Which way should the new Superman movie have gone?

The Superman film that could've been

This should give everyone a good idea of the different ways that the new Superman movie could've gone. First off there's a link to a webpage that gives a good and quick analysis of all the different directors offered or considered the Superman film and the path they could've taken it. After reading it I felt it's a pretty good and unbiased opinion on them.

And here's a link to the JJ Abrams Superman Script, the one that Warner's was seriously considering as the first part of a TRILOGY. Take a read at it and see for yourself.

And finally here's the infamous Kevin Smith / Jon Peter script that came SO CLOSE to being filmed. The one that was literally just a few weeks before filming before it was pulled at the last second. Take a read also and see for yourself.

The point of all this is to give everyone an idea of the Superman film that could've been, for better or for worse. (IMO Singer hit a homerun with Superman Returns and I can't wait for the next two sequels from him). So after you've read all of the information listed above feel free now to post what you now think should've been done, i.e. which specific route should've been gone with and vote for it too.

in all fairness singer is in the top tier of directors to do superman, he did a good job, the sequel sounds promising!

The link for the Abrams script wasnt' working, and I read the first 4 paragraphs of the Smith one, and got bored.

Indeed, it seems from the first link you posted (superman V) we got the best possible film.
