Superman Returns Again (Kinda Sorta)

Newsarama has a story here about the direction the new Superman film will go. According to the article they are basically going to reboot the franchise. Now I thought that is what they should have done last time. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed Superman Returns for what it was. (Basically the worlds biggest fan film.) I thought it perfectly continued the movies from the Christopher Reeve movies. It was a great ode to that series. And what they did I thought was great it just was more an adaptation of the Superman movie of 1978 than it was about Superman the Comic Book character. I wanted a movie based on the comic book character, not a movie based on a movie based on a comic book character. Hopefully this news turns out to be a good thing and we don't end up with another Superman IV. (which by the way even though it is my least favorite of the five I liked it I just thought the serious subject matter should have been taken a bit more seriously) Now if only they will keep Brandon Routh.
