A “Superman Returns” sequel would be good. No need for a reboot.

@BJ

Leaving a comment that says nothing more than “Shut up” is rude. And jeez, don’t have such a thin skin.

Mr. Vic Holtreman, I have been respectful of your website for quite some time. People have said worst things on this site and YOU sir get on me for saying “Shut up”? Well if that’s the case consider this the last comment you’ll read from me. I will not return to this website. Good day.

Superman Doomsday was PG or PG13. Far cry from child’s cartoon.

Now let’s get past that and have a serious talk about how Superman should be released.Brandon Routh was a very big gamble. They Did a few things right with Superman Returns in it’s failure. They established his God like presence. He accidently played the last Clark Kent almost down to a T with the clumsy feel. The problem was the storyline was one that involved Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor. Although he was a perfect face for the character, that is all he was. Second, when the Movie was released Routh did not step up in the media to make us feel like he was something great for the role. Christian Bale does not have to do this seeing he is a arrogant pr*ck in real life. Even with all the things wrong for some odd reason I still see Brandon Routh becoming the perfect actor for the role once he steps up to the plate. I say ditch the chick because she made him look weak in the public eye and act like you have some f***ing balls. Routh is perfect he just needs to sell his self.

Let us get this straight once and for all. Superman is THE comic book character. Welling is in no way able to portray the qualities of a mature Superman. Superman does not throw a tractor across Smallville and turn around with a puzzled face. Tom welling is a careless Superman. He is the face of Superman right now only because his facial features compared to Christopher Reeves. Not because of his ability to act, because frankly he still acts like he is in a soap opera. Those who know the constant follow up of Superman through Wizard magazine may remember an issue they clearly had dedicated to the fact that Welling and Reeves had the same features. People who only know Smallville have no voice of opinion. Smallville is not a realistic portrayal of how Superman was.

I am a huge Superman fan. I do agree on some points of Mr. Williams. I dont think another Superman film will hit theatres for awhile. Tom Welling as The Man of Steel on the big screen? I can’t see it. I DO like “Smallville” but IMHO, i don’t feel Welling would fill the red boots. For television?…awesome. To smash box office records?… good luck. Superman can still be done right. I feel that there should be more creativity, originality and enthusiasm put in to the next film. A darker twist to Superman? Thats not his nature, however, Superman can STILL be conflicted and presented with issues which test his morales. As i stated before, if WB can put together a good team with some CREATIVE & ORIGINAL ideas, Superman will do well. The comics and graphic novels speak for themselves.

The sheer force of reaction that is received when something negative is stated about Welling not being a big screen Superman is part of the reason he is a poor choice! He’s polarizing. You have the smallville fanbase (lets be generous and say 4M, slightly lower than their higest ratings in the last year), and everyone else.

While an origins story seems odd to me, I do think things need a reboot of sorts and can’t see another way to go about it. And I have no issue with Routh either. I thought he did a fine job in a poor movie.

SR had very few good points like the whole Superman Dying part was great I loved laughing at the docs shocking him and breaking needles. But the whole idea of SR being Superman 3 in a sense picking up after 2 was just stupid the story didn’t fit and the script just UMM sucked Kevin Spacey is a great Actor and he did a great job with what he had. Say what you will about Smallville I love the show because it has it dark moments and I miss Lex in the show this year everyone who loves the show knows that Lex from smallville is the best he is swave, cool, smart,funny, Charming and EVIL it just works. I agree with my friends I would liek to see the Death of Superman and the Reign of Superman to start to develop. The character Changes extremly and it would be a new change. AND STOP MAKING CLARK KENT ACT LIKE A COMPLETE DORK, What worked in the 70s will not work now. SMALLVILLE IS NOW DEALING WITH DOOMSDAY SO I GUESS YOU MIGHT WANT TO LEAVE DOOMSDAY OUT OF THE STORY FOR THE MOVIE.What made smallville work was showing the human side of clark kent and the super villians he would face. Brandon Roth I can see has superman for awhile but maybe enhance the dang suit even more it looked but it doesn’t have to look like tights but why the hell did it look like it had body armor Superman don’t need body Armor. Damn SR could been so what better if they writing did a little more focus on the relationship with Lois cause I mean I didn’t feel no chemistry with them and also how we should no that was supermans kid if clark took away her memories at the End of Superman 2? It just goes with Superman 3 and Superman 4

Attention Fans: I have read all the comments about Superman that all of you have injected. I believe and honor the comments that ‘Son of Sam’ (10/11/’08) & ‘Amiro’ (10/21/’08) have injected; Tom Welling is the man to the Next Superman Hero to save the planet on the ‘Big Screen’ and ‘BRANDON ROUTH’ We all can relate to Tom Welling as the next ‘SUPERMAN’ like ‘Son of Sam’ mentioned ‘Brandon Routh’ Stinks. He is a very poor actor and does not relate with the Superman story. What we need to do is, seek writer with creativity and vision and that can relate to the story of superman with Lois at his side. At all cost the Superman series should continue after the Big Movie In The Screen is shown………Rosado – 11/11/’08.

@TW4Superman2010,,,
He’s great for the Angst ridden tv version of Supes, but not for the movies…

+ I think he’s stated that he has no intention of playing Superman for the rest of his life…

All you need to keep from the show is Clark, Lex, Lois, and Jimmy!

That’s it! Maybe Chloe if you want to bring her along to… But the rest of the cast can be changed for the main characters are the only one’s needed.
The mother is off becoming a state senator, and the dad is dead.

So who else matters?

Tom Welling simply is the face of SUPERMAN right now!

Brandon Routh is the face of emo… He is not SUPERMAN, and never will be!
His suit looked like a cheap Halloween/Hooker outfit! And he looks like a total Fruit caKe!

Tom Welling looks like SUPERMAN! Like if he had just stepped out of the pages of DC.

“I agree with whoever said that Tom Welling is this generation’s Clark Kent.

true story.

…and we all love him! =)”

WHAT? NO, Welling is NO Superman to me and MANY people, at all; he is ok as young Clark Kent in Smallville, but that’s it, imo.

Brandon Routh IS Superman. He is the ONLY one I want to see in the tights and cape. He Is The Man for the job. Keep him, WB! Otherwise, I and many fans won’t support the next S movie.
