Firstly , eliminate the entire cast of Superman Returns and keep Bryan Singer far away from it. Get an actor for Superman who is probably in his early-mid thrities with a greater physical build and get an actress for Lois Lane who has that sensual cynicism that Margot Kidder had (Kate Bosworth was horrible). I think that more people are losing interest in Superman because he's so overpowered that he never has to struggle with anything. What Nolan did for Batman was show a character who is flawed and troubled but not in an emo way, someone who we can relate to. The audience can't relate to someone when bullets bounce off their eye!!! Superman Returns was so boring and what the new film needs is more action but not braindead type of action. The series needs to start over and free itself of the past continuity like Batman Begins did. Superman's powers also need to seriously be toned down, make it so that he can't lift things that are enormously heavy (or at least he struggles to lift it) and there are tons of things he's weak against other than Kryptonite such as gases, electricity, drowning and most importantly he can be attacked psychologically. The series also needs to use a different villain other than Lex Luthor, he's appeared in 4 of the 5 Superman films and he's gotten too played out, he can be reintroduced in a later sequel but not in the first film. I think they could really use Braniac, he could perfectly use his intellect to exploit Superman's weaknesses and push him to the edge. Superman also needs to be darker but by darker I don't mean he's pulling guns out on people, I mean he's more realistic and flawed. The origin also needs to be retold in a modern setting, The original film "jumped" a lot when showing Clark Kent's past and the origin could be better fleshed out in the new film. We know that pretty much the whole world knows Superman's origins but the new film could add a new unique touch. What if Superman was really sent to conquer Earth, not save it? That would be a gutsy and interesting approach. I think Superman is in dire need of a reboot. Firstly , eliminate the entire cast of Superman Returns and keep Bryan Singer far away from it.

The film lasts 1 hour and five minutes, it has four dialogues, five of them are between Magneto and wolverine, one is between superman and magneto, they talk about wolverine. The last one is a monologue where brian singer disguized as Maron Brando explains how it would be a dialogue between wolverine and richard donner (singer acts the voices). I give the movie 8 out of ten stars, but this screenplay should be directed by lars von trier. I know the screenplay of the sequel:

Singer's take on SR was not for fans, more for his personal affection to Donner which was a lame idea. It's retarded to pay homage to Supes movie that was *already* been done that way. The narration and story was out of line for a Superman Returns. The kid stuff is shit! Those ideas work best in comics where story arcs can be written over a period. Superman is god-like powerful, we don't want to see him toying with emotions as a mortal. Leave to the Batman to deal with those persona. %100 REBOOT

What does WB have to lose? Superman Returns made more money than Batman Begins. X-Men United was better than X-Men so if anything this gives Singer what he needs to redeem himself. Singer seems to do better the second time around. I am afraid that if they go the route of a reboot we will end up with a Brett Ratner directed pile of dog shit.

I think it fits into cannon well, and was good setup for another movie. Brandon Routh and Spacey were great - keep them. It would be good for Superman's kid to die, though. Great potential for a character line for Superman! Imagine it - bad guy kills his son! I liked Singer’s Superman. I think it fits into cannon well, and was good setup for another movie.

I know he is a kryptonian and all, but...how long has he been here on planet earth?? i mean what have the Kents been teaching him?? you know... the farm thingy and red under wear is just gay. @#%$! anyway... well a reboot might do the trick, but don't call it superman. call it Kal El. We need to know Kal El as how Batman Begins tells the story of Bruce Wayne. Origins are very important, we can't afford to have another Superhero flying around and saving people out of good up-bringing. I mean Why does he do that? why does he need to save humanity? is it because by saving humanity, its a reflection to what he could have done to save krypton? TELL A STORY for gods sake, don't just throw it to our face and expect us to like it just because its "the most famous super hero on the planet". shit for brains i tell ya. oh...and bryan singer should be banned from directing. he mostly fuck things up. X-men could be waaaay better than what he did. he directed X-men like Tim Burton directed Batman. Good but not excellent. (well mainly singer is the jack ass, Tim still rocks,) Superman should wear pants.
