The rumor I've often heard said Warners execs were unsure about Cage and wanted to see him in the suit. Supposedly this photo killed the entire project. If this is legit, you can certainly see why.

My younger brother had some of the toys that supposedly moved interactively based around signals sent out while watching the show. Never really worked like they were supposed to, but they were kind of cool... vac metallic plastic and all.

That is the stupidest thing I have ever seen!!!
Cage as superman I never felt that was a good fit at all.

To back up what Chris said; I had a photo of Cage in a more traditional supersuit, that we all here figured was a photoshop, and it probably was. I got the pic from a guy at Hasbro who worked on the toys. Hasbro may have done the photoshop themselves for the toy designers (the figures were indeed well underway before the plug was pulled). Anyways, he told me when the Warners execs saw the Cage photos they went into fits of laughter, before sending this impending stinkorama to its doom. Whether this photo, or the other, its easy to believe this story!

Maybe that was Cage at a Halloween party? All the same not a pretty sight. The drawings/designs almost look Spawn like

I'll guess that the "NICHOLAS CAGE as SUPERMAN directed by TIM BURTON"
would have been an interesting watch---but doubtful I would've found it as
satisfying as I did SUPERMAN RETURNS. Either way, it's pretty definite
neither would've bourne "franchise fruition".

I think the problem with Burton's and to a lesser extent Singer's versions of Superman is that I don't really think he's an "Outsider"... Yes, Supes is the Last Son of Krypton and all that, but his story is more of a Second Generation Immigrant story. He's different, but ultimately he's got all the tools he needs to fit in, even if it is as awkward Clark Kent.

Superman is a character that should be comfortable in his own skin and with others around him.

I don't know if I can agree with that.

Superheroes are defined heavily by their flaws and/or problems.

Superman is, after all, an alien...it's as good a chink in armor as any to
explore in a feature film IMHO.
