Since the new Batman movies completely redeemed what had become a pretty campy franchise, we’ve been hearing about new reboots for super-hero flicks all over the place. Spiderman’s doing it (sadly without Wes Anderson on board), The Hulk did it (about a week after the first one came out), and (I know this isn’t a reboot, but I want to bring it up because it’s awesome) Michel Gondry is directing Seth Rogan in The Green Hornet.
So, when they decided to reboot Superman, which “will definitely not be a follow-up to Superman Returns,” they got good ol’ Christopher Nolan to come over and help (not write or direct) breathe some new life into perhaps the most iconic superhero of all time.
[There’s also a small segment in the article this links to about a third Batman, so read up.]
I’m excited by this news, but do you guys think Superman has the same potential as Batman to be re-imagined and re-packaged?
Even though I knew about this before, I still saw “Walken” instead of “Nolan” and got really, really excited.

Yes, same potential. However, it’s a very different story; different genre in some ways. Hopefully they’ll be respectful of Superman’s roots.

I think we’re all tired of seeing the origins of Superman. Most of all I think we’re tired of Lex Luthor as main villain.

Nope. If his only weakness is kryptonite, how is an audience supposed to relate to him? He will always be the worst superhero in my book.

I love everything Christopher Nolan has done, so maybe that will include Superman, who’s never been my favorite superhero.

Grant Morrison did a good job of making him interesting in his All Star Superman series. Other than that, I agree, he’s boring.

There are few of us who are done seeing Smallville Kent and would love to see suited up Superman. I just don’t want a ‘dark’ rendering.

*Thankly* without Wes Anderson on board. Superman — absolutely. Huge opportunity for better writing as in XMen, Spiderman, Batman.

perhaps…. superman is unbelievable and you can’t modernize and make it believable like batman. i think they should stick to the 50’s there.
