I do feel sorry for Brandon Routh. I wonder if he'll face typecasting troubles like his predecessors?
And Kate Bosworth will have it even worse.
James Marsden--if they make another X-film, whoever directs, he should run, not walk, to get on board. (hopefully they will be smart enough to include him again.) And then he should demand some actual screen time.
Kevin Spacey.....will probably land on his feet. But it might not be for a while. Oh well, who am I kidding, he's Kevin Spacey, I'm sure he'll shake this off his career somehow. I mean the man won two Oscars!
Just my theories, anyway.

I guess we don't know anything for sure at this point...there's conflicting reports. Whatever happens though, my hope is that there IS a Superman-only sequel, and that Singer is NOT at the helm.
Here's some web musings:

It's rumored that the villains in Superman Returns Again/The Man of Steel/? will be Metallo and Brainiac.
What if Superman met some sort of insane, monstrous creature that he was never able to completely defeat? Perhaps the creature was determined to kill Superman... and has now come to earth to finish the job.
I don't know, I guess I just don't like thinking that Superman suddenly left everyone for a five-year trip that lead to nothing.
As disappointing as Returns was, I still wish its sequel would explore why exactly Superman left so suddenly and for such a long time. I keep thinking that for some reason, Superman had to leave for space immediately and wasn't able to return. In Returns, Superman didn't say much at all about his voyage. It's interesting to think that something epic and horrible happened to him, giving him memories far too painful to speak about.Superman Homepage wrote:Apparently the 'Bank Gunner' from Superman Returns (the guy who shot Superman in the eye) will be the man who becomes/gets turned in to Metallo. It's unknown if he'll be referred to as John Corben or not.
The rumor goes on to state that Metallo does something pretty major in his huge battle with Superman which catches the attention of an alien orb in space (aka Brainiac), directing its attention towards Earth.

Those are some very provokative thoughts there Josh!
They sound like a great way to redeem Supes Returns', "I had to see for myself" Clark, oh and I know I've been gone five years Lois, but how about leaving your fiencee for me, because I can actually fly and he's only a crummy pilot?
Too bad that this didn't get more attention...I wonder if it was Singer's film and its reaction that muted critical/Academy attention, and would things have been any different if Supes Returns had been a giant--or even moderate--blockbuster?

I'll probably be getting this on DVD soon....I love "biopic based on a true story" films that are well done. Every time I see an ad for this film, it captures my interest in a big way.Hollywoodland looks like it could be this year's decent mature flick. As a Superman and Reeves fan and someone who read about his story years ago, I am looking forward to this.

Hey Josh, to answer you question about why Supes left Earth: I don't know if any of this was actually shot (director's cut?), but supposedly in the orginal conception of the film, Lex Luthor managed to somehow plant a story about Krypton's remains in the news so Superman would see it and go to investigate, hence the five year absence ('cause Krypton's not just across the street, ya know). I love the film and even I think that's reaching a bit, but it certainly would explain things. Oh, and the idea to put Metallo and Braniac in the sequel is a great one, so I hope that's what gets done.

I still think Superman would realize that Earth's scientists have limited capacitites and technology (especially compared to his people's technology) and not leave Earth even for five months for a "hunch" like that. (and believing it just because he reads it in the newspapers? Does anyone believe half of what they read in the newspapers? )Lex Luthor managed to somehow plant a story about Krypton's remains in the news so Superman would see it and go to investigate, hence the five year absence ('cause Krypton's not just across the street, ya know).
And even if it was proven 100% beyond a shadow of a doubt that there were remains of Krypton scattered around somewhere out there, I still don't think he'd leave Earth--especially for five years--just to check it out. Earth is his home, and THAT'S where his loyalties lie. He knows how much Earth needs him, and that sometimes you have to sacrifice things for others even if it means losing out on something for yourself. (A lesson Spidey could teach him--remember: "With great power comes great responsibility" )
Peter wanted Mary Jane more than anything but he was willing to give her up, and face all the dangers and sacrifices of what it means to be Spiderman. Like Aunt May said: "That's what a hero is."
And remember that line in Bats Begins: "It's not what you think that counts--it's what you do that defines you."

Ditto with Bruce Tim over here as well.
The guy meant so much for my childhood looking back on it now
Batman tas was propably my favourite animated show growing up
You guys do know that he appeared as a villain/character in a B:TAS episode right? (the "toy" guy--sorry can't find a pic)

I found this on YouTube by "jbsuperman"....I thought it was a cute video.....even though on the one hand I think it's ironic since the film's subtext contradicts a lot of what's in the song.....on the other hand you see what SR could have been as well. (Not to mention how absolutely great Lex/Spacey could have been if he'd been given a better script and direction....)
Plus, it has clips of some scenes which were obviously deleted, and I hope make it to the eventual "re-cut."

That flying is just sooooooooooooo bad.......
(with the CGI Supes saving the plane, and then that other time you can practically see the strings....)
(Maybe I should also say Copyright DreamWorks pictures, since the hero song was pretty blatantly ripped from Shrek 2! )
(Sorry, I realize it's copyrighted material, I just thought it was an interesting video, but I won't do it again. )

Also, this one user on IMDB has been pointing out all the (many) plot holes in this film: (I thought the film had some minimally positive qualities, but plot wasn't one of them....)
