Superman: Man of Steel

This why the DC Universe will never see the same expansion in film as Marvel.

SUPERMAN RETURNS was pitch-perfect. Whereas BATMAN BEGINS could never play off of the other Bat-films because of their suckiness, SUPERMAN RETURNS realized how Donner's SUPERMAN could never be overcome.

I don't know what Millar is saying about Supes being 'Brand Toxic', that's just flippin' ignorant.

BATMAN BEGINS made $205 million gross in 2005, and $371 worldwide with a budget of $150 million. In 2006, SUPERMAN RETURNS made $200 million; $391 worldwide with a budget of $270 million.

So where is the $200 million lost? This guy talks out his ass. Was SUPES as successful, no...but not by much. So BATMAN made $100 million more than Superman. Both films made money. So what.

UPDATE! Sadly, Mark's pitch didn't make it. He updated the situation recently with an explanation as to why he actually wasn't allowed to get the job. The issue is that he's associated with Marvel at the moment and Warner Brothers just won't let him work on a DC project.

yet he's a producer on smallville, on the wb... or is that not him?

oh, and also: **** **** ************* ****

I thought routh,spacey,and singer did great. Unfornutlay the most exciting part of the film was the plane crashing.

But you know if the next one is really good (assuming its with the same team), this one will be excepted better.

But sfx have come so far, THE WORLD IS SERIOUSLY DUE TO SEE A SUPERMAN VISUAL SPECTACLE

After seeing Nolan's TDK, Singer or whoever directs the next Superman movie needs to take him up a notch.

Variety's Anne Thompson reports that Superman: Man of Steel is in a holding pattern at Warner Bros. Pictures as the studio figures out what to do next. Here's a clip:

They too believe that the last movie didn't break the mold and wound up in some kind of middle limbo. Today I was told that it is a priority at the studio to find the right direction and if Bryan Singer is willing to do that, fine, but if he gets in the way, he may not stay on the project. There are no writers working on a Superman script now. The studio wants to figure it out. "It might be better to start from scratch," one exec admitted.

Keep in mind that only half of film grosses return to the studio. The other half is kept by theatre owners & managers. SUPERMAN RETURNS lost out in the short term due to its greatly inflated budget. Only after DVD sales & rentals plus other ancillaries will it get profitable. The head at Warner Bros. was being diplomatic by saying he expected at least $500 million worldwide for the film.

its tough to decide which is the lesser of two evils...

i want to see the reimagining, the one thats more in line with the actual comics...

😂 I guess me not being a fan of comic Supes helps. I was expecting Supes in SR to shave his head, grow a mustache, wear a leopard print one strapped singlet & start doing squat thrusts.
