Warner Bros. Wants Christopher Nolan to Help Them out with Superman. Pretty Please?

brandon routh is still the best to play superman, the prolem is not brandon it is bryan singer he did not workhard to the film

Supermans best weakness to exploit is his mind (kryptonite aside). He can get angry and he does have a physical equal (superior?) in Darkseid (pronounced dark side) all it would take is some emotional manipulation and bam angry supes. Angry supes + Darkseid = action that the fanboys deserve and people of all walks of life can enjoy = $$$$. and really in the end as far as the people who make the films are concerned money is all that really matters.

Superman, Superman II, Superman III, Superman IV: Quest for peace, Superman Returns, Smallville, Lois and Clarke: The New Adventures of superman and that doesn't even cover all of it!!!

Superman has been done to death! And I believe these days his character just doesn't translate to the big screen. The same could be said for his rather pathetic arch enemy Lex Luther and fellow hero Wonder Woman. If you had to make yet another Superman film, you would have to, like many others have said, give him a bad guy worth fighting. I personally felt that they should of made a new superman film with an old Superman (around 60). Have his powers fading as he ages and make him bitter and angry due to the death of so many friends over the years. That would give his character the grit it needs!

I can't believe Hollywoods bureaucracy! It's worse than government! Please, no more reboots! I don't actually consider "Batman Begins" or "Dark Knight" reboots because they were true to the character, unlike the previous Batman films. And while I respect Christopher Nolan very much for what he did, in my humble opinion, the Superman franschise does not need a reboot or go "darker" because it's not what the basic character is about. But Superman can be dramatically improved & streamlined.

Bryan Singer's misstep in "Superman Returns" was not-so-much closely following the original Superman I & II films (which I am a fan of, btw...), but rather it lacked hardcore action, which is expected from an epic character like Superman. "SR" needed an outstanding, powerful super-villian that could challenge Superman in strength & resilience and go blow-to-blow with him. Despite "SR's" flaws, now that the 'cement has been poured' (so-to-speak) a direct sequel can still be made in classic battle-royale fashion.

Here's a simple but effective formula: Bring back Routh (he did his best and has great potential), add a super-villian (like Doomsday or Braniac), kill Superman's kid from "Superman Returns" (giving Superman the emotional rage & instinct to wreak havoc on the murderous villian who took his son's life), ramp up the action 1000% (let ILM or WETA destroy Metropolis in a massive battle as in the "The Death of Superman" comic book), and watch how big the box office is. As for Bryan Singer, I think he did a fine job with "X2" and I think is now well aware of what is expected of another Superman film, next time around. At the very least they should consider giving him another shot at delivering the goods. Keep in mind "Batman Begins" was about rebuilding the Batman franchise much like "Superman Returns" was. If they make the next Superman an ass-kicking, emotional, exciting, vibrant, well-crafted, action-packed rollercoaster-epic-of-ride summer film, it can be as successful as "Dark Knight" was.

A reboot for a rebbot which only came out 4 years ago are you kidding me?, a stupid idea, someone in marketing needs firing, producing something that'll probably take 2 years to do will mean a 6 year gap between the films which for a rebbot is crazy.
When people care more about the dollar incentive than they do the brand integrity its time to move on and Nolan is not going to want to be the "Superhero" guy for Warner Bros, a studio that can't even get other areas of its business in order let alone the wealth of I.P it owns.

wow did you actually call "for the man who has everything" dark? you have got to be kidding me! if that is a dark story than my name isn't edgar bojangels! and what is the side of superman that we dont usually see in "our worlds at war"? that story arc is weak sauce. Superman is not a dark character, if he was then he would take over the world. Superman just needs a really dark villain to help flesh his character out a little more. i agree with everything you said in your second post but could not disagree more with your first one

I agree Dedpool. Im really not a fan of Superman myself, and i hate to say it, but im not sure we really need anymore Superman films..Its just seems as if he's become kinda tired over the years. I may be wrong but, if another Superman film came out im not sure i would be interested, hoenstly. I agree with your statement that Superman was most interesting in his darker stories and when he had to face adversity. Something else needs to be brought to the story of Superman on film. The same old cliche Superman that most people know him as, is just boring. Totally on point with your last 4-5 sentences Dedpool, i agree totally!
