I don't care if they reboot it, I don't care who plays Superman; all I care about is that Superman fucking PUNCHES SOMETHING*.

Brandon Routh leaving Superman?
- Thread starter Admiral_Young
- Start date
That's too bad. I liked Routh in the role.
And a new script. One that is not filled with inappropriately placed quotes of Donner's film, and a lead actor who plays Superman, not does a Christopher Reeve impression.
No one wants a sequel to Returns.
Go to Big Lots, they have 10 copies of Superman Returns for $3, no one wants them. Go to any Walmart in the USA they will have no less than 50 copies of it for $5, no one wants it.
The movie is a failure in the only sense that matters, there will never be a sequel to it because no one wants to own the movie!

1. If you really think Superman was a dead beat dad, then you have absolutely no idea was a dead beat dad is.
2. If you think Superman was stalkerish, then I suggest you watch the pilot of Lois and Clark and you'll see a real stalker Superman
On topic: This news doesn't surprise me. As much as I would like to see a sequel, I think the movie stands well by itself.

I was the same way. The person I went with enjoyed it and turned to me afterwards. "What did you think?" they asked.
"I thought it was awful." And then I just didn't stop giving it a bashing.
I had high hopes for that film and it failed to deliver on almost every count. Let's get away from that film as fast as possible and reboot this franchise.
ST-One
Vice Admiral
Mhmm... I think I'm gonna buy the Blu-Ray now.
Don't even suggest it.
^ I'm afraid it's already been suggested lol.
The studio not rushing out a sequel proves otherwise.
Batman Begins was smart, fun and actually enjoyable. S:R was dumb, stupid and yawn inducing.
For Heath's death, yes.
No, WB saw how lackluster the response to Singer's Superman was. Nobody cared for a repeated viewing for something that should have been Superman's comeback to the movies. It was an uninspired and unimaginative movie which the majority moviegoers shunned.
I hope he does not leave. I thought he played a great Superman. Also he seems to meet the current 'unknown youth criteria' casting agents are going for these days, a la Star Trek.
I realize there has been a move from Hollywood to 'Dark Knight' the superhero franchises, but Superman is not like Batman in that regard. Only thing Supes need is a worthy villain that has an evil plan that hopefully will not include real estate this time.

I own it. I loved Superman Returns. I thought Routh was fantastic and so was Spacey. I don't see a need for a reboot at all, but if they did, I'd want to see an older Superman, like the old Earth 2. They could have him fight an old Batman!
God I hope they reboot the franchise. I'm sure that's probably what they're aiming for, since it has been 3 years since the first film and no plans exist for any kind of sequel to SR.
Honestly, I almost fell asleep during this movie, and that NEVER happens to me. It was the most boring superhero movie I can remember viewing.
I can't think of anything redeemable about the film, except that I felt like Kevin Spacey is the best guy to play Luthor right now.

“Superman Returns” was nothing more and nothing less than a love-letter to Richard Donner. The film was a rehashing of his outdated “Superman,” and Singer’s film is essentially a really expensive fan film that killed the cinematic Superman for yet an entire generation. I mean, 20 years worth of anticipation, a $204 million dollar budget, legions of fans, and they still screwed it up?! Wow! Kate Bosworth was bland, boring, and horrendous as Lois. That kid, forgot his name, as Jimmy was pathetic. Langella as Perry White was a lifeless imitation of a revered character, and the son, the stupid son was such a bland, and scary looking creature. I mean, he never blinked, acted too much like an idiot, even for a five-year-old, and was totally unlikable. This movie tarnished Superman for a generation.
And the thing about it that really angers me is that Singer, the self-proclaimed “Superman Fan” did more harm to Superman than goon. In Summer 2005, he went to Comic-Con boasting about how he “knew” the Superman legend and was going to make a great Superman film. What we got was a shoddy product. Like a car or door-to-door salesman, Singer acted like a con-artist, pitching his product to us, gaining our trust, and then dumping a worthless piece of garbage in our laps. We were duped by this con-artist. He didn’t care for Superman, and chose to ignore any and all post-crisis comic books. The only exposure this con-artist had to Superman was to Donner’s outdated, and somewhat campy film.
And let’s not forget the millions of plot-holes in “Superman Returns.” I mean, how the hell could Superman lift a damn kryptonite island, let alone an island in the first place albeit with a kryptonite shard still stuck in him?! Well, I’ve had it with this film and here we are three years later and this film is dead and buried and has not lasted the test of time. It had already faded away. Good.

I agree 100%.
