Jeffrey K. Lyles' Movie Files

So we’re in agreement that “Man of Steel” rocked and was just about perfect, yes?

Great. I’m already plotting to see it again with my Dad on Father’s Day — yes, he’s that cool — but like most of us, I’m not satisfied and my mind is churning ideas for sequels.

Will they call it “Man of Steel 2?” or start going the X-Men route and be more descriptive like “X-Men: Days of Future Past?”
