Superman Sequel?? What's the Deal

This was posted over at hnrnf.com, but got little response so I will re-post it here and let the big movie guns handle it:

so...why do you think so long on a sequel to Superman?

You would think with Marvel Comics killing the movie industry, WB would get off their asses and work on their 2nd biggest franchise...
Let's be honest...With the buzz about Heath Ledger's death, his clearly phenomenal Joker, Christian bale's "on-fire-ness", the successful reboot of the franchise and Christopher Nolan's awesome directing, the only thing that will keep The Dark Knight from being the biggest opening in history is the economy...so what is WB being pre-cautious about? I understand Superman Returns wasn't the major hit they'd hoped for, but its still workable...

Is it possible that they are taking a cue from Marvel's inconsistent ratio (ie...Fan4, Ghost Rider, The (old) Hulk)...that WB just wants to make sure they get it right?

I would be too afraid of the genre going stale to hold out on something like that...what do you guys think?

Welcome to the boards, homie.

I wouldn't expect you to know this, but all of our discussion on the upcoming Bryan Singer film Man Of Steel goes in the thread already started over here: http://www.joblo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=114730&page=3

We try to keep all discussion in previously existing threads in order to keep the board from getting cluttered. No worries though....

Personally I think they should have tried a little harder on a Wonder Woman script. Though I didnt hate superman returns, I didnt really like it either...and trust me, I wanted to like it. So truthfully it doesnt bother me if they take their time and do something that blows everyone away. And hopefully recast Lois Lane... I know she's a good actress, and I know she's hot and all... but she just never felt like Lane. Oh yeah, and it would be cool if they brought back General Zod and the gang... but they better do a awesome job recasting...

thanks for the redirect...I actually did a search for "Superman"...but the thread was like 2 threads further than where I stopped looking.

I'm a big fan of the original Superman movies. I wrote a script for a Supeman sequel (to Returns) and have been asking for opinions on it. They have been pretty negative so far, but from people that do not like any of the Superman movies, or even Superman for that matter. I am in the process of rewriting the opening as some people have found it offensive and also add the extra needed pages to bring it to "movie" length. If there are any fans out there, I could use your thoughts. Please check it out and respond to the appropriate thread at:
