Is it time to give Abrams another crack as Superman?

If
I'm sure he could keep Krypton around.
The point is he isn't afraid to change things up that causes massive hysteria to the fanbases.
Maybe Krypton is destroyed at the end of the movie.
he can destroy Vulcan

Spoiler alert
Point well taken.
Everyone needs to remember that the spoiler limits are in effect board-wide and not just in the Trek forum. Believe me.... the excitement is more than understandable and Trekdom BADLY needs it. Just remember to spoiler code juicy tidbits like that.

Okay. I've seen the new Trek and understand there's more to your question than there appears at first blush.
I feel that Abrams is a technically gifted enough director, and surrounds himself with creative enough people, to turn out a good Superman flick. What I still feel is not needed are the revisions in the script. Trek - in my opinion - was a fattened slow moving animal trembling under the weight of its own bloated continuity. A script which rejigged many familiar elements to move in a clean, fresh direction was needed.
Superman, I don't feel has that sense of being hemmed in by its past. The familiar Superman elements don't necessarily need to jettisoned as they were in the Abrams proposed script because there is much about the character - and many adventures in his universe - which are still unexplored. The character simply needs a good story.
