Singer on Superman: he looks to be in a hard place. He probably wants to do another one, but the studio is taking its time weighing its options on how best to keep the franchise going. I liked SR and wouldn't mind Singer doing another one with a more powerful adversary and lots of action.But that means they have to continue the extra baggage of the kid and Supes and Lois more strained relationship.

The more viable option is to slightly reboot and go back to the No Kid/Supes & Lois still flirting/Clark a more mild mannered guy and not a complete nerd set-up that has been the standard for 40 or 50 years. It's the way most of the public thinks of them.

Mark Millar's idea of a trilogy showing the beginning, middle, and end of Superman's life doesn't sound like a good idea for a continuing run of movies, IMHO.

What to do? What to do...?

Count me among the faction that feels that Singer's jump to Superman ruined 2 franchises. Superman Returns was lame, weak, pathetic and uninspired and X-Men Disassembled was even worse. Singer should have stayed with his vision for the X-Men franchise.

Anyway, I have no interest what-so-ever in seeing another Brandon Routh movie. I'd rather seen a big screen Smallville movie than another from the franchise as it is now. At least Tom Welling has some ability to show emotional range. Routh has less range than Neo...er...I mean Klaatu Reeves.

       I'm not heartbroken either that they may go in a different creative direction with the Superman franchise.  Superman Returns was just OK.  I loved the special effects and it had some good moments but it was too derivative of the 70s/80s Christopher Reeve pictures.  I think Brandon Routh was chosen simply for his incredible ability to channel the spirit, mannerisms and speech patterns of Christopher Reeve.  I'd be much happier, like JBBUC, to see a reboot of the character with Tom Welling involved.

I think Tom Welling is just as bad as Routh...What about getting a real actor like the guy from No Country For Old Men...Brolin? Bulk him up and strap a cape on his back. Maybe even Gerard Butler. Just keep Singer far, far away.

Singer must have been trashed when he answered, or about to cry.

Hellboy 2 excellent? I thought it was a boring and repetitive piece of tripe. The first one had a story and a plot this one well....it just sucked.

I feel that Warners won't let Singer anywhere near a SR sequal. I think they'll wait a couple more years then do a total reboot ignoring everything Singer did. Much like Marvel/Universal did with the Hulk. Moreover I think that Singer knows this hence his apparent emotional response.

  I'm not here to bash on Singer. I think he did a good job on the film.The concept of the film is where I had a problems. If they was going for the old Christopher reeves / Gene Hackman Superman, they did their job. When comic books transfer over to films, they tend to grab a certain audience. They went for the love story. What Superman needs is a super villain. There are two  that comes to mind. One would be the Parasite.Get Ra;ymond Maxwell Jensen to work for S.T.A.R. Labs. Have him steal the canister that holds materials that Superman collected during his space travels.He opens it and gets infectected with the materials, cuasing his skin to turn purple , and giving him the abilities to obsorb energy. Although he's a low life, he's a family man. Now that he's changed, something could happen when he ties to embrace a family member,Something goes  wrong. Not being able to have any physical contact eith his family drives him mad. He finds out that it was Superman who collected the materials and he wants revenge on Superman. Since they went with  Superman having a child with  Ms. Lane, the Parasite can seek out revenge through Superman's bond with Lois. He can even go after the child, not even knowing that he;s the son of his enemy.Sup's can either out right beat him or you can have Superman getting beaten, only to be saved by Lex Luthor.We all know that Lex feels that Superman's death is his right.

   The other villain I thought about was Solomon Grundy.  I would go with the Earth 2 version, Cyrus Gold. Before even going into the Superman story, start with Grundy's origin. Set it back 50 years when he was murdered and thrown into Slaughter Swamp. I;m not going to go on with his origin,but you understand what I'm Saying? They need good vaillains to bring this movie to Superman status.The script definitely needs to be solid.I'm not sure if Solomon's properties inside him is some form of magic. It would be a good weakness to battle against. If push comes to shove, throw Dr. Fate in for a cameo to help defeat Grundy.There are a few DC characters that i would like to see come to film.

 Singer was a horrible choice. He was a fanboy of superman and yet so screwed up the mythology it made me laugh!!

   His storyline choices were poor and just didn't work. DC needs to do what Marvel did. take control and make a real comicbook movie about supes!

  Personally, the doomsday storyline would translate well for the screen. It has action, emoition, heroics and suspense. And finally a foe who might acually destroy superman.
