So I hear that this new film will take place between either the first film (1978) and the second film (1980) or after the 2nd film. That sounds kind of dumb and lazy.

That's the first I've heard of the former. The latter is apparently the direction they're going with it, but Singer is adament the first two films are merely a "vauge history." Whatever that means...


Setting it inbetween the first two Reeve/Donner films is reportedly the reason why they cast 26 year old Brandon Routh, based on how close in age he was to Reeve at the time. And yet, they cast 22 year old Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane, and she's a good few years younger than Margot Kidder was then (not that I ever liked Kidder - Kidder always annoyed me). Also they failed to create a suit that matches what Reeve wore in those earlier films.

Warbler, I'm hoping and praying that this movie fails. Singer building it off of the Donner films is just lazy and uncreative, plus they belong to a different era. Chris Nolan didn't try to build off of the Tim Burton films for Batman Begins.
