WB Superman Reboot 3.0: Christopher Nolan Edition

[dark_b]

Here's why you need a new origin story for a reboot......

Without it ... it just looks like a sequel to whatever the last film was.

With it, you hit the audience over the head right from the start that this is a new beginning to the franchise.

what about BB?
it is 100% different. it looks different tehy are all different,
it has an origin that was never shows in the theater.

yet people thought it was a prequel

sorry i dont belive this.

Why continue to ruin a 30 year old franchise? Why continue acting like Superman 3 & 4 never happened? Why not reboot? I don't care if this movie is supposed to be more "action-packed". There hasn't been a movie exploring Superman's origin for 30 years, yet you wan't to continue and tarnish what the classic Christopher Reeve's movies stood for?

Some people may have thought that but most of the people I've spoken with understand that it's not connected to the earlier films.

And the origin to BB not being shown in theaters??????!!!! The whole first half of BB was an origin story. How can you say that?

Again.... I really want a reboot. I don't want Donner's Krypton. I don't want the friggin Jason subplot. I don't want Singer's dismal visuals which are more suited to his early work such as Apt Pupil and The X-men. I don't want that lousy costume. and I don't like Singer's aping Donner's take on the characters.

We need a reboot with someone strong enough to give Superman an exciting film filled with action, character interaction, depth, and serious adversaries.

I did like Spacey as Luthor but they didn't give him a lot to work with. The plot had holes you could drive a truck through.

I want to chuck the whole thing and start from scratch. Give us an interesting Science Fiction beginning like the one from Byrne and Wolfman's 'Man Of Steel'. Let us see young Clark travel the world in search of himself like in Birthright. Let's see how Clark arrived at the costume and the identity - I'd like it to be just like in 'Man Of Steel'. I'd like to see him battle Brainiac with Luthor as the Corporate Shark who appears to be Metropolis' defender but, in truth, is trying to manipulate everyone to his own ends.

So, the world DOES need a reboot.

It needs to get this franchise back on the right foot!

THIS MAN WINS THE BOARD


Seriously, I can't figure out why this hasn't been done.

In my opinion they need to go right back to the origin with the destruction of Krypton told all through flashbacks and Brainiac as the main badguy. Make him responsible for the destruction of Krypton like S:TAS and have the movie start with Clark exploring the world and trying to find a place for him in it.

Which would you prefer?

I personally thought Routh was great as did most of the fans, hell even ones who didnt' like SR that much thought Routh was a saving grace...

However it seems unlikely to me that they would use the same actor to do a complete reboot of the franchise. To have the same star play the character with a different history would be confusing to most.

Basically if Routh comes back it is the MOS sequel.

If they decide to do a reboot it means a new actor takes over.

PREQUEL with Routh, Bosworth, Spacey and without Jason

Thanks.

And that's what a good Superman origin story SHOULD HAVE ... young Clark trying to find his place in the world. Clark wasn't born in a superhero costume and he wasn't raised to be a superhero. It was something he arrived at. I want to see that life path.

Yeah David, as you know it's pretty much what the majority has been saying for a while. Good summary of the ideas we've been seeing the last geez 5 years or so. Instead of going with something like that and giving an origin start introducing character again, they do a returns story. They've seen many of us fans suggesting these ideas over and over yet it goes ignored. I guess we are to be greatful they brought Superman back at all.

If it the decision to do a sequel or a prequel then by all means Routh should return. However in a reboot or total relaunch of the francise then they should distance themselves away from any storyline or cast member in SR and focus on establishing a new era in the francise from scratch.

 

[bgshw44]

PREQUEL with Routh, Bosworth, Spacey and without Jason

yes , same cast that takes place before SR. you can have flashbacks to show some origion parts that were not shown in STM

[DavidTyler]

And I've been talking about that for at least 5 years if not more.

But the WB is full of SHIRTS who think they know better. End result? A lackluster film like SR that underperforms.

Reboot the G**D***ed franchise and get us an exciting new director who won't screw up the character and his supporting cast.

 

[Superman-Prime]

This thread is.... wow, just wow.

People who voted for "Reboot" and doesn't want Brandon Routh to come back as Superman.

 

[Venom'sDad]

Maybe \S/ should have included my idea of a Prequel.

Maybe \S/ should have included my idea of a Prequel.

It's a possibility, but if you're going to loose the Jason/ Richard storyline, you might as well just start over.

Besides, who ever heard of the first movie being the last in the story? That would be an admission that SR failed. If you're going to do that, you might as well reboot.

 

[Super Kal]

where's the "reboot with Routh" option?

 

[Mentok]

Reboot with Routh.

 

[Obi Wan Kenobi]

Ok, I understand that not everyone loved SR; for the record I did, but that's beside the point. The biggest criticism that SR gets, which I can see to an extent is that it didn't show us anything new in terms of villains, action sequences, etc.. It seems to me that if you want something new, continue the series where it is right now. Singer has repeatedly said that his plans for the sequel are a more action packed movie (prob w/ Braniac). The one thing I think that we could all do without is another Superman origin story. The reason Batman Begins worked was because the old Batman movies never really showed his origin, plus they'd gone through all the villains already. With Superman, this all stems back to S:TM. We already got a great origin in that movie. Then we got SII, take or leave 3 and 4, and now w/ Returns out, we can finally get to see something new in a Superman movie. If everybody doesn't stop making all this noise on the net about wanting a reboot then we're gonna be right back at square one.

Good post. Superman doesn't need a reboot. Superman needs a great villian to challenge him on film.

What people here don't realize is if you do a reboot its going to be Superman vs LEX LUTHOR 1 on 1.

Who really wants to see that again?

 

[Superman-Prime]

where's the "reboot with Routh" option?

There you go! That's exactly what I was thinking. I'm with Super Kal. Either Sequel with Routh or Reboot with Routh.

 

[Venom'sDad]

It's a possibility, but if you're going to loose the Jason/ Richard storyline, you might as well just start over.

I didn't mention anything concerning the Jason/Richard storyline; that would not have anything to do with a Prequel.

Besides, who ever heard of the first movie being the last in the story?

Have you ever heard of the Star Wars trilogies and the propose Hobbit from LOTR.

That would be an admission that SR failed. If you're going to do that, you might as well reboot.

I think a reboot would be more of an admission that SR was a failure.
