Singer stated in an interview that he was not a fan of superman as a child, therefore the movie sucked. He then stated on the bonus disk interview of x men that he also wasnt a fan of that either, and that movie sucked, so why give this idiot another opportunity to ruin it alll over again. I mean, now hes opening up a whole new pile of crap with having superboy in the mix. That is so stupid! how can you ever recover the franchise from some stupid story line like superman returns. Just give the directing to a real fan of superman who knows what they are doing. Start from scratch!

Superman Returns was and is an outstanding movie. The original Reeves 'Superman' was fantastic but after that it started getting silly with the exception of the superb III starring Richard Pryor. Great fun.
However, Returns is in a different league. The acting, music, direction, and even the action sequences turn it from 'comic book' to 'classic'.
Sure, we'd love a bit more action because there's the male crowd out there with a thirst for blood, but it's so rare to get an action film with a decent plot these days.
'over nostalgic bummer' - what a load of claptrap. Outstanding movie with sensitivity, quality acting and the best comeback of all time.

He did a good job on x-men but blew superman. He made superman look emotionally weak and superman at most points seemed like a sad lonely stalker.

Superman returns should have been the most straight forward film to write,they made a mistake, firstly lois who can get over superman NO-ONE we should have come back to her as single no child, strong at work but out side an emoyional mess, this artical the world is better without superman[crazy] look at the real world! x-men changed super hero movies and brought thm into the real world. of course the world needs superman , look at 9/11 and all the problems the world needs a icon to look to for truth and justice.

Get tom Welling to finish season 9 take a year to buff up big time, make the movie , put in the toymaker, brainiac, why not even get clark kent interviewing christen bale as bruce wayne. to spark up the film.

u read it singer believes a movie is only as good as how much money it makes not on satisfying the fans that first sentence only made me decide to boycott all byran singer movies

Truth, Justice, and the American Way! Make anything else and you can keep your Superman and, I’ll keep mine!

One more thing. Superman is supposed to stand for truth justice blah blah blah the ultimate boy scout. When you read a superman comic you get the feeling that this superman is just too good to be true because he won't even lie. Well due to the last movie... Now don't argue just think about it for a sec Superman leaves earth to see if krypton is still there. Meanwhile back on earth Lois gave birth to his child and went a few years alone as a single mother. Later hooking up with another guy. This concept leaves the veiwer with the impression that Superman is a deadbeat dad. Nice going Warner brothers. Maybe they should just let marvel take over the project. I doubt they would let us down afterall they're fans of superman too and they would probabbly take it as an honor. I would also take it as an honor because I would have a little assurance that the next installment will be that epic game changing movie. Please brighten his suit up. I have no idea why his suit is dark. Tim Burton himself wouldn't have darkened supermans suit. I'm praying for that epic history making superman movie. Maybe I will live to see it.

i don't think it was their intention to make him look like a dead beat dad. i didn't get that impression at all. he didn't know he was untill the very end. i do agree about the suit tho. it is too dark. not too sure about all the s's everywere too. on the boots and belt. but that's just me.

And yes I basically typed the same thing twice because I'm twice as pissed off about the issue

Brian singer needs to be dropped from the project. The last movie was such a dissapointment. The new generation superhero fans are more into the movies than he comics. Another dud and people will start to forget about superman. Superman is the most famous superhero of all time so he deserves a blockbuster action packed game changer for a movie. The next movie better blow transformers outta the water. Seriously if you are a true superman fan then you know I'm telling the truth. And did somebody forget somewhere down the line that supe can't have kids with a human. What the f. All the supervillans in the DC universe and they picked lex. Not coporate lex but evil mad scientist lex. Nobody remembers lex as the mad scientist. When I think of lex Luther I think of the multibillion dollar conglomerate squaring of against supe. Mr president squaring of against supe and getting away with it because he can afford to. But what about all the others Darkseid LOBO doomsday shall I go on. With the technology we have today there is no excuse why this movie isn't already made. The last one was totally unacceptable. Nobody wants to see a lame as wannabe remake of the first classic turned love affair. We want to see on the big screen what we all read in the comics for so many years... Superman getting the job done in as most action packed as possible. Nobody cares about the world without a superman because it still is the world without a superman because superman returns was a super dud. How the f does spiderman have better movies than superman explain that.

