If the movie hadn't sucked, I think we might have forgiven the rubber nipples eventually.

According to most of the people I know, the rubber nipples are the reason that the movie sucked.

SR is currently up to $178 million dollars.

From IMDB 7/26/2006 -

Director Bryan Singer has acknowledged that the less-than-stellar performance of Superman Returns has made prospects for another Man of Steel sequel a bit "iffy." The Associated Press quotes him as saying, "We haven't concluded a deal," but if a sequel gets a green light from Warner Bros, "the intention is to do it for [release in] 2009." Separately, Singer told Britain's Empire magazine, "Now that the character is established, I'd like to take the opportunity to bring in a more threatening element, a more terrible, foreboding element." Superman Returns, starring Kevin Spacey, Brandon Routh, and Kate Bosworth, has taken in $178 million at the domestic box office, below such other summer hits as The Da Vinci Code, X-Men: The Last Stand, Cars, and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.


Domestically or worldwide? What about merchandising? It'd be a shame if Singer's Superman isn't given a chance to grow. As he proved with X2, when he's given something to build upon Singer can really run with it. Ah well. Such is life, I suppose.
