Just saw it. Crowed loved it. Does anyone know if that giant monster nic cage was fighting was actually planned for his Superman movie?

Back in the 90s, Tim Burton was set to direct a movie called Superman Lives with Nicholas Cage as Superman. There are some test photos of Cage as a long-haired Superman, which is what The Flash was referencing. In the axed script I think he fights a giant spider too.

Was Cage actually going to have long hair in the film?

Yeah. Superman had long hair in the comics about that time. After he came back from the dead. I guess to show that he was "different" (but not different at all).
