Tarentino v.s. Kevin Smith?

[pjalne]

I'm not Smith's biggest fan, but his story about Jon Peters is comedy gold. This is what I can remember from Peters's requests fom memory:

- Sean Penn as Superman (because he has 'killer instinct')
- Superman should fight two polar bears ("the most vicious killers in the animal kingdom") and kill one of them, but let the other one live (so the animal activists don't get pissed off)
- Brainiac should break into the Fortress of Solitude and get into a fight with Superman's guards.
- Big spider in the third act ("the most vicious killers in the insect kingdom" (I know they're not insects, Peters's words))

Further requests made by Jon Peters when Burton came on board:

- Superman should wear a leather coat (yeah, Matrix came out)
- Superman should not fly, but instead drive a cool car
- Brainiac should have a gay robot friend

After Burton was taken off the project:

- Jimmy Olsen should be gay
