Superman is planned to get a Reboot

    If you have seen the last Superman Film which was Superman Returns, chances are that you are more than likely have been unsatisfied. I mean the grandest Superhero of all time was scaled down to a peeping stalker for his ex-girlfriend. The only great thing in that film was Kevin Spacey but even Lex Luthor wasn’t really given justice by the story.

    And recently I have encountered a great news (through IGN.com) that Warner, the studio that holds the right to the Superman Franchise, confirmed that they are indeed planning on restarting the franchise. Warner Bros. Pictures Group President Jeff Robinov was qouted stating that Superman Returns “didn’t quite work as a film in the way that we wanted it to. … It didn’t position the character the way he needed to be positioned.” I couldn’t agree more with Robinov. My favorite part of the news is that because of the monumental success of Batman’s latest film, The Dark Knight, Warner wants the Man of Steel to follow the Caped Crusader’s lead that it is going to be treated with a dark tone. Robinove went as far as saying that they are “going to try to go dark to the extent that the characters allow it,” referring to future DC character films including Superman.

    This is wonderful news as going dark would give Superman a fresh treatment which is exactly a reboot should be.The only thing I could think of wishing right now is these DC films could somehow be interlocked with each other to pave the way for a possible Justice League movie. How awesome would that be?!
