I dunno. The idea of Routh not doing Superman kind of leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I feel he’s a great actor, he just did’t have great material to work with. The script was lacking, and I think maybe everyone was just so excited by the idea of a new Superman movie that they didn’t really notice what the film was lacking.

I feel like he should get a chance to try his Superman again. Or else it’ll just be assumed by everyone that he was a bad Superman/Clark, which I don’t think is right.

I don’t mind Brian Singer not being involved. I think that’s for the best.

Oh boy… where to start. First, everybody’s talkin’ about the reboot, & I don’t see why there has to be one. I completely enjoyed Superman Returns. I thought it was an extraordinary piece of film-making, tying in the original Christopher Reeve (RIP) version to a new era with a talented actor (Brandon Routh) who along with the retro engineered John Williams scoring & miraculously preserved/edited cutting room segments of Marlon Brando/Jorel, as well as the solid story & incredible special effects, have made this a film for DC to be truly proud of. They chose a fantastic & proven director, & he followed through. Yet they want to wipe all that away like it was an “Oops, that’s not what we wanted.” All because the box-office take was supposedly less than they expected (although make no mistake, it was exceptional). And how do you keep the same actor if you’re going to “reboot” it? From what I’ve been reading, it looks like Brandon Routh will be staying, & I hope he does, but what does that mean for continuity? Am I suppose to regret buying the Superman Returns 2-Disc Special Edition for $25? Sheesh! (sigh) I really liked it, but that doesn’t seem to matter, I guess.

Atrocity?!! You don’t know the meaning of the word! After what Hal Jordan, the first human to be a Green Lantern went thru, expressing so much emotion time & time again, including the destruction of his home (& everyone he loved), & then being killed off by bored comic writers, & po’g countless readers, I’d say you don’t get to question his humanity. A mask isn’t going to make a flippin’ bit of difference. John Stewart (bah!). He came later on. He can wait his turn, just like the rest of the flunkies that followed.

And I’m of the group that believes you should give each individual franchise its initial development before you try to slap them together as a team, instead of doing a team first, then spinning off. Marvel is doing it right, so far. If DC is smart, they’ll do the same. Get Sup, Bats, WW, GL, Flash, Aquaman, & MM done separately before you try to build the team. Then you don’t have to spend half the movie trying to explain to mainstream audiences who the heck these people are. You can just dive in to the epic story for 2+ hrs.

Routh returning as Superman would make my century. I hope it all goes through and he is in GL.

Yes, I love Routh, he is an awesome Superman. I’d love to see him in the Green Lantern movie!!

OMG not this dude again! Branden Routh is going to make ANOTHER superman movie?! He sucked the first time around! He is not superman material! He doesnt look like Clark or Superman in any way to me.

When I look at him i think of Tom Cruise! He is not the right guy for the part! And Kevin Spacey certinly was not Lex Lutor in the first one with Routh! He was a horrible Lex Luthor! Gene Hackman is and always will be the best Lex Luthor, just as Christopher Reeve will be the only real Superman! He was the best God rest his soul!

John Stewart?? Really?? Have you read a comic book with him in it, or are you going from the Cartoon? John Stewart is the whiniest GL out there (other than maybe Guy Gardner), Hal Jordan is one of the greatest heroes in the SC universe. He has an amazing will and is stronger (emotionally) than almost anyone I have seen in a comic book.

Oh, and Vic, not to be nit-picky, but Alan Scott was the original Green Lantern. Although he was kind of boring until he became Sentinel. I mean, his ring was weak to wood…..blah!

I,m going to make a statement here that I hope history proves me wrong on. Warner Bros. and D. C. Comics will NEVER accomplish on screen what Marvel has done. I,m actually more of a D.C. fan but I just don,t see it happening.

Awesome news. Hope Routh makes an appearance in the new GL movie. And I hope Gosling can pull off Hal Jordon

Speaking of GREEN LANTERN, I’ll just throw a name out there…if I was casting: Danny McBride as Guy Gardner.

I disagree. I think having a John Stewart cameo at this point, when Hal is a young lantern(Gosling’s what, 30?) is unnecessary. But, this is all good news, as a new Superman film and a Green Lantern film established in same continuity might mean an actual Justice league movie, that doesn’t totally suck. I mean, these guys, and then toss in Bale? Yes please. Now we just need some capable actors tossed in at the other spots, like Flash and WW. This idea is growing on me.

I think a John Stwart cameo would work as long as it hints at him becoming a GL too.

Certainly, John Stewart can be in sequels.
He might even make a cameo in this film,
although probably not as a member of The Corps.

So K dizzy I guess that means you didn’t like either The Dark Knight, Iron Man or Spider-Man since they all wear masks?

I mean Hal Jordan is the original Green Lantern.

I think Gosling would make a great GL but I’d like to see a fresh start with Supes.
Routh did an ok job but overall I thought he was a dull Superman. I say give someone else a shot at becoming the big red S.

the fact that they are making a green lantern movie is awesome but it is an atrocity to make the lead hal jordan instead of john stewart you know THE BLACK GREEN LANTERN the onw who displays true human emotion. I mean its not a black or white thing its just he doesnt have a mask because he would rather let the world see him cry than let his tears hide behind a mask to me thats raw human emotion simply making him the better choice

At this point I just want to see Supes on screen again. I’m definetly FOR the re-boot, but I don’t don’t know if I can wait that long for it. Clark appearing in a Green Lantern movie might be enough to hold me over until 2012 as long as it’s a decent cameo & sets up the next Superman movie.

“MOS” still the title! Well I’m even more confident they don’t intend to do a dark “Superman” episode. I hope your right Jamie. Was talking with Kevin Anderson the other day and he’s definitely against “Superman” going dark.
