New Superman Movie is "In a Weird Place"

You will believe a man can FLY!!!





I say SEQUEL (slash) REBOOT and lose the [frick]ing kid!!

BRANDON ROUTH is the perfect SUPERMAN!

if Jon Peters is still the producer i aint watching it.

Damn, weed will be legal by the time they decide to do anything with the Superman franchise!

Good lord.Why is this so hard?Clark goes to Metropolis, meets his supporting cast, becomes Superman, saves alot of people, draws the ire of Lex Luthor, Brainiac comes to Earth, tries to steal our knowledge before destroying the world, teams up with Lex, huge battles, cool special FX, good triumphs over evil, end credits.

Simple.

Don;t doubt the Routh! tell em Leee!

Not opposed to a reboot, but Burton imagined a retooling. Do I need to post a Cage pic?

that nic cage pic lol

i dont think McTeigue mean it that way i hope lol

WEAPON420- LOL!

I don't think there has ever been a good superman movie.
all the good one's are animated.

superman/doomsday best superman flick ever.

or any justice league/ justice league unlimited cartoon.

Jesus, WB get a move on! There is a huge potential for $$$ right in front of you, but your eyes are so far up your asses you can't see it!

Just reboot it with Routh!

Routhboot!

"There's some things you can do with the Superman franchise, there's other things you can't do."

What the heck do they not want to do? Hell, if the WB has any clue then why did they court Tim Burton, and let it fall to the hands of Jon Peters? I hope this means that DC Entertainment now has "standards" to uphold on the character. WB let the franchise suffer from serious sequalitis (a fate that killed the first Batman series) then let it bounce from sorry hand to sorry hand. Kevin Smith was the only one who might have had a grasp but was replaced with an insider that was proven. Then it was brought back with a film fan who had no concept of the principles of the Comic Character.

I have read here that the character needs to be "modernized" with new suit, background, look, values, friends, job, dark attitude etc. etc.. What happen is a change to the character in his values ended up upsetting longtime fans and hurting the earnings of SR.

DON'T CHANGE A DAMN THING! Our liberal strong additude of today is not the direction to go. Maybe we need a reminder of values that Superman use to represents. Conservitive Christian farm boy with the power to do whatever he wants but chooses to fight for Truth, Justice and the lost American way. The question to ask is how would this character adapt to a modern world but still follow the same design.

His first priority is to the Earth and making sure its protected from any overwhelming threat. The second priority is threats to all men. Third is to his city of Metropolis then his friends.

What makes this character unique is not some ill fated event that clouds his judgment like Batman, Ghostrider, Wolverine or Daredevil. The distruction of his home world has no bearing on Kal-El's judgement. Its the good folks that raised him with strong altrueistic values and guideance which make him a hero to trust. Captain America is very simular except he chose to undergo the Super-soldier Serium treatment that made him instill his dedication to his cause.

Superman should be the example of a super-hero that no other can live up to. Thats how he is reguarded in the comics by his peers. He should also be the "control" hero of all other hero archtypes to judge from. You might not like Superman or understand his cause but he has a distinced role and purpose.

lol jokes ^^^^^^^^

reboot it with tom welling as superman and who ever said to reboot batman to go along with a jla movie are they crazy nolan batman could actually fit in a jla movie

UNDERHILL @ If you had WELLING as SUPERMAN the movie would BOMB!!!!

GEEZUZ!



And how the [frick] did you get before my comment????!

I commented first??

TYLER @ I'm so will ya there and ROUTHBOOT too!! ; D

WELLING COULD DO SUPERMAN, I'D WATCH TO SEE WHAT HE DOES.RETURNS WAS OK BUT NOT WHAT I WANTED TO SEE IN A SUPERMAN FILM. WHERE'S THE SUPERPOWERED BAD GUY THAT PUSHES SUPES TO THE LIMIT? SURE ROUTH LOOKS LIKE REEVES, BUT ISN'T IT BEING TOO NOSTALGIC TO KEEP DOING THE SAME THING? FOLLOW THE SAME BEATS? I SAY DO SOMETHING FRESH, SOMETHING NEW...LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO BATMAN BEFORE BEGINS..IT TURNED INTO A MESS, THEN NOLAN STEPPED IN AND CHANGED THE WAY WE SAW BATMAN MOVIES, IT WAS COOL AGAIN.

Returns was a good movie in it's own right. However, it wasn't a good Superman movie. If that makes sense...

holy SHZIT! Did Lee and Joshw actually agree on something?

Hopefully now that DC Entertainment was established, they know what they need from a Superman movie. Just make it already. There have only been a few Superman movies and so much comic book source material to work with. Learn from Iron Man already.

@Joshw, Superman can gather dust and the value of the product will still rise. I mean, they could put out total garbage and the brand will still stand a chance for a revival. So when WB is ready, I hope they get it right and I hope to see Routh back.

They can do this movie so epic, if it takes WB time to figure this out right, give them that time then. I liked the trilogy, forgot who wrote it, but it starts out with a civil war battle on Krypton (much like Kandor on Smallville only bigger) I read it once on one of these sites, not sure which one though. It might be J.J. Abrams or something, don't know.
