As long as it features Superman kicking ass, I'm all for it...I'm not sure if there's a better choice for Superman if not Routh, though...Maybe Welling... :D
A reboot kinda blows, but picture a movie with a pissed off Superman...Eyes burning red, hitting some fucking out of space monster with a skyscraper...The bar has been raised man...With Superhero shit looming around every corner, its time we see why there is no one above the Kryptonian....

Exclusive: Mark Millar Talks Superman
Pitches his 'Magnum Opus' to Empire
[center]
[/center]
Mark Millar wants to create an epic 8-hour screen story which will follow the entire life of Kal-El from his birth on Krypton a thousand years ago, until he is the last being left on Earth.
Empire sat down for a chat with comic book writer and creator Millar, the man behind Wanted and the upcoming Kick-Ass, and he filled us in on his pitch for the follow-up to Superman Returns.
Mark has been working closely with a ‘big-Hollywood action director’ – who he refuses to name at this stage – on a pitch for what he is calling the Magnum Opus of Superman stories. His idea is for an 8-hour saga, split into 3 films to be released a year apart, in a Lord of the Rings fashion. Although several other sources have reported similar conversations with Mark, he went into further detail, fleshing out the story arc a little more.
“It’s gonna be like Michael Corleone in the Godfather films, the entire story from beginning to end, you see where he starts, how he becomes who he becomes, and where that takes him. The Dark Knight showed you can take a comic book property and make a serious film, and I think the studios are ready to listen to bigger ideas now.”
“The problem with Superman Returns was like releasing Star Wars in ’77, The Empire Strikes Back in ’80 and then waiting 28 years to release Return of the Jedi, it wasn’t relevant. I understand what Bryan Singer was trying to do, to pay homage to Richard Donner’s original vision, but I think you should pay homage by doing something completely different.”
“I want to start on Krypton, a thousand years ago, and end with Superman alone on Planet Earth, the last being left on the planet, as the yellow sun turns red and starts to supernova, and he loses his powers."
Certainly no-one can ever say that Millar lacks vision and if he and his ‘bigHollywoodaction director’ friend get backing for the project, and we certainly hope they do, it might just prove to be the Godfather of superhero films.
Wanted is out now on DVD, and is released on Blu-Ray December 1.
Well however this goes, One can't say that Millar's vision for Kal-El ain't epic in scope. What do y'all think?!?

Exclusive: DC Comics President Gives Superman Update
By Kellvin Chavez on October 2008

he only thing better than living in New York, is being at a party in New York. I was out on the town this past Monday night with my partners in crime El Mayimbe and Ron Henriques at the special WATCHMEN presentation that was scheduled for a hand full of media outlets. The footage we watched to me was very good. It had its moments. I definitely believe just like SIN CITY, you will either love it or hate it. I loved the opening sequence explaining the creation and the rise of the Minutemen, which quite frankly blew me away! It was that good. And honestly while I’ve never read the book, I must say I was inspired to immediately go out and buy one just so I am up to speed.
Anyhow, the real action didn’t happen inside the screening, but rather outside of it. While mingling around with guest and watching my partner in crime sneak food into his Latin pockets, I saw the one and only Paul Levitz, the President of DC Comics. I walked over to him and had a moment to hang out and chat with him briefly. I could not keep my mouth shut and had to ask the questions that Latino readers are asking. So I went in straight for the kill.
“So Paul, what the fuck is happening with Superman?” Well not in those words actually. Paul looked over both shoulders like he was about to score some basura and said that things are still brewing.
In fact, he told me that “Last week Brandon Routh has come around the offices in New York and Los Angeles as of late to talk about Superman and what we want to do”……blah blah blah!
At first I thought it was the Apple Martini I was drinking but I soon realized that I just heard a bombshell go off in my brain! Brandon? He did say Brandon Routh was coming around talking about Superman! Why the hell would they be talking to Brandon if he was not going to be part of the reboot? Because he’s still in the mix!!!
The truth of the matter is that the way Mr. Levitz made it seem is that they love Brandon as Clark Kent and that he’s just a great guy, which I agree. I mean remember we at Latino Review told EVERYONE he was going to be the next Superman.
At that point my instincts kicked in and I continued with the questions. “What about Batman 3? You guys must be going crazy over the success of that film.” Paul pulls the cocktail shrimp from his mouth just enough to see him smile. I asked when were they going to get this Superman reboot done and he gave me a look like he was about to tell me the answers to the mysteries of the world. “Everyone is waiting for Nolan to sign on for another Batman, once that happens, the release date for Superman and all other future projects will follow.”
I could not believe my ears! Not only did my partner in crime blast wind next to me, but basically Superman’s future hangs in the balance until we have a concrete signature on the Batman contracts! The party was getting good, and the drinks were flowing making this just as easy as prom night picking. So I pressed with my questions. “What about Green Lantern and Supermax? How is that moving along?” Paul continued that Green Lantern was actually moving faster than Supermax, which to me makes sense because the Green Lantern script was badass!! If you do not remember the review we did, here it is again. The party went into the night, and the drinks continued to flow, finally I knew I had to leave as soon as my partner in crime started to stumble all over the place, looking kind of green in the face.
As of now just a few moments ago another inside source confirmed that yes they are waiting for Chris Nolan to sign the deal with the next Batman, and that they want him to commit to a July 2011 release. If that happens then the following superhero films will be released.
Green Lantern Summer 2010
Batman 3 Summer 2011
New Superman reboot Summer 2012
Also in the mix is THE FLASH.

Re: Man Of Steel
I don't think I want to see a Green Lantern or a Flash movie that doesn't involve the rest of the JL...
But this Magnum Opus Superman thing, now that's what the fuck is up..! Routh was not the problem with Superman Returns...For someone to imagine Krypton with today's CG...That would be fucking awesome...I reeeeeeeeealy hope someone gets the shit right man...
Superman, the last person on earth...Hmm...I'm not sure why he'd stay on earth alone, but, whatever...He's Krytonian, there would be no need (He has the knowledge and technology to travel to another star) to stay, unless, of course, he decided to stay with what was left of the human race when our sun starts to die...
Sounds awesome, I wonder who the director would be though...

/Film snuck into Legendary Pictures' password protected company site, which lists Superman Unleashed as one of the company's upcoming films in development. Legendary Pictures was one of the companies responsible for bringing director Bryan Singer and Warner Bros. Pictures' Superman Returns to theaters in 2006.
The site says the listing includes the following synopsis:
"Ramping up the action of its esteemed predecessor, the sequel to 'Superman Returns' promises to raise the stakes and take the audience to heights of action that no other superhero movie can achieve."

Re: Man Of Steel
I can't understand for the life of me why they drag their heels on making a kickass Superman movie. I think they used Luthor so much that when someone mentions Superman the studio execs think ewwww another strong guy vs baldguy epic. Yet we still hear about the absolute shit in the makings like Green Hornet, Plastic Man and Stretch Armstrong? There is a serious drug problem in Hollywood.

Re: Man Of Steel
Yeah I knew most of that story but not all. It amazes me that some of these guys run Hollyweird. How does this happen? It seems the more they rant the more power a studio gives to them to make absolute shit projects.....sigh...

Re: Man Of Steel
I'd certainly not let a wacko hairdresser have any input into how movies were made. I understand why guys like Alan Moore & Neil Gaiman are mad dubious about Hollyweird. From Hell was botched like a mofo & LOEG was a mess (A fun mess though) & I was expecting Stardust to be wack but was pleasantly suprised it wasn't. I dig muchly on V For Vendetta though.
