Honestly I think the Superman sequel is going to 100% forward, like Returns did. The played out scenarios should stay in the past. The Superman movies are great because they are the only superhero movies where you really don't have any idea what to expect for the main character. We all know Batman will stay in his safe little bubble... a dark, gritty movie about a loner and his villains... Spiderman will learn an important lesson about forgiveness and Fantastic Four will suck. Superman can go anywhere... from battling Darkseid to the death of his son. It's the only superhero franchise with that potential for range because the director actually has balls. Knock him all you want, but atleast give him respect for mixing things up... Superman is a DAD!!! Who saw that one coming?!?!
