benes, Superman Returns was the end of the franchise for many years. With Nolan producing I do think that this film has a shot. I like Snyder and believe he has the chops to pull this off. Nolan and his brother are involved with the scripting and word is that so far it is all coming together.
That I'm not too excited about. I guess they felt that since another Supes movie had Zod in it, movie goers would already know who he was. Doomsday would have made for a much better movie.

So lets recap. First we get some Warner exec telling us the next Superman is going to be dark and brooding because according to Dork Knight this is what fans want to see. Then we learn Nolan is helming the project. And now this. So yeah this is pretty much the end of the Superman franchise for the near future.
All the negativity surrounding this makes no sense to me, and not just because Nolan's behind it (which should be more than enough to deter any such blind pessimism).
Zack Snyder proved with his surprisingly-good Dawn of the Dead remake that he could deliver tension, suspense, and wrap some convincing drama around it. He also showed he was great even without a green screen.
He proved with 300 that he could deliver exceptional visuals and "epic" action.
He proved with Watchmen that he could respectfully and passionately adapt a highly regarded pre-existing source material, and the he could handle characters as well as he handles visuals and suspense or mood.
Now, he's not perfect...but I'll be damned if hes not one of the best choices for this franchise. And with Christopher Nolan behind him and this project... I dont see how anyone could be anything less than optimistic and excited.

That's one of the problems..they never took the character any farther. He seemed to always fight the same foe, his mannerism and abilities were limited, the stories were lame, and then they threw in the fact he's a baby-daddy..please

They had a very good doc on the Superman boxset. That explained most of the problems with the Superman movies. Basicly everything went wrong after they fired Donner.
Superman returns was a nice attempt to go back to Donners "style". But didnt get the right mix between seriousness,suspense and charm.
