But what's so wacky about fighting a giant mechanical spider? I know about the Peters/Smith story but still, what's so bad about the spider idea? Supes has fought practically everything in his 70 year career: goblins, cowboys, blah blah blah... so why is a giant freaking spider way too out there?
I don't think the spider by itself was ever a big deal. It's the fact that Peters made the spider into an absolute requirement for a Superman movie that people find ridiculous.
@young5ever It's not the spider itself as much as it was the producer being so hellbent on throwing in a giant spider for Supes to fight. "THEY'RE THE MOST FEROCIOUS KILLER IN THE INSECT KINGDOM."
Kevin was approached to write Superman Reborn for Warner Bros. Jon Peters was the producer and he wanted Superman to fit a spider. Kevin thought the idea was crazy, but he had to include it.
If you do a search for Kevin Smith and Superman, you'll find a peice where he talks about his attempt to make a Superman Movie. In it he discusses pitching his ideas to producer Jon Peters who wanted, amoungst other things, to see Supes go one-on-one against a giant spider. Have a look for it, it's dead funny!
I thought the guy who posted it was talking about Toyman (who is voiced by John Dimaggio), it's only when I saw the guy at the end I realised it was Kevin Smith.
I had totally forgotten Kevin was in this, so caught me by surprise when his giant spider remark come up. Had to rewind to hear it a secind time during the first viewing.
Toyman should have had a gay R2-D2 as a sidekick
