502583, Why can't they expand the idea of what the franchise can be?
Posted by rorschach, Tue Feb-09-10 06:19 PM
Why does a trilogy have to follow each other chronologically? Can't it just be three excellent movies about Superman that tie into each other?

I always felt that they could elevate Superman a la TDK just as long as they didn't take a myopic approach by trying to make Supes 'more edgy'. Superman doesn't need to be edgy. They can make a Superman movie that explores his alienation and savior-like status among other things as long as they do one thing: give Superman someone to fight other than Lex. People want to see him fight someone--physically.

EDIT: Another thing--it would be nice if someone slipped the execs and writers copies of Action Comics #775 as inspiration.
