Reportedly, Warner Bros. wants to "reboot" the Superman franchise. They're apparently unhappy with the reception Superman Returns received when it came out a couple summers ago.

Lets face it, making Superman interesting has been hard enough for DC to do in the comics let alone a writer to do in a movie.   I know we all loved Christopher Reeves but  Superman 2 was the only great movie.  Why was that?  Cause it had more meaningfull action then in any of the other films and in the end Superman didn't act like Superman.  They made Superman take a lot of pleasure in hurting Zod at the end of the movie something Superman wouldn't do. 

The
best part of all the Superman movies was in 3 when Superman fought with himself. cause it was the physical representation of how most normal ppl would act if they had those kinds of powers.  Mind your the reast of that movie sucked, and that one seen saved the movie



Superman as a character is unrepeatable to the average person.  On the other hand Batman is a character ppl can relate to.   People watch Superman and say "DUDE JUST PUNCH LEX IN THE FACE"  but Superman will never do that cause his morals wont let him. 

So here is my question to you guys.  Would you want to see yet another new superman movie where they tell the story from the beginning or would you like them to make a movie about some other DC character?  If you want a new character which one?   I think Green Lantern might be interesting.

They got the wrong actor and the wrong director for the movie, that's why.
I wouldn't mind if they tried again, but they really need to get a director who knows what he's doing.

It's pretty much Singer's fault for trying to make a direct sequel to Donner's Superman series. And he's just had the bad luck of having terrible movie writers. They should just scrap whatever script they're "writing" and just make a Superman movie, toss Doomsday in there, and have them fight the whole movie.

Maybe next time they will finally get a good looking Lois Lane.  LOL

Superman is probably the one big name superhero that's even more boring than Batman. I hope this fails and fails hard.

I've never really understood the appeal of Superman. I guess if the movie is good than that's great but I doubt I'll care.

It could work. It probably won't, but I'd like to see them try.

I too enjoyed Superman Returns, but I agree with the reboot.  Returns shouldn't have been a sequel to Superman II and should have started a new story, like the current Batman movies.  If done correctly a Superman movie could be amazing, something that changes a lot of people's opinion on him.  And what's with all the Superman hate?

Don't know if you guys are old enough to remember the Flash tv series but that was a good series and the Flash sute looked good for back then.
