Really? I thought Singer should have stuck with his X-Men films and left Superman alone. Returns, IMHO, was a complete snorefest, and a lack of actual villains besides Luthor didnt help at all. But I do have to admit Brandon Routh was a good Superman.
and giving Singer COMPLETE control of the project? you're scaring me!

[shadow=red,left,300]^ I agree with Doomsday.
Superman Returns was so lame, I could hear my (and everdody else in the theatre) I.Q drop as I watched. Singer should have stuck with the X-men movies.
But yes, Brandon Routh was a good Superman. That was the only good thing about it! [/shadow]

Singer's Superman Returns was nothing more than a tribute film to the first two films, and he actually took alot of elements from them and updated them in his movie, which I agree with you guys was a complete YaWn bore....
And Brandon Routh did a great impression of Christopher Reeve's Superman. Routh is a spot on Superman and if given the chance to play him again, which I doubt they will if they are rebooting, he needs to bring something different to the role and make it his own.
A Darker Superman? Hmmmmm..... Not sure on that one, I guess I will have to wait and see what exactly they mean by Dark. I am hoping for a return to glory for the Superman costume, with the bright red, blue and yellow, and a SUPER HUGE \S/ on his chest.
One thing they should take from the Nolan's Batman is bring in a new villian for the reboot film, it worked with Ras, & Scarecrow, so for the next Superman film NO LEX LUTHOR, save him for another film, just like Nolan did with The Joker for The Dark Knight, And No Kevin Spacey!!!

When I saw SR in the theaters, a guy fell asleep. His group was walking behind me and I heard a guy saying that he fell asleep about half way through. I thought that was pretty funny.

The Reboot Film should be a special effects/CGI Fest. With all of Superman's abilities and Super Villians, WB and whoever is directing would be smart to utilize that and have a beautiful masterpiece on the screen. Something like Lucas does with all of his Star Wars movies with the lasers and big booming Ships and stuff.
Bring in Villians like Metallo, Brainiac, and Bizzaro!!!

[shadow=red,left,300]I think the Techno Bat is right. They should find other villians instead of just Lex Luther all the time. He is the most over used charactor in the TV shows and movies.
Superman has a fantastic group of villians. I would like to see some more exciting villians like the Atomic Skull, Parsite, Mister Mxyzptlk, Lobo, Etrigan the Demon (I just like the Demon and would like to see him in a live action movie).[/shadow]

Parasite should be the villain for the reboot film. he fits perfectly. if they are staying on Earth then it has to be Parasite. if they go to space or have it be an alien threat then it has to be Darkseid or either Mongul.

Who I'm itching to see is Metallo. He was one of my favorite, though underrated, Superman villains next to Lex Luthor and Brainiac.

Why hasn't Brainiac been in any of the Superman movies? And I'm not talking animated like Brainiac attacks or anything like that. It seems like it should have been a top priority. Next to Lex, I would say Brainiac is probably Superman's #1 villain. Of course that is debatable, it seems like such a stupid thing. I read that a coupl of the scrapped Superman movies had him as a villain. Superman doesn't need to be rebooted. He needs a better challenge. Of course Parasite would work well for a movie as well, but I think Brainiac is a bit more epic.

JLavaia, Mongul would be killer, but I wonder if they will save him for the Green Lantern franchise? Either way, It would be fantastic to see him on the big screen. I liked his appearence on the JLU cartoon.
And Parasite would work even better for a reboot. Have him as the main villian and use Metallo, who I agree is under-rated as a second level villian, sort of how The Scarecrow was used in Batman Begins.
And I agree Jacktheskull Supes does have a good cast of villians, its just too bad that in every single Superman Movie that was made, has only featured Lex Luthor, and a made up Nuclear Man. I did like General Zod (Terrance Stamp)

Well, if they are rebooting it they'll have Luthor as the main villain again, since he's the arch enemy. They could show a cameo by Brainiac near the end to set up the premise for the sequel, though.

I have always loved this version, if they could do something like this it would be awesome:
Or even this version:
Just as long as they don't have him running around in underwear and being all green skinned and looking like Lex Luthor I am all good.

if they used Brainiac, they'd probaly make him how he is on Smallville. personally i'd prefer to see Brainiac 13 over regular Brainiac.

It could be the regular Brainiac in a Buzz Lightyear type mechanical suit!

I want to see a huge battle in the sky, whether it be in outer space or up in the sky, I think it's way too long to have seen amazing flying battle, between Superman and anyone of his villians, that can either Fly or have a suit that can help them along

I'm down with a re-boot. I hate all of the Superman Films. I know, stone me. But I have never enjoyed them. I do, however, like Smallville. Go figure.

And speaking of Smallville, have you seen the season opener trailer? Looks like it's going to be a great season

We are working on buying all of the seasons to watch through right now. I have season one on DVD and season seven on blu-ray

I have season one on DVD and season seven on blu-ray I watched the first season, then I stopped watching because it became very "soap opera-y", IMO. I hated the Clark/Lana/Chole love triangle stuff. I loved the diffrent ways people were affected by kryptonite. The season before last(that would make it season 6, right?) I watched a preview for the season finale. It looked really good so I watched it, and then I really got into it again last season. I missed a ton of stuff! Everything involving Zod, Brainiac, Mxzptlik, etc. But when I saw Bizarro in the season 6 Finale, I had to start watching it again. Now I can't wait for this season. i've heard a bunch of rumors about who will appear and I can't wait!

If they do a reboot then they need to stay far away from Lex Luthor. He's been played to death is the film's. I'd bring back Routh and make him have some solid backbone and actually fight someone.

I'd like to see Superman finally have the same haircut he has in the comics.
I'd like to see him fight Metallo or Parasite. I do not want to see him fight Mr. Mxyzptlk or Lex Luthor.
If they do go with Brainiac, would you like to see the pre-Crisis computer version or the post-Crisis organic version?

[shadow=red,left,300]^Wow! Even the producer agrees that Superman should have kicked more butt!
I agree that Kate Bosworth was a terrible Lois Lane. And now that I think of it, Brandon Routh could have done a better job as Superman![/shadow]
