^ AFAIK, that's exactly what JMS' current Superman arc is doing now, called "Grounded". Superman literally is walking across the entire country, getting in touch with the people.
I think they should make a Superman film based on "Superdickery"
I would like a superman film that explores him as he very slowly ages compared to the rest of Humanity, he has to watch Lois die of old age, he watches Humanity go extinct despite his best efforts, he saves the planet from the sun getting bigger and expanding, and he is left in his old age on a cold dark earth circling a cold dead sun.

And really, any REAL updating of the Superman mythos must dump the Daily Planet anyway. Newspapers were information hubs in those days, with access to information at a faster rate than the average joe. Thus when a crisis, crime or disaster broke out, he could quickly find out and respond. That was the ENTIRE reason for becoming a newspaper man.
Why can't he be an "outlaw ass kicker" and still be the big boy scout?Supes doesn't need a makeover. He needs a filmmaker who is willing to make a movie about who he is: a naive and sincere alien immigrant who fights for Truth, Justice and the American Way.
I've always found this version of Superman boring. Gimme 1938-39 Superman anyday. He wasn't naive, and he fought for the common man. He was an outlaw ass kicker taking on corporate abuses, corruption and whatever the hell else pissed him off, with the cops trying to arrest him.
Somewhere along the way, he became a boring boyscout working to maintain the status quo. But that's not how he started. Someone once said that 1938-39 Superman was the most subversive mainstream super hero, even moreso than Batman.....I agree.
... Palestinian land.
... Palestinian land.
There is, and never has been, any such thing.

I think the majority of us don't want batshit I/P mentalism taking over this thread - if you guys want to talk about that, start a thread down in TNZ.
Remember the last time they tried to give Superman a makeover in the comics? We got this...

What exactly is "batshit I/P mentalism"?
BTW, I voted "No."
When was the last time we saw and unabashed, decent "good guy" on the screen without it being done ironically?