Superman returns was a super dud. I'm a fan of superman and I was very dissapointed watching the last movie. The movie itself in my opinion was totally unacceptable. Superman is the most famous superhero of all time. With the technology we have today there is no excuse why that movie wasn't as badass as transformers. I refuse to accept that that storyline was worth making a movie out of. By the way did we somewhere down the line forget that superman can't have kids with an earthling. Are you serious a kid with Lois and just skip the wedding COME ON! All the supervillans in he DC universe and they use lex again. Not corporate lex but evil mad scientist lex which no one remebers. It was like a remake of superman 1. I hope that Warner/ DC make up for the last excuse of an epic and the time we had to wait after quest for peace to watch that crap. They have to make a game changer with the next superman installment or people are going to forget the man of steel. The new generation of superhero fans are more involded with the movies not the comics. Warner you need to make he nex superman a gam changer.

If The X-men can b taken from year one then so could have Superman. Jus sayin, it made more sense to approch it from there, rather than trying to bring him back and have him answer to Lois. Was any one else bothered by the child? Why a child with all that entails? Lets remreber that Clark gave up his powers at the time the child was concieved. Hmmm mmmm

the superman series has always been what a lot of people like to see at the movies, i've just watched superman returns for the third time and still enjoy it.to do another part of the superman series, with the hint of superman being a father,reny will fill the movie theaters even more then ever.

I would say make the emblem alot bigger and bring the red and blue back to it's original state and the yellow emblem in the back of thed cape but keep the new belt the same and the cape a little thicker like way out kind of and finally make death and return of Superman the movie based off the snes game and further the most put tom welling in the suit cause he looks like him and plus goes along with the other past characters, especially he looks like superman aka. christopher reeves or if not death and return at least make some action scenes look real and have speacial effects and make his glow when he uses his laser vision that supposed be red because superman returns laser looks fake like he didn't even use it and all his abilities, thats why bryan singer sucked at it. and if he would've waited things could've been right. just batman begins and dark knight was ruined.

Not enough action? how bout the action in it, other than the Airplane scene, sucked!! But even that wasn't why the movie got bad reviews...how about a plot for the sequel!!!..... Crystallized real estate??? LAME!!!

The only reason Returns did good at the box office is because it may have been the most anticipated movie of all time.....And then the big let down.
How about not bragging about the sequel and getting our hopes up Mr Singer? Put out a decent trailer and let us watch the movie thinking it will be a good, and Awe us in the Theatre. Then the viewer can brag about your sequel.

you're retarded. it was a good movie that had all the things in it that were great about the original. get your head out of your ass and go watch the gilmore girls or something.

I think Bryan is the perfect person to helm the next Superman movie, let him finish what he started. I don't think anyone else could do a job as good as him. He does after all know what he is talking about, and he is a comic book fan. Not only that he is a fan of Superman.____I only wish SR writers Dougherty and Harris could have the chance to show off their skills, they are extremely taleted guys, who could create a kick ass Superman. Everyone is always so down on them for SR, but i loved it, the movie was bril. They did extremely well to re-introduce the world to Superman. Actually, i think every single person who worked on the movie was brilliant, they worked so hard. Superman Returns went down as my favourite movie ever the first night i saw it.____BTW...For all those who say females only went to see SR because of how good looking Brandon and James are. Well they are completely wrong, yeah BJ and James are hot, but some females are actually Comic Book fans. Females like me, to be exact.

Excellent Movie! All haters shut it!!!

Superman returns SUCKED, It SUCKED bottom line. If youre gonna make a movie about a guy w/ super human strength and the ability to fly and all the other powers superman posses and add the fact that we had not seen a superman movie in over 20 years how the hell do you bring superman back w/ a crappy love movie that makes superman look like a dead beat dad who let cyclops take care of his own kid.

I agree with Singer he did reintrouduced the characters in a new setting. Since the stroyline has been played out I think he should put in a supervillian for a sequel. Like Brainiac or Bizzaro maybe even Darkseid.

