He is so much a part of the DC Universe. Even Batman is related to him in a way. DC wanted a superhero to follow Superman's success and called upon Bob Kane to come up with a charcter that would match Superman. Bob Kane created The Batman. Hopefully Bob Kane's relatives will not follow suit in trying to steal Batman away from the fans. It would really suck if the Siegels took total control over the Superman charcter.

So, yay for lawsuits that kill off retarded franchises. But a Marvel Superman would be weird. Superman Returns was turd soup. So, yay for lawsuits that kill off retarded franchises.

Reboot the franchise, get Tom Welling and for once think of the fans before messing with something like Superman.

Many of the cool stuff about Sup-Returns is the stuff that dooms it. We really didn't need a sequel to Superman 2. It was great seeing the opening credits and hearing the music, but while the film was decent, it wasn't that fulfilling. Plus the liberties taken with the characters were ridiculous, and didn't match up with the Christopher Reeve films. Brandon Routh did an ok Chris Reeve impression, but didn't bring anything else to the character. His take on Superman/Clark Kent, was dull and lifeless. After the first half hour the effect of his impersonation of the Best Superman ever, wears thin. All in all he really didn't bring anything else to the character except, looking vaugely like a young Christopher Reeve, and doing a passable imitation of the late actoir's voice. Brian Singer should have done X3 and called it a day. If Superman Returns was Batman Begins, then we would probably be looking at a sequel by next year, instead of all this indecision.

Even though Superman Returns stunk for me, I looked forward to at least a reboot in a few years. Now, who knows if we'll ever get another movie with Superman in it? And really, how much of the DC universe is NOT connected to Superman in some way? How do they rip him out without disturbing everything else?
