They are rebooting the franchise. This time they are going darker and exploring other Superman's foes.

Branianc & Darkseid would be great.

Naysay you are dead wrong.

That movie does not need to be remade, it needs to be redacted from the collective memories of all who witnessed the absolute horror of it.

It is... by far... one of the lamest films I have ever seen.

And Superman is geigh. No amount of "darkening" is gonna make him cool. His "aw shucks" uber good guy routine does not play to a contemporary audience.

Or did you mean they're going to re-re-boot it as if Superman Returns never happened... because that would be AWESOME.

Well I agree that the movie is awful in all ways...

but I disagree with your take on Superman.

There are plenty of people who have done fantastic work with the character despite that tired complaint.

The characters qualities mean that the creative team handling it have to work harder than say... the Punisher or Wolverine or any of the other "grrr I'm so angry and dark and tortured" characters.

Cynicism is a crutch. Heroes should represent qualities that we aspire too...

Seriously! Superman sucks. First of all his costume is lame, secondly he's immortal and doesn't feel pain so when he fights humans he has a massively unfair advantage. It would be like me fighting a two year old only no one would call me a hero.

Who said anything about "cool"?


And since when did stories about characters with god like powers go out of style? They've been around as long as civilization... if not longer.

Stop worrying so much about what's "cool"... like I said... there's been plenty of great work done with the character.

It sounds like a re-reboot.

Quote:
Warner Bros. also put on hold plans for another movie starring multiple superheroes -- known as "Batman vs. Superman" -- after the $215 million "Superman Returns," which had disappointing box-office returns, didn't please executives. "'Superman' didn't quite work as a film in the way that we wanted it to," says Mr. Robinov. "It didn't position the character the way he needed to be positioned." "Had 'Superman' worked in 2006, we would have had a movie for Christmas of this year or 2009," he adds. "But now the plan is just to reintroduce Superman without regard to a Batman and Superman movie at all."
