He has been around for 7 - 8 decades, I would presume he is older than any of us here. He has gone to many adventures, he is strong enough to bend steel, fast enough to outrun a bullet but why can't he maintain a regular movie series?
It bothers me that the news everywhere is that the Last Son of Krypton is grounded indefinitely. Is it really tough to come up with a Superman story? They do it regularly in the comics, I would like to believe that any of those could transfer well as a movie.
I don't think it's the finances, DC is backed up by a Major studio, Warner Bros. I would presume that a superman movie will always do good in the box office, I know that the last one was a bit of a drab, but it still manage to haul in good numbers right. Superman is so well known, all you have to do is make a movie and people will come, especially us - right!?
I think that is why Smallville is doing good, because people do know that he will become Superman, but the longer they hold out the longer the people will get frustrated. It's getting ridiculous already, why he is still not Superman its high time he becomes Superman. Superman in TV had a good track record even that desperate housewifey - Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman was a good watch back in its time.
Back to my rantings about the Superman movie. I want it now, I do not want to wait another 4 or 5 years. I really don't see why it could take that long and how difficult a Superman movie could be done.
I'm not sure how you guys feel, but I think a good number of you would like to watch Superman fly again and really really soon. He is the reason why we have superheroes, why we have superhero comics and why we have superhero movies. So I think it's just proper that he take that right and give us a regular dose of the Man of Tomorrow.
Make a new Superman movie and maybe that Superman Return movie will just be a hicccup in the long history of Superman.
