‘Superman’ Reboot, One More Time

Aug 24th, 2008 by Joy Hogger Filed Under News


This is kinda old news (two days) but I just found a corresponding picture to accompany the story. It looks like ‘Superman’ will get another reboot, this time “darker.” From WSJ.

Like the recent Batman sequel — which has become the highest-grossing film of the year thus far — Mr. Robinov wants his next pack of superhero movies to be bathed in the same brooding tone as “The Dark Knight.” Creatively, he sees exploring the evil side to characters as the key to unlocking some of Warner Bros.’ DC properties. “We’re going to try to go dark to the extent that the characters allow it,” he says. That goes for the company’s Superman franchise as well.

“‘Superman’ didn’t quite work as a film in the way that we wanted it to,” says Mr. Robinov. “It didn’t position the character the way he needed to be positioned.” “Had ‘Superman’ worked in 2006, we would have had a movie for Christmas of this year or 2009,” he adds. “But now the plan is just to reintroduce Superman without regard to a Batman and Superman movie at all.”

Who wouldn’t want to see Superman passive aggressively battle his inner demons while trying to save the world.
