yeah i hated the kid idea, our they shoulda made it the husbands, swerved us all

Funny you say that Riff---I was thinking the same thing.

I liked it too Hue...but could have done with the Kid.

As much as I LIKED "the kid" and the plot that brought 'im in,
if I was a "producer" on SUPES RETURNS
THAT was one thing I would have been AGAINST from the start.

With respect towards Singer and his SUPES RETURNS which I really liked,
having "the kid" in SUPES RETURNS means the super-kid would've had to have been "dealt with" in subsequent SUPERMAN RETURNS movie sequels
which...frankly...is NUTS.

You guys can bring up all the things you hated about SR from here til DOOMSDAY and I'll probably disagree with about 90 percent of 'em (aka MOST of 'em)

BUT

having "the kid" in SUPES RETURNS doomed it from the start I'm thinking.

Has anyone suggested Nicolas Cage for Superman yet? He'd make an AWESOME Superman!


















I keed! I keed!

I am pretty sure he was one of the actors tied to the failed projects that happened between S4 and Returns. Even 10 years ago I couldn't imagine him as a good superman. I barely liked him a ghostrider

I think Singer made all the right choices in his own new "Superman III".

Unfortunately most others didn't.

apparently , singer said this film was set between films 2 & 3 and yet he changed the sets of the daily planet , his ice home , his suit ( dont get me started ). If you are going to say its set between , well whatever , then at least keep the sets etc for continuity.

He also changed the actors too (except for Brando).

well , there is one person i would definatley drop and thats the director.....brian singer or whatever his name is....utter useless.

Keep routh....i thought he did a decent job out of an utter tripe of a story.

I loved Iron Man , maybe they could the director from that , singer shouldnt be allowed within a million miles of it.

would like to see some fresh villians , brainiac.

The cartoon doomsday was excellent.

as you can probably see im a big superman fan

[palitoy]

Yeah, I gotta believe Routh might be gonzo for the next film. Even though I think he could pull it off.

[Earth 2 Chris]

I think they have to cut Routh. I thought the guy made a fine Superman, but the next movie needs a true fresh start and needs to cut any and all ties to the previous films.
I dont want Welling for the same reason...it would bring all the Smallville baggage along, whether it was intended as a carry on from the series or not.

Got to go with someone different. Different music,and different tone (ie--no Luthor and no real estate schemes.) . If it has ties to any previous film incarnetion of Superman, I would hope it would be the Fleischer toons. fighting bad guys with bullet cars, giant robot men...that sort of "hoo haw" fun!!

I would be REALLY surprised if they used Routh at this point. I thought he did a fine job, but unfortunately, he was interpreting Chris Reeve's portrayl, and not given the chance to develop his own take. And the movie underperformed, plain and simple. It's all should be on Singer's head, really, but Routh gets the brunt of it. I hope the guy doesn't get typecast and left in the dust.

I don't want a new Superman actor...Brandon Routh is fine by me.

I am with you Hec but the fact they didn renew his contract tells me he has NO SHOT of ever being cast

[Riffster]

make it fast and furious.

Supermans going to race in suped-up cars in the new movie?

[The Bat]

Either way, make it fast and furious.

DAMM right Paul! We need tons of ACTION in the next Superman Flick!!

[Hulk]

Routh or Welling. If you go Welling, then go Rosenbaum. If you go Routh, then bring on Braniac or even Doomsday. Either way, make it fast and furious.
