Dave, are you sure it's the same Barry? Playing devil's advocate just in case...
Barry, Dave is one of the most helpful writers on this site and he knows his stuff. He's also once of the nicest blokes you'll ever meet - at the very least virtually and I'm sure IRL the experience is even better. You'd do well to heed his advice.
And finally, an FYI we give to all newbs:: Simply Scripts is a quid-pro-quo site. Simply put that means you get what you give. Read other scripts by other writers on this site, and you'll get read in return. Get to know the regulars and you'll learn a lot.
P.S. Is this your debut feature? Your script is 154 pages?!
I had a read. As you’ve mentioned you want to know it’s chances of getting on the silver screen. There’s one massive blocker to this happening. As has been mentioned - you’ve used lots of owned IP/ characters. And who knows - if the material was amazing maybe different studios could collaborate. But not if you totally butt-fuck their characters. You have superman accidentally killing a cat, then some children, and constantly saying fuck and shit.
There’s 30 pages of super man fucking up. And not reacting like superman would. He’s like a Seth Rogan superman. Studios will never go for anything that might destroy their highly lucrative characters for good.
My advice - if you want to pursue this concept - make up new superheroes and create something of your own.
