They have Smallville, and the first two Christopher Reeve movies to use as solid templates to build upon. He has been around for 70 years and has been a huge influence on comic book creators, and other media visionaries alike. The should stick with what works. Looking back, one of the aspects of the first Donner film that I really enjoyed was how normal the world of Superman appeared to be. No extremely hi-tech city, no villains in weird costumes (yet) just an extroardinary individual in the real world. This sense of normalcy also appeared in Smallville, the the first 2 X-men films as well as Batman Begins, worlds that I would recognize and could live in. Superman returns as well as some of the 90's Batman films were too fanciful to be believable. Remember the First Superman film. You will believe a man can fly (or something like that.) Mornin,

They could totally have reworked what they had instead of gutting the franchise. If they wrap it around Lex-as-businessman and keep Kal-El from being too weepy and outcast, I don't see a problem if only because I didn't love Spacey as Luthor, thought Lois was totally miscast, and the son of Superman? That's just Singer throwing his weight around to leave some sort of imprint. As long as there's not another origin movie. For God's sake we've SEEN IT. WE KNOW IT. GET TO THE MEAT. Hmm…what a waste.

I had absolutely no interest in Superman before Grant Morrison took over. I agree cory. I had absolutely no interest in Superman before Grant Morrison took over.

If I were Warner Bros. I would hire GRANT MORRISON to do the Script. I would also hire John Cassaday to do the Storyboards and Design. Science Fiction has to be A MAJOR COMPONENT. In fact, I would have an extended opening scene that takes place on Krypton. I heard that Bryan Singer and the actor who played his Superman were being fired.
