Lately, I have been quite perplexed by the worlds of both Star Trek and DC. I have said many times before that I grew up in more of a Star Wars Marvel shrine, but the dimensions of DC and Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek are also very vivid and imaginative places that are pleasing to the eyes. Batman is hands down my favorite hero of the DC universe, for his backstory and character development is the best of any superhero to date, and Spock, although a favorite to many, stands out to me the most from other Star Trek characters like Kirk and Picard. So let's take what makes both DC and Star Trek great and throw them into a blender....AND TURN IT ON!!! Enter Star Trek: Quest For Krypton, originally entitled, The Star Trek Superman Crossover. It's a film that I have been working on for quite some time now, and to be fairly honest, it't far from finished. There are several scenes in need of reshoots, several scenes that need a bit of editing, and some of the sound quality in a majority of the film is a bit off. However, I have some very, shall we say, "AWESOME-RIFIC" things in store for all the film's viewers, and I will try to deliver some very "out of the box" ideas and concepts that will make DC purists and die hard Trekkies jump with glee. I mean, come on, it's a STAR TREK SUPERMAN CROSSOVER!!!! You can't go wrong with that!
Some of the original test scenes that I made earlier in the year are viewable on my Youtube channel, Warp 8 Productions, more commonly known as Yoda2245. The original plot of the film is that Superman teams up with the crew of the USS Enterprise to stop the klingons from building a massive space vessel, the Vrimitrix, which they will use to eliminate Federation territories (it's somewhat of the Death Star for the Star Trek universe). However, I have altered the plot quite a bit, and the film is now significantly different from that of the original cuts. As a matter of fact, some of the events of the DC universe are nicely spliced together with the events of the Star Trek universe, making the two seem like one whole universe, although this is a non canon film when it comes to mainstream DC and Star Trek continuity. The relationships of each character will also be worked on quite a bit throughout the film. Kirk and Spock's relationship will be the cream of the crop in this film, as will the strained relationship between Spock and Mccoy (YOU POINTY EARRED BASTARD!), but I mainly want to focus on the relationship between Superman and the crew of the Enterprise, particularly Superman's relationship with Kirk. The two are very prominent symbols in pop culture and have two completely different personalities and trademarks. When Superman uses his laser vision to wipe out enemies, Kirk uses his trusty phaser set for stun, so I think it will be quite interesting and humorous to see how the two duke it out in this film, a film that I intend to be my biggest film production yet.
Whatever lies in store for this awesome clash of two great franchises, I guarantee you that it will be...FASCINATING, in the words of Mr. Spock himself. When I was a kid, I would combine the action figures of two different franchises all the time and play with them in the most unique ways possible, having battles between Spider-Man and the Power Rangers and even putting the Rugrats up against Tarzan, King of the Apes. So as you can tell, combining something like Star Trek and Superman, the Last Son of Krypton isn't any indifferent to me, for I probably envisioned something like that in my complex mind way back in the early days of my toddler years.
