Singer Still Cryptic About His Superman Involvement

It was a great dissapointment seeing what he did with Superman after two successful X-Men movies. I'm totally agree with Ecksmanfan.

LOLOLOLOL!!! Wow.. Shaman that was pretty harsh but I have to agree I think Singer slit his own throat with Superman Returns. His man love for Donner assured his doom. I don't think it's that difficult to come up with a script for a new Superman movie and I don't even think it would be hard to not ditch the last one and move forward. They just have to be sure what they are going for. I'm sorry a sappy love story is not what people want. Did he think he was directing Leonardo DiCaprio or something? I was waiting for Celine Dion voice during those super stalker scenes.. come on.. it isn't that difficult! And as I said before.. I REFUSE to believe they spent $250 million on that movie.. someone got paid off that debacle.. what the hell did each character get $20 million to do the movie? I don't think so.. I am a die hard Superman fan and I can't wait for the next installment but Superman being the last person on earth and blowing up isn't what I want to see in the end.. sorry..

I also think Marvel is just laughing hesterically as they keep hitting the Sweepstakes with every film.. I just don't get it how hard is it to get it together for god sakes.. Maybe if they had some true leadership in play instead of taking there queues from what the next guy is doing they'd be further down the road.. it's sad.. they are milking one property tryingt o figure out how to transfer that films success to Superman and others.. when they should be looking at them as individual projects and what works for batman might not work for the others..

They need to do like Marvel has...Take the producer of the successful franchise(whoever produced the Batfilms) and put them as exec producer of the whole shootin match. It would be aping of the highest order, but they could even follow the formula so much as to have a whole bunch of solo films leading up to a JLA movie....


It works for Marvel.

haha speaking of the devil,
I honestly think the superman franchise needs a fresh new take. Because how many times are we going to see Superman fight Lex.
If i am correct I read that Kevin Spacie( i spelled it wrong) might be sign on for the next superman.
and my point again about Singer to Superman was way to much for his plate. with x-men he had the job to introduce a new world of heroes to the masses, which he had trouble with the pressure as a director, and with superman waaaaayyy to much to handle especially since superman is a well know icon.
Here is the way the next superman should come out (DC people)
Invasion of earth
and guess who is leading the invasion
an actuall super powered villain.
(next move is yours DC people)

Superman returns should of been titled super-emotional-man.

The problem with superman returns is they focus so much on special affects and forgot about the action. Superman got into one fight through out the movie and lost. What DC should of did was look at matrix three with the last fight seen. Instead of Keanu Reeves its superman and instead of the agent is ....... ?

I dont know, who would be the best villian. Dark side or Dooms Day?

-Crusader

HANDS DOWN DOOMSDAY!!! His death NEEDS to be on the big screen, i cannot stress this enough!!! But seeing how big of pussies DC/WB are, we might have to settle for DARKSEID which in my opinion, at the moment, is a fair compromise...nothing less!

Yea, Darkseid kicks ass. Awesome villain. Ummm, I think the majority of people have commented enough on how this new Super flick should go. It's just bantering now, over and over again. We all know what we as a collective comic book fan community want to see...UNFORTUNATELY, the suits are not giving it to us, and probably aren't going to. They're just going to continue to rape and pillage the EASIEST superhero to do. Apparently thinking that giving Kal-El a [frick]ing baby was somehow COOL. When it wasn't at all even remotely necessary. The baby should die in the next movie. Piss Supes off, let him go apeshit...Maim people...Do something other than cry like a little BITCH!

Thank you scorpio...Now for some comedic interlude.
Here's a list of thing I ind to be hysterical when CBM censors them...Some make sense to be censored, most do not. Enjoy. Also, this is taken from the Spirit Mag Covers section in the archive now.

Yea, I got on them about the whole [wiener] censoring things, it does make for some good entertainment sometimes, such as [wiener] Tracy, Game [wiener]s, [wiener]block, han[wiener], [wiener] your weapon, stop [wiener]ing around, poppy[wiener], [wiener]atoo, [wiener]ed and ready, [wiener]head, Emily [wiener]inson, Charles [wiener]ens, etc etc. ALL pretty funny.

i still maintain superman returns was a great movie..obviously not what all supes fans wanted to see..but great non the less. but i agree maybe its time for new blood..or at least a new direction. but does anyone else think it would be a shame to lose brandon routh? like the movie or not, he did a bang up job

Probably become dark like batman.

