Yep. It literally started with the Amazons. When Diana came to our world, she was about 18.On the other hand, I think Wonder Woman did a full from-scratch restart.

Yeah, these days I tend to see a lot more The Witcher referenced as Henry Cavill's major role a lot more than SupermanWasn't most of the news framed around his other super famous role, "The Witcher"?

To the general public and the media, Cavill is most recognized for portraying one of the most famous fiction characters ever created...and it has nothing to do with The Witcher.
You are reaching to the point of tearing your arms out of their sockets.
If you walk down the streets of many nations (Western or not), you will never run out of people who know "Superman", no matter the interpretation, or their level of interest. Over the decades, there's not a country I've traveled to / worked in where Superman is unknown to even non-fans. He's one of the few works of fiction that has a cultural global footprint across generations. No one is saying that about the Witcher. Cavill's recent history rumors about/return to/booting from Superman was news because of the character and the mark he so obviously made as the character, whether some desperately attempt to rewrite history.

I don't disagree with you regarding the fictional character of Superman.
Read my post, join the world of reality and allow my arms to remain where they are, please.
I'm disagreeing on the popularity you give of Cavill the actor as Superman. When your attempt at a movie is overshadowed by Aquaman (getting a sequel, by the way), some realizations have to be somewhat apparent I would have thought.
Go back in time and peruse the internet again. Variety, EW, CBR, CNN, everything I was reading online were all about The Witcher. Even news of the new X-Men cartoon, because of the showrunner, was under that shadow. No need to rewrite history. Again. It's just a matter of not being scared of reality.
COIE was a masterclass in creatively and effectively correcting a franchise's once-silly, muddleheaded course (more often than not). The guide for both readers and creatives to handle the post-COIE DC Universe going forward was laid out in the two-issue TPB History of the DC Universe (1986, by Wolfman and Perez), which recapped the history of the new universe and how its players existed at that time. That was the plan, but some editors/writers ended up trying to do their own thing despite the company-wide mandates for specific changes post-COIE, or thought a clear restructuring was confusing, hence the Zero Hour miniseries and tie-in titles, and from that moment of unnecessary self-imposed confusion, its been a company going off of the rails ever since.
I agree that COIE as a story is great. I still have my original copies. I probably still have the Histories somewhere. It is a shame about what happened afterward.
This is the issue with reboots. It's ostensibly a fresh start, but in practice writers still want to play with all the old characters and concepts that are now erased. So now they have to busy themselves with re-introducing all that stuff instead of doing something new, which is kind of the opposite of a fresh start.
They can get around this by going all in with in media res, start with the characters already in the middle phase of their careers. But if you're going to do that, why not just not reboot in the first place?
I like Routh as Supes. But instead of Supergirl? Pass.I was thinking the other day that instead of using Supergirl in the upcoming Flash movie they should have used Brandon Routh. That way you could have had a classic pair up with Keaton's Batman since Routh is supposed to be Reeve's Superman.
since Routh is supposed to be Reeve's Superman.
You seem to have a lot of faith in this Supergirl. Let’s hope it pans out.I like Routh as Supes. But instead of Supergirl? Pass.
Well, I'm a big Supergirl fan (as well as, obviously, a big Superman fan). I'm always going to be excited for any new portrayal of her. Of course, Calle's an unknown quantity in the role at this point, but I choose to be optimistic.You seem to have a lot of faith in this Supergirl. Let’s hope it pans out.

And at least 2 out of that 3 would name Christopher Reeve.I think if you ask 10 people on the street if they heard of Superman, 10 will say yes.
If you ask them who played him in a movie, maybe 2 or 3 will name an actor.
