I've never been that big a fan of any of the Superman films so I don't know how excited I'd be about another film. However there are some things I'd like to see done with a new movie. Eventually there will be another movie.
1. Anyone involved with the creative side of the film should not have worked on any previous Superman movie.
2. Start from scratch. Redo the origin but in less time than it took Richard Donner. In the original film it's nearly an hour before Superman first appears.
3. Cut down on Superman's powers. For me the character is far too powerful to be interesting or fun. It doesn't mean he has to go back to the Golden Age level of powers.
4. No allusions to Superman as a Christ figure. That's not a criticism of religion I just think it's been over done.
5. Don't cast a star or big name actor as the Man of Steel. Remind the leading man that Superman is the reality and Clark Kent the disguise. Christopher Reeve really nailed that aspect in the original movie.
