Great-- can't wait.
I'd also like to see it be able to tie into Superman Returns.
I totally disagree. Superman Returns was an empty, soulless, plagaristic, sloppy wet kiss on Donner/Lester that recycled and outright stole from Superman I and II, and squandered what could've been a great flick on Singer's obvious hard-on for the old stuff mixed with special effects that were ironically used to little effect. From the music, font (which sadly wasn't used on the generic-ass poster logos), and actual lines of dialogue, it was less a follow-up to those movies as a half-ass homage-slash-rehash.
Not to mention, riddled with irksome elements: If it's 5 years after the events of the old movie, why isn't everyone in '80's clothes, and why are there cellphones and laptops? (seems like he was gone for *25* years) Why would Superman take 5 years to find his homeland, when, since he's *Superman* and all, it couldn't possibly have required that long (he was really brooding like Batman for 5 years)? Why is the child Clark wearing glasses when he doesn't need them as an alter ego yet (other than to remind the clueless audience that yes, that's Clark)? Why would anyone try to shoot Superman with a gun at this point in history, when average joe villain is more than aware that he exists and is bulletproof (other than to showcase the pretty-but-pointless eyeball effects shot)? Why do we need to see Superman get violently beaten to a pulp like a Scorsese film? Why is Superman's kid asthmatic? How is Lex going to build some sort of profitable city to sell land on, if the land is made of jagged molten rock? Why does Supes strike a Christ pose more often than Scott Stapp in a Creed video? Why does Parker Posey's character exist other than to duplicate the equally irrelevant Miss Tessmacher from the old flicks? (there's that Donner/Lester hard-on again) Why is Brandon Routh's performance so wooden? Why is Lois' character not remotely a feisty newspaper woman, and some cold, humorless wench? And what the hell was up with the cannibal dog?
I wasn't a huge fan of the better but still massively flawed Batman Begins, but at least it didn't use Elfman's music, and have anyone say, "Where does he get those wonderful toys" again or whatever.
