At the very least it’ll be far better than Superman Returns. I finally got the scoop on why Superman Returns didn’t soar: apparently Bryan Singer idolized Richard Donner and Singer’s take was meant to be more of a love letter to Donner than an updated, new Superman movie.
Instead we got an inferior rehash of Superman 1 & 2, with the same kind of love triangle nonsense that blighted X-Men. As it turns out, Bryan Singer isn’t a comics fan.
Zack Snyder is, and isn’t afraid of ramping up the action when it’s called for, which is what Superman Returns needed.
With creative input from Chris Nolan, and what I’ve read about the plot, I think they are going to focus on the impact a super-powered alien would have on our planet. Singer attempted to do that by focusing on the effects Supes’ absence would have on the human race, but there was no immediacy or threat in that.
Superman wouldn’t be able to keep everything neat and tidy as in previous movies, especially when fighting the likes of Zod and Faora. Zod alone is more physically capable than Kal-El on paper.
It should be utter chaos. You’ve probably seen Monsters -it follows a similar theme of the intrusion of E.T’s into the ‘real’ world:
That is as about as realistic as they could go with Man of Steel…except obviously the aliens would blend in most of the time. Snyder has said this is his most realistic movie yet.
There may even be a mystery third villain. The pole sticking out of mo-cap guy’s headband is a sight line, which indicates a villain of size. Some people have suggested that it’s Non, but there is no obvious reason why he or Zod would be that tall.
Keeping with the Kryptonian theme, the smart money’s on it being either Doomsday or the Eradicator (who were both in Kevin Smith’s Superman Lives script). We’ll have to wait and see, but the fact is they aren’t retreading old ground.

Throw in Mr.T and Dwayne Johnson and we have a deal.
I just hope Mr.T can get some decent size back if he gets a cameo.

The geek in me would debate that point! But I can see where you’re going with it. 
Singer was quite open about his intent with Superman Returns: it was meant to be Superman III. He loved the first two Superman movies, and thought the last two sucked – so his intent was that ‘Returns’ should be the follow up to Superman II.
Which in and of itself isn’t necessarily a horrible idea, but the execution of it was abysmal.
Superman Returns simply was NOT “Superman”. None of what Superman really is was in that movie. Clark Kent isn’t Superman’s alter ego. It is the other way around. This is where Smallville got it right. Clark is just some guy who wishes he could live the rest of his life on a farm pooning Lois…he just happens to be the most powerful being on the planet.

Completely in agreement with you, man.

Just to quickly clarify what I meant, Zod has military training to back up his powers; Kal-El grew up not needing anything other that his powers. Any encounters shouldn’t be easily and neatly contained by Kal-El. He shouldn’t be able to hold Zod off with one hand while rescuing a kitten from a tree with the other…

Yes, because it was a self-indulgent tribute to Richard Donner, not Superman. That’s why BS took the project on. He had no real interest in the character (hence all the liberty-taking). Singer was more concerned in making it a technical homage to Donner’s take on the comic. The problem is that Singer tried to make a contemporary Superman movie but he was beholden to two movies made in the late '70s - early '80s and the limitations that came with them. There is plenty wrong with that idea…
If Donner made Superman today, it would have been a whole different animal to what he made back then. Superman 1 & 2 were/ are good movies, but if they were made today with the same production values and limited FX (which also limits imagination and what you can do with a story BTW), they would be considered laughable.
I don’t want to see a director mimicking another director’s take on a story that’s nearly 20 years too late. Which is what Singer did. Worst of all, he managed to make Superman plain dull…that is actually quite an accomplishment when you think about it.
They should make a Superboy movie 
Anyone hear anything about the supposed Deadpool movie? There were rumours going around back when X-Men Origins Wolverine came out since Ryan Reynolds portrayed him in the movie. Haven’t heard anything since.

Yeah. They couldn’t have done a worse job if they tried (and they clearly didn’t try). They are supposed to be rebooting Deadpool with the solo movie due before 2014. First-timer Tim Miller has officially signed on to direct, but following typical Fox logic, it’s a reboot with the same guy playing the Deadpool we should’ve had the first time around.
Reynolds said: "the way we want to do it is pretty nasty and pretty hard…you can’t exactly have a $200m budget when you want to do a movie like this "
^ They always say that. They can’t exactly say “well, we’re doing it in exactly the same way as we did it in X-Men Oranges: Tangerine”. I take that kind of comment as an admission that they screwed up.
Ryan Reynolds should be banned from making any more comic book adaptations. I’d like to be able to play out my childhood fantasies with a dressing up box worth millions of dollars too, but it’s time to give someone else a chance.
^ But he is funny and has hot abz.

He’s not that funny. I think he might have made a decent Deadpool given the right script. However, I do believe he has dug his own grave now with that GL movie. I get the feeling he fills a similar fantasy for some women as that Brandon Routh. Maybe the next casting director shouldn’t be a woman…OR a guy who wants to screw the actor. LOL
You know I was being sarcastic, his one liners appeal to the masses who have the attention span of a two year old after drinking an espresso. Hey its either him or Tom Cruise, Cruise doesnt have a soul so technically he could play that roll.
