Rebooted Superman 6 May Still Star Brandon Routh

This is kind of old news at this point, I'd seen it elsewhere last week, I've also read stories that Spacey may be back as Lex. These two returning I can live with, though logically a reboot should require and entirely new cast, it just makes more sense that way. More of a fresh start. I hope, however, they do not bring back Kate Bosworth I really found her to be a spineless and bland Lois. Her character needs recasting badly. As for Routh, I liked him. Same for Jimmy. I liked Spacey as Lex, but I want the character of Lex to be rebooted, more the Lex of the comics and none of the Lex of the Donner movies.

Good riddance to SuperBrat!!!

I liked Routh as CK, but I didnt like the Lex, Spacey wasn't bad it was just the writing for that Lex. Did Abrams for sure write this script?

I'm sorry this is such a crock guys. Here is MY theory: So much money has been SUNK into the many FAILED Superman Projects between 4-Returns (including a hefty pay or play for Nick Cage) that freaking Warner Bros is trying to weasel out of a proper reboot by retaining the cast, thereby not buying out their contracts. This is really a bad idea, because people who are not akin to the "reboot craze" started by Batman Begins, and continued with James Bond, and Hulk, are going to be scratching their heads wandering where Superman's illegitimate son is, and why the events in Returns are non-canon. I mean, even though "Returns" was a sequel, it still took certain liberties with continuity! For starters it IGNORED episodes 3&4 and made subtle changes with the story, for instance, Lois was given amnesia by Clark's Super Kiss at the end of Episode II which should have made her forget about her Super Hay Romp with Big Blue!! Yet she remembered that Super Lovin!! Then The fact that Supes apologizes to the President for not arriving sooner to stop the Kryptonians, and promising to never repeat that mistake, but then he ends up leaving Earth for FIVE FREAKING YEARS!!

At the very least, if they keep Routh, they need to give him a few pointers this go around. For starters, they need to do something about the spit-curl, it just doesn't work...it has not worked in 50 years. Plus, do a real update on the costume. They made a lotta changes with Batman's costume, so I believe they could at least lose the outside undees! And finally, tell the kid to STOP trying to mimick Reeves. He was brilliant and he owned the original Superman movies, but now, Routhe has to make these his own. Oh and they definately have to stop using computers to color the guy's eyes, it looks worse then when those beautiful Latin girls where those dark blue contacts and it throws their whole look off! Oh and one more thing...since they grounded all the concepts of the Nolan Batmanverse into reality or trashed what they could not use from the comics, they need to do the same with Supes and his secret Identity. Case in point, in every other kind of Batman continuity, Batman has an infinite number of vehicles and seems to require assistance from no one aside from little things that Alfred takes care of here and there. But in "The Dark Knight" in order to get to Lau in Hong Kong, Bruce has to rely on Lucius, Alfred, some random "Sky Hook" salesman out west, and Korean Smugglers to catch the baddie. In any other storytelling, he woulda just jetted over on a Batplane and taken Lau with ease, but in this universe, he had to actually work for it. It was BRILLIANT! So what I really want from whoever takes over this FURBAR franchise, is to tweak the method for which Clark maintains his secret identity.

Oh yeah, someone wanted to know why the commencement of the new Supes movie would be contingent upon Nolan signing on for another Batman...I think of two reasons: First they may try to lure him on as a consultant, and second, so that they'll be sure to have a cash cow handy in case the new Big Blue tanks!! Gimme feedback peeps!!

BOOOOOOO to Routh that guy sucks Tom Welling should be the new Superman and a recast for Lois I do like Ericka Durance but a the whole Smallville cast might be abit much and hard to buy as a new movie.

The only thing wrong with Superman Returns was the script. Bad idea to give him a kid. Routh is a really good Superman. And Fraiser doing Superman just doesn't seem right.

I like the idea of having Tom Welling in on the reboot. I hated the illegimate child take on the last movie. They should try rebooting altogether. Like they did in Batman begins. They explained alot of things. Why is it that an accounting nerd from Wayne enterprise can figure out how batman is but the woman that was F*&King superman can't figure out that him and clark kent are one in the same. I've always hated how DC makes their universe into a bunch of idiots. Its like watching that movie "Idiotcracy".
Hey Clark how are you doing. (Clarks glasses come off) SUPERMAN!! What are you doing in Clarks clothes.

You have to admit it is pretty silly. I mean at least spider-man has his entire body covered. I would joke with my friends about the last movie. Sayin, I would loved it if Lois the woman that beared Superman's child who can't figure out that Clark is Superman,would be in a hurry and accidently would go into the mens room instead of the womans and Clark would be at the urinal. She would see his manhood and suddenly yell "SUPERMAN!!"

