I was never really a Huge fan of Superman in any incarnation, he was always too powerful for me. That’s why I enjoyed Superman: Doomsday if only for the method in which he died, no kryptonite weapon or other mystical or overly sci-fi device, just some good old fashioned pummelling (despite him coming back later).

But really, how interesting can a character be when his main story is about fighting crime and yet he’s virtually indestructible, bullet proof, can fly, has lasers in his eyes… the list goes on. The only way to kill him is via radioactive bits of his homeworld, which, lets be honest here, if Superan were a villain, we could let them get away with such sloppy writing, but he’s the hero and yet they want me to care about a character that’s about as immortal as Wile-E Coyote.

LUCAS directing Superman? That is a BAD BAD BAD idea to whomever wrote that!! We’d have Lex Luthor telling Lois that he’s her father and Jimmy Olsen would have a Jamaican accent and the actors would all act like they’re wooden statues! NO NO NO!! Peter Jackson, on the other hand, is a VERY good idea!! I think he’d finally give Superman the treatment it hasn’t had since Superman 2.