I'd like to see eventually the son turning wicked and against the man of steel. Although it wouldn't fit the story that "live my life through your eyes", it would be interesting. Also, there is a lot of movies where people have to read between the lines, and not many here have acknowledged that. Such as the rooftop gallock gun scene, where Superman hears a bell. It shows atleast 3 minutes of what is occuring on ground before Superman shoots off to intercept the violence. and I couldn't be more satisfied with the graphics, if you ask me they've done a great job being realistic. The first action scene with the plane, how Lois would be slung one way, or how the plane would crumble when Superman forces it to stop, how many know the plane only reason of spinning was its wings? There is several things needing to be read in this movie, and I enjoyed it. and yes, Doomsday or Brainiac, where a world wide war of good and evil breaks out would be entertaining. I like when grave danger is involved for more than just a city and the hero realistically saves the entire world.

Justa Thought

im a huge superman fan and ive gotta say that singer got it wrong the whole love triangle, and supermans son thing was boring i hope the sequel is something along the lines of the death of superman comics where superman fights doomsday the effects on that would be amazing plus its a great story obviously singer could change it a bit but it was the best selling triolgy of comics and i feel would be a great movie forget lex luther lets have doomsday this massive creature of destruction going at it with the man of steel. Lets see superman have to do a bit of work get smashed up a bit and then come back and kick ass hell isnt that why people loved superman 2 and i mean the donner version where jor el gives kent his powers back not his mother as shown in the oridginal movie. Come on singer superman deserves a smash mouth movie a bit of blood sweat and tears. SUPERMAN Vs DOOMSDAY it just screams an awesome movie to me.

Almost everyone was miscast in Superman Returns. Brandon Routh did a fine job, but come on...Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane = LAME. The whole movie stank of tongue in cheek humor. Superman should be EPIC...GRAND...THE ICON OF TRUTH, JUSTICE, AND THE AMERICAN WAY...this movie felt more like a theme park show than any thing else.

I was a huge superman fan until this movie came out, same ol story. Big superhero versus, what a shocker Lex Luthor!, come on!..do the whole story over again.
I wont bother with new movie, superman returns was the worst damn superhero movie ever!!!

the only way to redeem from SR is to make Doomsday 2 hrs of pain and destruction would make up for it.

Everyone keeps whining about the Superman Returns, I LOVED the movie. I think Singer is brilliant in his character developments. When you care about the characters it makes for a better movie. Superman returns was a fantastic come back, it established the characters, and introduced them to some people who weren't overly familar with the character. I am super glad that Warner Bros. didn't try to re-vamp it like that festering turd that was the 08 HULK. I can't wait to see the new movie, and NO I am not a teenage girl.

yes because smallville really follows the superman canon

Is that why they all made so much money? Singer got the ball rolling on great comic book films.

So you speak for all of womankind that must be a big responsibility.

I thought SR was ok. I mean if you're trying to continue from the original movies that were made decades ago, you're not going to get the same film. It just didn't feel the same. I really enjoyed watching Christopher Reeve's portryal of the man of steel. Even though it was a bit campy, I guess I can't see anyone else as Superman. For what Bryan had to live up to, I think he tried his best. All in all, It should have just been a different movie series all together and not a continuation of the originals.
A bit more action with someone that can dish it out (DOOMSDAY, BEZARO) would be cool to see as well.

add some action and fighting to the movie. in superman return all he did was lift heavy crap.

OK so you want to make a GREAT Supes movie. No LEX or very very very little of him. Start the movie with doomsday landing and with in the first 10 mintues have them fight! killing Supes. heres a good get up have Bruce Wayne show up at the funeral ahem cough, cough a set for a future movie. Do the whole bringing him back thing setup a villian like Darksied. Lol do something this is superman you can slap him with a tank and he'll take it make me darker more flying do it right this is the GREATEST super hero of all time and a batman movie out shined come on Waner Bros set it up. the fans are mostly males lol yes women like romance but they dont mind a lil actions either so don't be afraid to leave out the romance. Watch a cartoon get an idea read a comic jsut dont murder this movie or you wont have anyone to watch the next one.

Why did superman have a kid? Was no one else bothered by this?

Make the Smallville series on the big screen and have Welling as Superman. He does a way better job. Upgrade his costume to what the future Justice League one looks like. Way cooler. Time to upgrade.

bryan make it dark

P.S. - M. Bison is right about the bright, vivid colors and the S on the cape. The oval belt buckle is authentic, too. That was my only complaint about Superman Returns.

