I don't want "McG"(inty) to do it. Terminator Salvation was one of the emptiest, most superficial films I've ever seen, all action and spectacle and hardly any plot, character, or even dialogue. It was just going through the motions -- "Okay, it's a Terminator sequel/prequel so we have to throw in this and that and the other thing," but none of it felt inspired or meaningful.
No idea who Fleischer is. As for Snyder, I wasn't crazy about Watchmen; it was decent, but not really right stylistically, too slick and polished for something that should've been more cinema verite in approach, and a little too slavish about replicating the comics' lines and images rather than focusing on the more important substance and tone. And I won't know if Man of Steel works until I see it.
So while I think people are being a little harsh on Ratner where X-Men is concerned, I do agree that this isn't an encouraging-sounding lineup WB is considering.
