In my opinion, what Geoff Johns has done is take the post-crisis continuity and characters, and then has found ways to turn them back into there pre-crisis incarnations without starting from scratch. I'm sorry, but I do not like Lex Luthor as a mad scientist/criminal mastermind. Lex Luthor, for me, will always be a corporate businessman/politician. It's just better, hands down in my opinion. And I want Clark Kent as the real, everyday person and Superman as the symbol of hope, not an alien jesus. And I'm afraid this is going to spill over into the next movie, and we will get a tweaked version of the Donner flick, and I do not want that. I want the post-crisis movie with Clark as the real person, Lex as a business mongul/President, a likeable Lois, Kryptonian Braniac, etc etc. You pre-crisis folks have gotten the things you wanted, what about us who love the newer Superman stories. I'm sick of being left out in the cold. I'm being dramatic, but I do not care.
Now, Geoff Johns is a helluva writer, and I wish he was on the post-crisis team, but sadly, he is not. Johns is like Barack Obama for silver age/Donner lovers. I want my Barack Obama, darn it.
If I had my way, in an attempt to please everyone, I would let Johns write all the silver age/Donner stories he wanted, but I would also have a comic that was pure post-crisis/TAS based. The best of both worlds. No matter what, that would be fair to everyone.
