DCU Superman: The Screenplay CRT

[Dinobot1996]

The Superman screenplay, as written by James Gunn (and shared online by him), has a few new bits of information:

Kaiju:

The Kaiju's flames are described twice as "irradiated", so it should have Radiation Manipulation:

Superman does not get any new resistances for this, as he already has Radiation resistance on his profile.

Hawkgirl:

Hawkgirl is now confirmed to be in her 20s, so the Unknown part of her age should be removed:

Bonus: In an interview, Isabela Merced stated that the reason behind DCU Hawkgirl's grumpy demeanor is meant to be that she reincarnates and has all the memories (traumas and mistakes included) of her past lives. This should grant Immortality (Type 4).

Infinite Pocket Universe?:

The script describes Luthor's pocket universe as having "endless" cosmic skies:

Shortly afterwards, the River Pi (name for the antimatter river previously used by VFX team) is also described as infinite:

If this is enough evidence to support the idea of the pocket universe being infinite in size, I think this would upgrade Lex Luthor's preparation to High 3-A.


The Less Important Stuff:

Besides what is in the above sections, most other stuff in the script would only provide supporting statements to stats and abilities that are already accepted on the profiles, and would not add anything new. Due to lack of importance, I won't post pictures of these statements, but I will provide document page numbers for anyone who is curious enough to look for them:

• The Kaiju exerts thousands of tons of pressure when it tries to crush Superman underfoot (document page 40)
• Green Lantern is once again stated to create his constructs out of solid light (can be seen in the picture in the Hawkgirl section above)
• Mr. Terrific would've been bitten in half by the Kaiju if he didn't evade it (document page 43)
• Heat vision is described as a laser multiple times (document pages 89, 122 and 125)

I agree

Something I found interesting is that the River Pi is referred to as dangerous numbers/integers three times. Once in one of the scans in the OP, once on page 87, and once on page 88

This is probably in reference to the negative characteristics of antimatter, but is it potentially some form of Mathematics Manipulation?

 

[LordTracer]

Looks good to me. While Superman already has Resistance to Radition Manipulation, him withstanding the kaiju’s flames can still be added as additional justification.

 

[Youngwolf-0.1]

Yea, i agree with this

 

[Antvasima]

This seems fine to me.

If it is, I don't know enough about that to be certain if that would give Superman a new resistance.

 

[Dalesean027]

This seems good to me

 

[Tonygameman]

Looks all good to me.

 

[Eseseso]

All the stuff with scans looks fine to me, though if I'm not mistaken Lex's universe being High 3-A would make his intelligence Supergenius per our guidelines since he's the one who created it

 

[Tonygameman]

Bump.

 

[Dinobot1996]

Bump

 

[ByArrow]

Bump

This has enough staff vote, go ahead and applied this

 

[Dalesean027]

Yeah this is good to apply

 

[Dinobot1996]

Alright, does the pocket universe being High 3-A mean that Luthor's intelligence get a bump to Supergenius as was brought up a few posts up? (Presumably such an intelligence upgrade would also have to be applied to Mister Terrific, considering the statement that they are intellectual equals)

 

[Dalesean027]

I'm told by other staff that does meet the requirements for supergenius so yeah

 

[Dinobot1996]

Okay, all the important scans and the additions they justify have now been added to the impacted profiles.

Wait a little. Just reaching an infinite scale of power with a single invention is not remotely sufficient to qualify for Supergenius intelligence on its own. Very extreme reality-warping versatility is necessary as well, and that has not been demonstrated yet in this verse, so Luthor and Terriffic should only be listed with Extraordinary Genius intelligence as of yet.

I asked about this before as my previous post said and it was agreed by Twlight, Bambu, and FinePoint that this should qualify as Supergenius


To quote finepoint

A High 3-A scale is the bare minimum to even be considered.

If the only thing they've ever done of note is creating a universe, it's probably not enough.

If they also regularly warp reality seemingly however they want, then it might be.

Specifically: "there should be an enormous amount of versatility combined with an infinite scale of power and preferably range." and "in order to qualify, characters genuinely have to invent things on their own, not mostly rely on already extremely futuristic settings.".

A common case of universe creation being rejected would be if they mostly just used parts from a society which was already capable of that kind of thing or close.

That is to say, a Supergenius should be infinitely above the technology already available to them before their own inventions as well, not just High 3-A+ in a vacuum.

So considering Luthors tech is definitely in this case infinitely above the tech present here in this universe normally already and he does create an infinite universe it should be fine

But I have watched that Superman movie, and he did not nearly display anywhere near the reality-warping versatility that is required, and he also barely reached the bare minimum in terms of scale. I wrote our intelligence page, and as far as I am aware, this is just matter of fact extremely exaggerated and inaccurate.