I loved Superman Returns and believe that Superman: The Man Of Steel will do equally well, if not better. I am *SO* tired of reading critics who are never satisfied with anything, and who want to change the character we love into someone we cannot recognize. Singer rules as a creator of great films, and will easily rake in another $400,000,000 or more on the next film. I hope he introduces Brainiac, but in any case I CANNOT WAIT!

i really didnt think Returns was that bad. yea it was a little long and boring. wut a superman movie seriously needs is a villian...and no not Luthor. but somebody just as strong as superman so there can actually be a good fight...not luthor with a bomb and kryptonite..blah blah.

ABC, I think Bryan Singer with the help of JJ.Abrams and Mark Millar will make Superman the way we saw him through Christopher Reeve in the early films. In Superman Man of Steel Superman should have the bright red, yellow and blue colors with the yellow S symbol on his cool red cape. Keep the new S shield style I like that model from Chris Reeve's from 1978 to 1987.

Hey, ABC, Check Superman out in MK VS DC and DC Online Universe.

Now that we know that Singer will be in charge of the sequel, there is nothing us fans could do about, no matter how much we complain. With that said I certainly hope they fix the film’s music or bring John Williams back to do the film’s score. The score kept starting or ending at all the wrong places and sounded like somebody just randomly played bits and pieces of the first Superman film’s soundtrack!

Also, what’s with the maroon and blue colored Superman suit? This color combination reminds me of the evil Superman in Superman 3! The new ‘S’ logo oh his chest was great, but not the colors. Superman needs to have the bright red and blue colors to make him look more iconic and still look ‘cool’ at the same time. I really hope Singer can figure this out!

I was disappointed by 'Superman Returns', but I'll give Singer another shot with the sequel, with hopes that it'll be more in line with the first couple Superman films, from which it seemed like there was a marked break in continuity (primarily in casting actors who all seemed younger than the previous ones.)

Erik. What you don't realize my friend is Superman Returns was an epic film, I would put Spiderman 3 in the same category but, Venom was disgraced at the end of the film, but anyway Spiderman 3 was an A+ with Symbiote Spiderman taking up most of the story in the film. Anyway, although, Superman Returns was a minor disappointment it was nothing like that travesty XMEN: The Last Stand What was Brett Ratner thinking when he turned the XMEN into a live action stunt show to show the film viewers. Superman Returns looked and felt like Richard Donner's first two films and if Bryan Singer returns or not, Superman: Man of Steel will be superior in epic format than the 2006 blockbuster. Erik, if you look at Superman Returns as an imaginative and creative comic book film you will be excited about it. If, you are looking at it like a fist fighting film then you will be disappointed. Sure, Superman should knocked Lex Luthor's lights out but, let's be serious Lex Luthor would get killed immediately if he was to fight Superman at full strength. Great, to see that he has a suit like Metallo except it is Green and Blue and it is powered up from the different Kryptonite mineral stones.

Erik, trust me man Superman starting in 2011 will be more based from the Superman Comic books JJ. Abrams and Mark Millar may take charge on Superman this time. JJ. Abrams by the way was rumored to direct the Superman film that Bryan Singer did in 2006, but I guess Warner Brothers didn't want him. They, may have made a mistake this time. I was impressed with JJ. Abrams producing monster film project Cloverfield this year it was intense. Next year in 2009, JJ. Abrams will be directing Star Trek XI the 21st film in the Star Trek series. It is a reboot from the last installments. Leonard Nimoy who you know played, Spock will be returning with Zachary Quinto playing him as a younger person. Other stars that will be in the film are Winona Ryder who will play Spock's mother and Eric Bana from Ang Lee's 2003 blockbuster film, Hulk will play a villain in the film.

There were rumors on youtube.com that William Fichtner who played, a bank employee in The Dark Knight this year would possibly be playing Brainiac in Superman: Man of Steel. There were trailers and videos of him on the site I hope they cast him he would make a great Brainiac in the film. Metallo, was also mentioned who may play I am not certain yet. But, in Smallville Season 8 the actor Sam Wilber I think that is his last name will be playing Doomsday in the series can't wait to see that Tom Welling will definitely be wearing the blue, red and yellow outfit finally. I saw a scene when the show came on with him dressed up as Clark Kent News Reporter and Journalist at The Daily Planet. reminds you of Christopher Reeve, Dean Cain and Brandon Routh doesn't it.

Erik, I just want you to appreciate films as they are don't be so negative minded and bad mouth films so much. negative attitudes and emotions destroy you from the inside if also affects your health. Jesus wants you to be more kindhearted, gentle and practice meekness and patience with others.

