IOW PCuperman.
This monstrosity was in the works for years.
The been jonesing to redu the superman costume,
They TRIED to make the jimmy olson character a homosexual but had to back off when fans objected.
The notion of this PATHETIC feminist Lois Lane makes me want to see this turkey even less.
No wonder the trailers are emphasising the special effects, the story line must really suck.
So far it seems there is nothing super about superman.
Obviously whoever wrote this script has no idea about the history of superman or patriotism for that matter.

Actually, Kevin Smith of "Clerks" and "Dogma" fame was contacted in the early 90's to write a script for a Superman film. Back in the days when Nicholas Cage was slated to play Superman.
He tried to play it by the books and Mythos of the Son Of Krypton and the Man Of Steel. Every time he sent in a draft, it was massacred by the director (Babs Streisand's ex, Jon Peters; who wanted to do away with the red and blue suit and cape right off the bat) producers, product tie-in people and legal suits.
Smith finally got fed up, took their money and walked away from the project. I guess it only spiraled downhill from there.
Jack.
