Some insight into Goyer's script perhaps?

[Stephen K. Hone]

Personally, I'd enjoy a long origin. I feel, to make a movie about such a huge character, that you need to show how he got there.

I'd like to see a different style Krypton but just show it briefly unlike the original Superman. Also like to see his relations with Martha and Johnathan. We need to obviously see him develop his powers and it'd be cool to see him do something heroic in Smallville. Also cameos from Pete Ross and Lana Land would be cool. As long as they have more then 2 lines.

Superman's pre-Metropolis days are important and we couldn't fully appreciate it from flash back's or a hurried intro.

If this is a 100% re-boot then I'd like to see an origin as well. It's over 30yrs since STM. Time to redo everything and treat it like it hasn't been told before. For every movie goer who is familiar with the origin you could probably find five that are not. I'd spend about one third of the movie on the origin, and if it is non-linear and done with flashbacks as in Batman Begins that might work.
