What's wrong with Hugh Jackman?

Personally I miss McG on this project because, stay with me now, he is a complete breath of fresh air and to simply get a next best thing to Reeve and try to continue on with the continuity seems to be a tad disrespectful.

I'd have rather seen the kind of vision that Abrams and McG were going to give us. The beauty of Superman is that he can be reinterpreted in many different ways while still keeping the core idea/ideals consistent.

A new Superman for a new age.

Instead we're going to get a warmed up rehash of old ideas lamely trying to attach themselves the the earlier flawed series.

They have confirmed the use of flashbacks and the use of the old series designs of Krypton and The Fortress Of Solitude. I do cheer at the ide of Terence Stamp reappearing as General Zod, which seems to be the plan but at the same time I'd rather see what a visualist like McG could bring to the table.

Singer is a good storyteller but he has no eye and McG does have a great eye he just needs a great writer and a great producer.

But Batman doesn't look like much chop either and I've read the script, it aint great.

For sure these films will be no great cinema the likes of Spider-man 1 & 2 or Blade II, but they may be better than Hulk (which I liked) and they have to be better than Punisher (either version) and Daredevil.
