“Without giving anything away, this is an epic film (and trust me: based on the sheer size and scope of the visuals and storytelling, that’s not an overstatement). It’s the “Godfather II” of comic book films and three times more earnest than “Batman Begins” (and fuck, was that an earnest film). Easily the most adult comic book film ever made. Heath Ledger didn’t so much give a performance as he disappeared completely into the role; I know I’m not the first to suggest this, but he’ll likely get at least an Oscar nod (if not the win) for Best Supporting Actor. Fucking flick’s nearly three hours long and only leaves you wanting more (in a great way). I can’t imagine anyone being disappointed by it. Nolan and crew have created something close to a masterpiece.”

I’m in.

Yeah, that was a total bullshit rumor.

I can’t find any links right now, but I remember reading on superherohype.com that everybody was pretty much moving on to other things. Singer wants to remake “Logan’s Run” and one of the writers was gonna direct something.

Last I heard was this Justice League aberration was cast and in development, and the guy that plays Superman in that would be in the next reboot.

But now I see Singer’s still thinking about it as recently as March, so maybe we’ll be okay.

I think I stopped caring about the character shortly after there was that comic arc where he got the weird energy powers. I don’t even pick up his comics off the shelf, so I don’t see myself mustering much enthusiasm for any further Superman films.

Singer and his crew are still on the Superman sequel, last I heard.

I don’t think there was much wrong with Superman Returns, but a lot of people hated the addition of the kid. (Me, I didn’t mind.) And a reboot would be necessary to ignore that.

I’m all for Millar taking over now that Singer and his writers are off the sequel (at least I think they are).

I loved Superman Returns. Is it lacking in action? Yeah, but it’s just more character-driven. It’s a beautiful companion piece to the original and the groundwork has been laid for a great future story line.

It’d be a shame to do a Hulk-like reboot now. I thought about that while watching the new Hulk movie. I was thinking, “THIS is what people wanted in Superman Returns.” Two Goliaths fighting it out with maximum destruction.

And yeah, the $200 million number that everybody loves to throw around — this thing was way in the hole long before Singer got hold of it. People forget about Nic Cage and Tim Burton and their salaries that were pissed away. There’s probably 30 mil right there.
