Question: What has happened to the Superman franchise (for Superman fans only) !?
Any other Superman fans out there that feel similar to the way I do!? I've been a huge fan of the Christopher Reeve movies since I saw them on VHS when I was about four years old, wasn't born yet when they were in theaters!. After twenty years of a Superman movie in development hell, I read in 2005 that a new Superman movie was finally on its way, I was just totally anticipated!. I saw the photos of Brandon Routh as Clark Kent on the internet, I thought to myself "Awesome, they got the right guy for this part!" but that feeling changed when I saw the first picture of him in the Superman suit, I was unimpressed and thought he looked like a wimpy version of Superman!. But I brushed that aside and was still looking forward to it, I even trusted Bryan Singer because of his two recent X-Men films!. I'm surprised I even liked the idea of this movie picking up where the second Superman movie left off (erasing III and IV out of the continuity) which turned out to be one of the things that bothered me the most!.
Well, when "Superman Returns" was finally released in 2006, I went and saw it leaving the theater feeling disgusted!. Instead of a "real" Superman film, we got some A-list director's personal fan film which looked more like a two and a half hour-long Saturday Night Live skit making fun of the old Superman movies!. Who does Bryan Singer think he is to try restarting the Chris Reeve Superman series!? I know parts III and IV were embarrassing but Reeve is dead, that continuity is nothing without him! Didn't you find the ending blasphemous when Routh as Supes looks into the camera before flying off into space which was Reeve's trademark in the old movies!? If I saw Bryan Singer now, I'd walk up to him and spit in his face for raping my childhood!.
Now they announced that they're rebooting the Superman franchise but I don't know, I'm afraid they're just going to rush it and compete with the other superhero franchises!. I think they should just take their time and look for the best creative team they can fine before going into production!. "Superman Returns" was a great opportunity wasted to bring the most iconic superhero ever back on track!. Superman is a great character and his fans deserve better!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

The problem is that the studios look at these franchises as a cash cow and feel that with a built-in audience, they can crank out anything and make a profit, rather than a quality product!.
As it usually the case, you need to let the franchise cool down a bit, to built anticipation, rather than a film a year, which tires out everyoneWww@Enter-QA@Com

Well, if you think that's bad, you may not get a better effort if the creators' families have anything to say about it!. They continually launch fights against DC for more money & rights to the characters!. This is particularly true of Siegel's family, who caused a nice debacle recently with the name "Superboy"!. They've tried similar stunts with "Superman" because they feel they should get more money from Siegel & Shuster's creations than they were originally paid!. The guys took the company to court, lost the case but were paid a settlement for the character, & that should have been that!. However, they still cry sour grapes & try to screw things up for comic fans every chance they get when they see an opening for a new lawsuit!. So, by the time DC gets another Superman ready to release (2010-2011 estimated release at this time), these people will likely cause another legal hangup & delay things again if at all possible!. The creators were paid for the character, so that should be that!. 'nuff said!Www@Enter-QA@Com
