If you have concerns about the Superman film franchise, if you have doubts about the ability of an SR sequel to be creativelly/financially successful, then you might want to express your thoughts directly to WB. The link below will help you do that:

There are plenty of reasons for concern about the future of the franchise, but so far quotes attributed to Messrs. Singer, Horn and Robinov suggest their perception is that the lack of action in SR was its only problem and the only thing that need be addressed in a sequel. Hence this whole Wrath of Khan stuff.
But for many, including some supporters of SR, there are other concerns that need to be addressed. Singer seems to have produced himself into a creative box with SR to the point where a sequel will be forced to try to successfully integrate the convoluted story and poor characterizations from SR into a subsequent film with more action and all this on a much smaller budget. Including a need to resolve the messy Lois/Clark/Superman and now Jason quadrangle set-up by SR, but with two actors who do not have a lot of on-screen chemistry/spark together. These are issues that simply throwing in more action won't even begin to resolve.
Its a shaky foundation upon which to try to build a new Superman film franchise. Even some SR supporters sense this - I've seen posts by SR supporters in sequel threads saying that Singer needs to tie up all loose ends in a sequel as there may not be a third film. Hardly a vote of confidence in the foundation laid by SR.