God Bless You, Erik

Keep staying true to Superman

I am a fan for life.

Oh check out Superman in Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe
and DC Univer Online Supes looks cool in both games.

Batman will appear in four games MK VS DC Universe, DC UNiverse Online, The Dark Knight and in next year's Batman Arkham Asylum cool man.!!!

Kevin

You are all kidding yourselves. The reason why superman returns did not do good, was because they need to scrap what they have so far and start over. The new generation of superman fans are all stuck on shows like smallville because it actually tries to explain the story from the beginning. Sure cristopher reeves did a good job, but honestly what kid today wants to watch an obsolete action film superman I - IV just to get where they can understand what is going on. I know i dont ever say to myself, "Hey I think im going to watch a film from the 70s for the action and graphics," because the graphics suck, and our society has changed too much to relate to it.

Superman is my favorite fictional character and I follow every thing I can find that deals with him. I thought George Reeves was a good Superman. I thought Christopher Reeves was a good Superman. I thought Dean Cain was a good Superman and I think Tom Welling is a good Superman. But if you ask me I think Brandon Routh is Superman. Other portrayals of the man of steel satisfies my imagination. Routh's portrayal satisfies my heart too.

Wow some ppl just dont appreciate a good movie when they see one. Superman returns did everything (in my opinion) to justify superman. He returns from krypton and sees louis, his love, trys to win her back and finds out he has a son too. Even tho there wasnt alot of action, what was everyone exspecting? Doomsday to just show up? Superman Returns was the 5th installment of the superman series and now that its out of the way and everything is in place, this next superman should be one for the record books. If we can watch Spiderman turn goth and do a dance number then i think its ok for the MAN OF STEEL to fall in love, basically remove a whole island and throw it into space, (which by the way was made of kryptonite if i do recall) and almost die. Superman Returns was a success and i cant wait for the next one to rock!

In "Returns" I never saw superman. I only saw some guy in a cape constantly on the verge of death. Even in the first seen showing the man of steel. There was no action. Superman doesent fight he saves apparently (spiderman fights). We all wanted to see action and got nothing. "Returns" was a super flop and the directors should stop before thay truly turn the "man of steel" into "man of Styrofoam".

I thought Superman Returns was a superb film, it connected right into the story that everybody saw in the 70's, and gave it the chance to become popular again. The CGI was not that bad, I could handle it, and everybody who calls it a mushy love story has no idea about the comic books! Superman and Lois Lane had a fling going on in the movie, which was taken right out of the comic books, those who have read them will understand. The film very accurately depicted the comic book Superman, as well as his nemesis Lex Luthor, played by Kevin Spacey, who did a great job being a ruthless villain. The public didn't like the film because they never read the comics and have their own preconceptions of who Superman is supposed to be, rather than the die hard readers such as myself who were very satisfied with Singers accurate depiction of the Man of Steel...

Daniel, Superman Returns was that bad look at with imaginatiion and creativity. SR did receive 10 Golden Globe Nominations So it wasn't as dissappointing as you think it was the finest superhero film of 2006. Batman Begins was Oscar material as well in 2005, and The Dark Knight which is playing right now will make the Academy Awards and Aaron Eckhart and the late great Heath Ledger will possibly receive Oscars for their portrayals of Harvey Two-Face and Jack Napier/The Joker. Also, if you want to rag on Superman Returns so much look at Spiderman 3 whic came out a year later in 2007 it was a major dissappointment but still made a hole in the box office grossing list. TDK, made an even major hole bigger than SM3 at the box office. Superman Man of Steel will over majorally clobber the Spiderman films as well because he will be revamped in 2011. Batman 3 will be out that year I read it at Ign.com. Daniel are you ready for Watchmen next year and the Animated Wonder Woman movie?

superman is the first greatest super hero but that movie killed him
if u want success this time around with the sequel to superman returns dont let anyone from the first one touch or be involed with the second one watching that movie is torture

Oh an what is up with Lois? Why is she going to marry someone else? They are THE comic couple. They had a TV show named after them. And who is this kid? Let us get back to the basics, and began to follow the comics, not what Hollywood thinks is necessary.
I have heard that the new movie was supposed to make Superman more able to be related to. But is that what Superman is supposed to do? Or is he supposed to be something to strive for?