Hi guys. If they do indeed reboot Superman I hope they finally get the "S" of his costume right. Brandon Routh did a good job playing Superman but it was abvious that he was trying too hard to mimic Christopher Reeve's take on the character (I still think Chris Reeve is the Best Superman). Also, some of the lines used in "Returns" were copied form the first movie (....flying is still the safest means of travel... clark? your boyfirend?---no, just some guy i work with.... what did my father say to me before he died?--Get Out!....etc) I have to agree with the idea of letting Tom Welling play the lead role. In a way, when Chris Reeve appeared in the "Rosseta" episode of Smallville: Season 2 it seemed as if "The Torch had been passed." Kevin Spacey did a wonderful take on Lex Luthor but I think Michael Rosenbaum can do better. As to who will play Lois... I have three suggestions--Rachael Leigh Cook, Camille Belle, or Mary Elizabeth Winstead. The idea of not introducing the main villain for the first movie used in Batman Begins was brilliant! So I would suggest that in the reboot Superman go up against Brainiac or Darkseid, or maybe even the Phantom Zone Villains

Superman Returns was a predictable chunk of crap that Nick Fury could've seen coming with his one good eye. I hated Lois, she was weak and pointless, and the new "grow your own continent, just add water" kryptonite was corny, and superman having a kid was insulting. Routh and Spacey were okay but does Lex need to be in every damn movie? What about Doomsday or a General Zod reboot? And for the record Smallvill takes DC continuity and pisses all over it.

Ok there has been a few good commits here but most and sorry to say all was just B.S... Yes there were definite issues with superman returns. I think DurkinKnight nailed a bunch of them on the head like following the story lines. I hate when a film comes out that just does not make since to the other films.

The action on this one just took to long get to it and kind of week. As with lex Spacey was a perfect fit but I Like to see superman have some real villains that give him a beating.

That being said superman returns was an ok film just had some flaws. I realize many people did not like the idea of a superman kid. I think it was brilliant. The right script from here we can see a very good film there is just so many directions that can be taken. kalabog above gave us one. So give the kid a break he can be evil and whoop on his dads butt, Superman’s new supper villain. Die like mentioned before. Turn superman into some kind of killing revengeful parent. I mean there are just so many things that can be done. So I hope the do a better job next time and defiantly keep the kid in some kind of fashion for the next one. It could lead to a fantastic film.

Brandon Roth did a good job as Superman, , i think it help cause he actually looked like Christopher Reeves. But i believe that he is not the right person for the direction they want the movie to go.
After Batmans sucess and the darker tpe of Super hero movie, , , I am wanting to see Smallvilles Tom Welling to be the man of steal. I RECENTLY HEARD THAT TOM WELLING WOULD BE SUPERMAN IN THE JUSTICE LEAGUE MOVIE. If this is true i do not know. But he seems like the perfect person for the role. He has been doing Smallville since day one, so he should be familiar with Supermans background and history. The Smallville show has actually set it up nicely to spin off into the JUSTICE LEAGUE movie.

Ok so i made an account just for this because it is so important to me. WHY HAVE ANYONE ELSE AS SUPERMAN WHEN TOM WELLING IS IN SMALLVILLE?! Ok here's how i see it. he has busted his butt for smallville to give everyone an inside perspective of Supermans life, starting when he was young. TOM has grown up with his character, starting 8 years ago when he was a freshman in highschool to now where he is in the daily planet working with Lois Lane, Still loving Lana, while still being best friends with Chloe Sullavin. Im sorry but i dont know about anyone else, but if there is a Superman Movie and if Tom Welling isnt superman i wont watch it. its as simple as that. He has more than earned his spot to be apart of superman on the big screen. Christopher Reeve belived in him, Smallville fanatics belives in him, and people who may decide to make a Superman movie should belive in him too. to add on this note the whole cast should join in on a movie. Its only right to not mislead the audience with Smallville and just replace everyone with new people. Everyone on smallville has more than earned there right to be apart of such a great movie, now the question is timing. When should a superman movie come out well i leave that to you guys its your job but i say smallville cast goes to the big screen, Not only will you guys save your selves and make lots of money. you guys will keep the audiences from smallville and i am definitely one of them. Smallville cast rocks!

Im sorry i dont usually care enough to comment on these and im not nearly informed as all of you and i love this website but i am so tired of hearing Brandon routh for superman. superman is my favorite super hero of all time and routh is a little wimpy beotch superman must be big strong and they must redo the suit Christopher reeves was a big dud and thats what they need to find someone physically superior and not some punk from crappy tv soaps
