SR Writers Not Returning for Next SUPERMAN

This can only be a good thing

yeah I guess I agree. they are partly to blame, however the real news story will come when Warner Brothers decides to stop playing games and have a real villain for Superman to fight....not just Lex Luthor...again.

I can't understand why?..(chuckling softly)... that is truly a shame...(sarcastic smirk forming)... Superman returns was soooo gooood, they will be missed...(falls out of chair laughing).
Actually, I didn't HATE SR.... but I definately wasn't in love either.... bring on new writers, get Routh in a stage production of Oklahoma where he belongs, and give us the Supes/villain we have all been waiting for since we were kids... to be honest that mess was not Singers fault, he just directed the crap that was on the page, he chose the wrong story, give him a chance to fix that mistake.

I didn't mind Routh. I thought he did alright considering the material he had to work with. The story was just crap.

I didn't mind Superman Returns. Though, SR did drag in a "Phantom Menace" sort of way.

I will give kudos to Bryan Singer for going the Richard Donner route of staying with the continuity (sans Superman 3 & 4, as if non-existent). Nevertheless, Singer and the writers needed to reinvigorate the big blue's franchise, somehow, and retelling his origins, and demostrating his powers had to be done, one way or another...Yeah, the story was crap.

Bring on Brainiac! Please, no Zod!

Brainiac is the smart choice. I kinda thought Superman 3 should have been Brainiac. But comics have finally brought Brainiac into a nonlame non shortshort wearing uber baddass krypton computer. At least in the toon show anyway. Not sure about the comics. Writers of SR should have been flogged long ago for that piece of garbage of a movie. Michael Bay could have done better.

SR wasn't grreat,,,,it was kind of boring, but it was well written. There just wasn't enogh action in it. Also, I do agree that Lex Luthor is played out. Bring on some big villians. I think Routh was very good but wasn't a total fan of Bosworth as Lois Lane. Even though SR wasn't great, in my eyes the writers and Singers are excused because X2 is like the best comic book movie ever made.

I thought Superman Returns was an excellent film and Brandon Routh was the best Superman I have seen. Regarding the villain, the film wasn't about the villain but about Superman, just like Batman Begins where the film was about Batman and not the villains (instead of the 89 Batman where it was more about the Joker than about Batman).

now if we could only get a diff director also things might start looking up. Singer is good but after his take on Superman I'm ready to see someone else's vision of the character. As long as it isn't Ratner or McG of course.
If they stick with Singer then I'm hoping he pulls an X2 for his second take of Superman.

P.S. Christopher Reeve to me was the best Superman so far.

there are people who loved Howard the Duck. There are people who loved Phantom Menace, & there are people who loved Superman Returns. Nothing wrong with that.

Good or bad, Superman Returns was 2 things:
- It was NOT faithful to the source material
- It was just a photocopy of Donner's Superman

With all the development that has been going on in the Superman Returns project, it only proves that it has had a failure wherein which there is a great demand for a major overhaul. The outcry is far more greater than its fans would like to think.
