about the failed Superman Lives has always interested me. The amount of money wasted on the project is huge and never saw the light of day, which is surprising given the franchise of Superman. It was all thrown away after script after script.
This is an added bonus and payoff.
MC posted that famous story about Superman Lives. It was the story about John Peters. It was a story about getting screwed over by Tim Burton and the strange encounters with the producer John Peters. You can check out the link MC posted in my comment section here. Because it is important to listen to Smith's story because it is paid off in the video below.
Years after telling that story. WB made the movie Superman: Doomsday. In that movie, Superman fights a giant spider being controlled by Toyman. In the crowd, a person looking like Kevin Smith grumbles about a giant spider. The kicker is Kevin Smith voiced the grumpy animated Kevin Smith. 



Bonus, here is the Superman Lives suit in action.
