He was wrong.
Those fans are fans of Superman, not just Donner's Superman. Just because fandom doesn't want another Superman film by Donner or anyone who apes his style doesn't mean they hate kids.
Superman can still appeal to kids and make good films without Donner's involvement.
The mythos has barely been explored in film. Donner's already had his shot, three times if you count SR. The franchise needs an relevant update by new blood.
oh brother
I'm talking about this none sense.

Gotta love the Superman Returns/Singerman apologists. Just face the facts, Superman Returns was an average to below average movie and story wise a below average Superman story. Brandon Routh was cast as a Christopher Reeve clone and no other reason, but he couldn't fill the suit. Kate Bosworth was about as believable as Jim Belushi would be playing Superman. Spacey had potential, but the direction they went with Luthor was bad.
Watching Batman and Robin was more enjoyable overall than watching Superman Returns. Superman hasn't been given its due respect, so it is about time it is given the proper attention. Bring on Welling or someone else who is more capable. Sorry SR cast, but you won't be coming back. Boo hoo to the apologists. Wake up and smell the bad movie that SR was.

Dark Superman Script:
Lois- "Your paying child support, scumbag."
Superman- "How about a late abortion??"

.. best movie.. ever

and their on other super man sites that have people talking like that, not what you described. please refrain from answering like this again when there are people that are proving other wise from what you say and are on another topic all together on why they hated the movie from your own .
The nuts are speaking and are the ones screwing and pushing for this reboot. not the one on this forum ( cause he's not) topic but the ones that are in other places on here and other sites on super man. you and the others here are on another topic altogether on why but Wb is listening to those nuts that say they hate kids in it and the second quote in that link proves that. those people and a tone more like them are on other super man sites doing this. and push in every mailing way possable. any way i'm done. your too busy arguing for the sake of arguing with out knowing what or bothering to ask what I'm talking about and are too sacred to get the in from the taped sources. AND ACTUALLY Getting THE RIGHT INFO. This is why G W bush got to be prez and why Donner really wants super man and other dc characters like bat man to exist to get rid of this none sense. man look a what things have become sheesh.
Ihe only thing that should be explored is that super man should be fighting villains like Drainiac and mongul and dark seed and dooms day and that adroid look alike astornaught from earth just befor his come back from the dead amng others and add in the fact that he has other weakness
besides Kryptonite such as
Magic: Superman's biomatrix is his most powerful asset, but the strength of this field is also its greatest weakness. It's permeability to certain wavelengths makes Superman vulnerable to certain radiations, particularly magical energies whose chaotic electromagnetic or extradimensional signatures disrupt this forcefield. Superman's vulnerability to magic varies on the special effects of the magic. No magic seems to be able to directly destroy him unless it comes from a semi-divine or divine source. He can be injured and worn down by magical entities. Magic can have powerful and unpredictable effects on Superman and his magical enemies have often proven to be the most dangerous.
High Energy Attacks or Radiation: High energy radiations of a particular wavelength can also cause injury by overloading the field at a single point, hence the reason he can be harmed by high energy weapons such as blasters, lasers and plasma weapons. Kinetic kill weapons with sufficient force can also overload the field at that point. which both earth one superman and new earth super man the one now have.
I said that (the part about viillans) on the forum here
http://forums.superherohype.com/showthread.php?t=306569&page=3 and that comment page. other then that. just don't bother with what the deal on what's on other minds cause your obviously not on the same page with those nuts. So please don't speak for them. And make it as if I'm on another world. ugh. really man.