Here's something about Rooth that people seem to neglect! They say he's a bit of a wuss as Superman... SO WAS REEVES!!! Now imagine him getting royally PISSED!!! After seeing Lois and son dead in his arms(not being able to spin around the Earth once more cause this is a reboot a that idiot sac a shit panzy power never EVER existed as a freakin' possibility!!!). Now wouldn't that be cool? Isin't that what the masses want? To see this preppy wuss make a MAN of himself and mop the floor with the culprate in an all out FURY?

DAMN RIGHT!!!

While it seems to be the consensus that nobody liked Superman Returns, I still think Singer did an admirable job. It felt like it belonged in the same series as the original films. Despite the fan response, Singer has made many great films (Who didn't like Usual Suspects?) and I think he has it in him to redeem himself. Of course I doubt Warner Brothers will risk potential millions again so it's all kinda moot. I don't care what kind of ambiguous talk we hear, Singer probably won't be back.

Singer was the death of any good X-men movie and the creature of the unAmerican way superman I hope he leave and never comes back so a really director can get the job done!

yeah but with a villain like darkseid or doomsday he has no choice but to unleashe his full strenght and fury..weve never seen that supes on film

The Doomsday story would be the best candidate for a new series if they're considering a reboot. I love the other films (even the bad ones) but the Lex Luthor thing has been done to death. If they want it to be dark like they keep saying, then killing Superman would do it. They can't make the character like Batman no matter what they do, but the villain not being a cheeeseball would be a big step in the right direction. Plus everyone would get all the action they said was lacking in the Superman Returns. How about it movie executives? Topher Grace could play Doomsday. And to even out the mix, Gary Coleman could play Mr. Mxyzptlk.

this is killing me...the first superman movie since 1987 and everybody pisses and moans about what singer did and didn't do...whine and cry, piss and moan...as far as the lex overkill - who in the hell were they supposed to have as the bad guy in the first movie in almost 20 years? toyman? please. the death of superman with doomsday? who really wants to see superman get killed? ok, i'll agree the thing with the child was a little weird but hey, it's show business and you gotta have a twist. look, there is nothing like the original. the donner movies are going to be hard to beat. i think bryan singer did a great job. people are on the internet clamoring for a green lantern movie. green lantern is cool, but come on - a movie about the green lantern? we need another superman movie. in 3D. soon. have brandon come back with singer directing - combine lex and bizarro as the bad guys. put kate bosworth in short skirts. hire some blond chick with great big boobs to play miss teschmacher (sorry if that is not the correct spelling). this is superman - the greatest hero of all time. not spidey, not batman, but frickin superman.

DOOMSDAY WOULD BE A GOOD THING FOR A REBOOT OR BRING BACK THE KRYPTONIANS FOR A ROUND 2, DARKSIED, BRANIAC, THIS IS WHAT FANS WANT,OH AND SUPERMAN RETURNS WAS OK, BUT IT WAS TWO NOSTALGIC, THIS IS A NEW TIME, LEAVE THE GOLDEN STUFF TO CHRISTOPHER REEVE, LETS SEE SOMETHING NEW...SINGER..GO AWAY, GO BACK TO XMEN, YOU WERE GOOD THERE.

i too thought SR was a good solid movie, but like most i agree that it could have had more action similar to the aeroplane scene. the next film, superman should be up against and arch villain, who? i am not sure yet. Lex should be president (with one hand)and there should be a good quota of fighting preferrably all over the planet, in metropolis, in london,over the ice caps etc etc BUT a movie with all fighting and no story will still not make a good film, the back drop has to be a strong story line. The obvious one is that as his earth parents are both now dead his moral guidance is becoming diluted until it slowly dawns on him that he could be living God to people of the earth. this will bring an inner fight to supermans psyche which should make a cracking movie.

Well i do agree with that. But it's that we're already tired of waiting. If we had a Superman movie everyyear and a half like Harry Potter i'd say go for it but damn i'm gettin old. I'd like to see the whole death and rebirth thing before i get to it myself!

my hope is that one day, in my lifetime, someone has the balls to make the dark knight returns into a movie....maybe give supes a bit of a bigger role..but otherwise dont change a thing
