Should they make a movie about the Death of Superman?

[dru-zod2501]

they already did

but really, forget this question until we have a Superman worth seeing go through the death & rebirth

I don't think it's necessary to make a live action movie myself as I feel years down the line you could do an epic Lord of the Rings styled trilogy with the storyline. Same could've been done with the Dark Knight Returns (I know it still could but would have to be way way down the line) but if course Nolan used several elements of it in the Dark Knight Rises so it would seem too similar. With the current MOS though if we are to get a trilogy I would love the 3rd film to have an All Star Superman ending.

I love the idea of a third Superman film featuring the death of Superman. Or the third film could feature Darkseid...

If he "dies" in the end of the trilogy, it would be depressing, but also groundbreaking. Also, there could be a lull in Superman movies to introduce other heroes. Then, at the end of that lull, Zack Snyder could do a literal adaptation of the Return of Superman comics. You know you want to see Superboy fight Cyborg Superman in slow-mo, don't lie.

I wouldn't mind seeing some take on the "Death and Return" story for the third film. The trick IMO would be to do it without it feeling like a straight-up rehash of "The Dark Knight Rises", which basically went down a somewhat-similar path. Maybe have Superman lose his powers in some kind of sacrifice play at the end of the second film as some alien menace to make Zod's army look like Romper Room is seen advancing toward Earth, and have him spend the bulk of the third film looking for a way to get his powers back while said menace is running roughshod all over the Earth. It's not QUITE death, but what the heck, the rest of the world would think he's dead.
