I just really think we need Superman done properly.


It boggles my mind that they just have never gotten Superman right on screen. It makes no sense whatsoever.

But I think if done right it would be great.

I agree. Superman is a pretty easy character. Unlike Batman, he's not very complex. So what you do is make the world around him complex and that is where they have failed.

Superman Returns was boring and vanilla, so they overreacted with Man of Steel. MoS was too brutal so they tried to correct it with BvS. The subplot of BvS was one I've been hoping for for decades. How would the world react to a Superbeing showing up and saving the day all the time. Some people would hate him. Others would worship him. How would governments react to him? Would they ban him or use him as a crutch? That's a fascinating storyline that was never used before that deserves to be fleshed out. Unfortunately, it got wasted on BvS.

IMO, they need to bring back the Donner version of Superman, Williams theme and all...of course do it with someone with better screen chops than Brandon Routh.
