Superman Returns Sequel Confirmed!

By Josh Tyler: 2006-10-27 00:00:00

America's big blue flying boy scout will be back. Warner Brothers promised that if Superman Returns made more than $200 million domestically they'd greenlight a sequel to Singer's instant superhero classic, and now that it has they're moving forward on a sequel.

IESB says that Bryan Singer finalized a deal to make his Superman Returns follow up last weekend, and that he may start production on it next fall. Now that Superman's reintroduction is out of the way, they say expect more action this time around. Look for Superman in "full action battle mode". Sounds good.

For Warner Brothers the really good news is that even with more action sequences the second movie should be much cheaper to produce. For Superman's Return, Singer had to develop completely new technology to make a lot of his effects work. With the processes already created, all he'll have to do is reuse them.

I believe you are wrong and I can give you many reasons.
This boy Brandon, is not ready for a task like that. The movie failed, and I hope they do a lot better next time. Have you ever heard of a Superman wearing contact lens? Neither do I. This one did. And what about his emotions: Brandon, smile! Face number one. Brandon, cry! Face number one. Brandon, angry! Face number one, again?
And what about the jokes? Trying to fake Christopher? No no no....
Sorry. They failed.

Thank God!
So many things could have been done better with Superman Returns (see my full review on my blog) and the actors are getting most of the heat. Brandon did an excellent job filling Christophers shoes (and I was one of the biggest critics). The biggest problems with the film were the millions of holes in the script (the writers CLEARLY didn't do their homework), the fact the director didn't insist they be fixed, and thirdly that Warner Brothers pitted Superman Returns up against Pirates of the Caribbean; Dead Man's Chest. Superman Returns was already against the ropes coming on the heals of Christopher Reeves death and brining in a new comer many weren't willing to give a chance. "hmm see established Johnny Depp as a pirate or some new kid trying to fill the boots of Chris Reeves?, I'll take the Pirate for $1000 Alex."
If Superman Returns hit the theaters AFTER the general public got Pirates out of their system and was already geared up to see more action, I truly believe it would have done better in the box office.
As far as a sequel Warner Brothers AND Brian Singer owe it to the public to redeem themselves from the fiasco script of Superman Returns. They simply couldn't leave the public with a bad taste in their mouths for one of the greatest Hero's ever to have been invented. The world definately needs Superman, what we demand is justice.
