Superman is the problem. He sucks in every possible way!

Not true at all. Batman is my favorite comic book character,but superman is easily in my top 5.

I feel this is needed. You need to either reboot the franchise after... like 3 movies (Though this is 6)

OR the series needs to be less serialized and VERY self contained...

like for example the James Bond movies.


They shouldn't be afraid to repeat villains either.

I haven't seen Alice but I don't expect much. Avatar was just way too good. There's no way Alice can beat Avatar. There's just no way.

I really enjoyed The Dark Knight and thought that Batman Begins was fairly average; and (while many won’t agree with me) I thought Superman Returns was on par with Batman Begins. Personally, I don’t have high hopes that you could make a Superman movie that is on par with The Dark Knight primarily because The Dark Knight was one of those special movies where the villain was a far superior character than the hero; and while you (sort of) want the hero to succeed, you also love to watch the villain at play. I can't see something similar to this happening because most of Superman's villains reall super power is being super lame.

I've always thought that Lex Luthor was a far more compelling villian then even the joker... when done right.  For example look at Lex Luthor in the JLU cartoons.

A modern Lex Luthor using current day tactics to take out the man of steel yet staying legitamite I think would work REAL well if done right.

Luthor is too overdone. I'm pulling for Brainiac. Nolan went with Ra's in Batman Begins and I hope he uses another underutilized villain for Superman.

As long as he does a third Batman, then I'm fine with him making Superman. It's been dead for a while and needs someone to revive it.

Superman is one of the most empty characters ever in comics. His rogues gallery is joke. It's odd that he's been the symbol for comic books since forever, considering how poorly done everything about him and his history have been. I've read one great Superman story ever, and that's with reading most of the supposed best storylines they've done for him. If it's not going to be Superman: Red Son, then frankly I'm not interested. Unfortunately from Nolan and Goyer, there's nothing written for Superman that is equivalent to Batman: Year One for them to pull inspiration from. Most of Superman's better stories are either too complicated to tell properly (Death and Return, Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow) or are "Elseworlds" storylines that tell What If...? scenarios.

The thing with braniac is... he's cool in powers... boring in execution.  He wants to assimilate all knowledge of the planet, then destroy it... and he's a computer.  You'd need him working with someone at the very least.

Which is largely the problem with most superman villians.  They don't do the kind of plotting you need to get you through the movie BEFORE the big fight scene.

Darkseid maybe for example.
