Hey Ja - Seeing as you are the resident Superman freak around here, take the time to read this treatment from '98 for the comics & tell me if most of it wouldn't work for a movie reboot & make him relevant for this day & age with non-fans:

You had me at:

"As part of his alien maturation process, Superman crosses a second, critical threshold of solar radiation absorption and suddenly wakes up three times more powerful and three times smarter."

This makes sense, and as it is at the beginning, I have no doubt that the rest of the proposal is going to be in line...I think this guys version of Superman will be entertaining though, which I hope is enough to entertain this character's legacy properly...It sucks to keep saying it, but the early Superman movies starring Chris Reeves got it all the way right...From Jor-El spending as many as 5 or more earth years kicking mad knowledge to Clark about the universe, to Superman being able to time travel, to who they picked as Superman, just all genius...

Agreed.

Nolan & Snyder need to check that treatment right quick methinks. Word on the vine is they might not even have Lois Lane in the new joint they're making. Big Mistake.

What's with hiring 2 Robin Hoods to be the dads? Russell Crowe as Jor-El & Kevin Costner as Pa Kent..
Robin Hood sends his son to earth to be raised by...Robin Hood.

Bleeding Cool,Reuters Entertainment, IGN, iFanboy

Something just occurred to me: Seeing as how the DC reboot makes the new costume official & only (for now anyway) continuity, Does this mean that Henry Cavill's Supes will be wearing that garish thing in the movie?

I think if they have any brains they'll give him the classic look but if it is different it'll realllllllly look different.
