Christopher Nolan to Mentor New Superman Movie?

For me at the time, Burtons batman was great and it still is a good watch.
But i seriously think Superman needs to be rebooted like batman was. don't continue on after superman returns just do a complete reboot. and if they want they could still use Brandon Routh as clark and superman.

I dont.They should have left a Superman remake alone in the first place.Like I said,Batman Begins was a MUST because to that point,all the other Batman movies made were an insult to the comicbook and his character and the first two were all about the villains with Bats playing just a supporting character role so a reboot for THAT franchise was an absolute must!!!!!!!! Superman one and two were great films though so they should have just left Superman alone.

There's nothing wrong with the costume, and the one Christopher Reeve wore in the original film is proof of that. Any kind of alteration that's noticeable is a bad thing.

I just hope it doesn't end up like body armor.

It doesn't need to look like that. But there's always been a thing about Clark wearing the outfit under his suit, which we've always suspended belief about. Can they come up with a way to show where that cape plausibly goes?

i agree, they should have left it alone.

but now that they made superman returns (rather terribly might i add), they should definitely fix it with a newer one.

i have every confident in Nolan that he'll make this one the best since the first two (dated but classic) ones.

I want to see them make a film without resorting to kryptonite, for once. That should mean an adversary that doesn't need it.

I think Superman needs a Reboot bad.

Superman Returns just didn't do it for me. I'm sorry but as good as Superman 1 and 2 were they are done with and trying to recapture them with different actors, in a different timeline, with different staff just isn't working. They need to reboot so there are no continuity issues, or junk from the previous films bleeding through.

As for the Costume it just needs texture is all so it doesn't end up looking like body paint.

As for a villain I'm sorry but for the first movie I'm picking Lex Luther since it most likely will be an origin story. I would actually like to leave Darksied out of the movies. At some point in maybe the third movie bringing in Doomsday.

So for me

Superman 1: Origin, defining Superman, showing what he is and what makes him work. Villain: Lex

Superman 2: Whatever you want

Superman 3: Time for Superman to make the Ultimate sacrifice. Completely cut loose show us all why he is Superman because he never quits and is willing to sacrifice himself to save lives. Villain: Doomsday

NO MORE LEX!, Only you want him, the rest of us are sick of him.

Hes should only be a backup villian from now on and DS should be he villian for the next one. Or do a build then DS for this 3rd film.

Metallo should be in it and maybe one other.

If Noland can do a good job, and reboot the film completely then maybe we can finally see a justice league movie. which will IMO blow the avengers out of the water.

is the new movie with routh?

if not too bad , hes a good superman

I think a more realistic less silly endless powered Superman movie could be great.

Also maybe face a real villain, or at least not petty crook luthor.

I agree with this.

on THAT note come on Nolan,screw Superman,it already had two great Superman movies.No need to make another one.Screw Superman and redo spiderman since there hasnt been a good one of those films made yet or did justice to the comicbook. Dont think it will change next year with their reboot either the fact that its so soon that cant be good. Batman Begins was wisely done 8 years after they stopped making sequals.

I guess they feel spiderman needs it after the the last crappy film( they were all pretty bad IMO)
they did the same thing with the hulk and rebooted it after 4 years or so?

yes they Were ALL bad just like ALL the batman movies before Begins were ALL bad. 😄

That's good news, if it's true. I just watched Routh in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World - he's one of the best villainous evil exes. And he looks in great shape, with a few years adding maturity to his face. He'll look the part even better now.
