Honestly….I think that if they just bring in DOOMSDAY! recreate the epic battle on the big screen, it could be the greatest movie of all time! I say……kill him! In front of MILLIONS! Let Doomsday have his day in the sun! I’m willin to bet…that after seeing that….people won’t even go to work the next day!

I have a great idea about the new superman movie Solomon Grundy would be a great choice of villian for the new superman movie his origin would make the movie believable and its not about special effects but a great story (case in point the batman)

Routh made an average Superman. But that was mostly due to the script and costume. There have been 5 Superman movies over the past 30 years. Superman II was the only interesting one and that was due to the villains from Krypton.

Superman Returns had a great opportunity to reboot the whole story, just like Batman did, and they blew it big time. Anyone that likes it has never read some of the great storylines in the comics.

Superman has been my favorite my entire life and it makes me sad that the idiots at DC can not figure out how to make him interesting.

Also, Bond doesn’t first meet Felix Leiter until Dr. No. Another bit of evidence to support the reboot.

The fact that Dench play “M” is enough proof that its a reboot, b/c there isn’t a female “M” until “Goldeneye”, and even if there was Dench doesn’t play the role until “Goldeneye”.

@Methos, I think you and I are in complete agreement on this matter :-)

Let’s hope they cast the best possible people for the lead roles, and that they make a *great* Superman flick!

I’ll stop flogging this horse because we’ll still disagree in the end but lastly: I could argue the gender of M is alters Bond history. Though not clearly stated, one can infer from Valentin’s comments in Goldeneye that Dench is the first female M and recent successor. If that’s so then casting her as M in Royale ignores Bond continuity. Wouldn’t such change be qualified as a reboot? History is ignored. How about we find a middle ground? From Mi6-Home of James Bond, oct 2006:

“Prequel, Reboot Or Retcon?
So who is correct? Is “Casino Royale” a prequel, reboot, or retcon? The former may be the most commonly accepted term used by the media coverage to date, as the story harks back to the beginning of Bond’s career – but in modern times as opposed to the story’s 1950’s setting. Tabloids have latched on to the reboot concept due to the re-casting of 007 and the production’s apparent amnesia of the previous twenty films.

The lesser known term “retcon” is perhaps the most apt description of what the film aims to achieve, though. Retcon – a fusion of two words “retroactive” and “continuity” is the adding of new information to “historical” material, or deliberately changing previously established facts in a work of serial fiction.

Retcons are common in comic books, especially those of large publishing houses because of the lengthy history of many series and the number of independent authors contributing to their development; this is the context in which the term was coined, and aptly describes the Bond canon that has involved countless writers, directors and actors over the past 44 years.”

They better not reboot it. In my book they havent tapped chapter 2/100 of Supes life and its been 5 movies.

Rebooting it would be a step back IMHO

Hey, I’m just going by what the director says. I still consider “Royale” a reboot along with “Sum of all Fears” and “Batman Begins.”

And the Prequel Trilogy restarted Star Wars too.

You are just splitting hairs. Its not a reboot. No history is ignored, its a prequel.
