I just....I just cannot believe it. I mean, I sit down, watch various trailers, check out eBay for 'Superman Returns' movie figures...actually grab ahold of my very own Superman to Clark action figure from the movie and think...."My God....there is actually a brand spankin' new Superman movie coming out!"
The last 8 years or so have been simply amazing with respect to comic book movies...they have considerably picked up steam no doubt after the release of X-Men 1.
Looking back when I was playing with all my superhero toys, reading the comics, watching the cartoons...I would get goose bumps whenever I read articles or snippets of potential comic book movies that are due to come out. For the longest time it seemed like only a dream and that I'd never actually get to see them, and just read about them. Then one by one, they came out...Spider-Man (one of my most anticpated movies since I was crappin' in my pants....so not that long ago
) X-Men (3, count 'em 3 friggin' movies!) Hulk, Daredevil (the Directors cut ruled all, should have been released in the theater!), Fantastic Four (complete ass..but at least the last 10 minutes was cool), Blade (3 of those as well), Punisher (could have been cooler...but hopefully the sequel will deliver if it ever gets made)
Looking back at that article in the movie section in that old Wizard magazine that said Kevin Smith was going to write and or direct a new Superman movie, and that Nicholas Cage was going to be in it when it was supposed to be directed by Tim Burton...and none of those came to pass.
Now....now come June 30th 2006 I will get to sit in a movie theater and actually watch an 1 and 1/2 (hopefully more!) of Kal-El in his cool costume battling Lex Luthor, saving the day. I am so excited and sometimes it feels like it's not even happening! However, if you really sit down and think about it, it actually IS happening, and it's amazing...simply amazing!
Thank you Mr. Singer and everyone else involved!
P.S.---I still think Mattel should go straight to hell for making really crappy toys off the movie, BUT I won't get started on that

That movie was extremely well done, and it was nearly perfect....
