yeah, batman begins was amazing, if they do the same with superman i'll be really pleased too.
i saw the trailer last week, and thought it was dull as heck, apart from the Marlon Brando voiceover from the original movie.
but i suppose it was only a 'teaser'.
and my loyalties lie with Batman, so no Superman sigpic from me...but i hope its a good film.
and its supposed to be the 'sequel' to the original '78 movie isn't it, not a complete restart like Batman Begins was?
RIP Jules, never to be forgotten. #KeepFightingMichael

I just can't wait to see wynyard train station madeover to be the hospital, that'll look awesome
yeahhhh looking forward to this one. Hope they do a good job with the movie. Always been a Superman fan But even though this actor fills in the physical requirements for the role, dont think there'll ever be one better than Reeve

Superman Returns director Bryan Singer talked during a recent charity auction and gave several details about the film, courtesy of a Superhero Hype scooper.
* When a gentleman asked if the goofy aspect that he loved about the old Superman flicks would be in Returns, Bryan answered that he is trying to steer clear of "goofy" but it is definitely the most romantic and humorous film he has done to date.
* There is no truth to the rumor that there is a clause in Brandon Routh's contract to do a Superman/Batman crossover flick, only a standard Warner Brothers multi-picture deal. Although I was later told that even though it most likely will never be seen in the movie, the set was so detailed that the Daily Planet newspapers were all filled with stories, including a "Bat Creature" being spotted in Metropolis with a picture of a shadowy Batman jumping off of a building with Jimmy Olsen photo credits. Very cool. Bryan also mentioned that the only time he ever considered a Batman/Superman movie was when Wolfgang Peterson was attached, and just thought how he would do it. "Who would be the bad guy? It'd have to be Batman. But he can't be that bad...he's Batman!" He said tonight was the first time he had thought about it since then.
* As confirmed already Noel Neill (The Adventures Of Superman's Lois Lane and Lois Lane's mother in Donner's '78 film) will be making a cameo, which Bryan described as a important one, in addition to Jack Larson's cameo featured on Bryan's Video Journal #25 and in the Comic-Con footage.
* When asked about Kevin Spacey's portrayal of Lex Luthor (whether he was a scientist, billionaire, etc.), Bryan said that Lex is "fresh out of jail" and that his history with Superman and/or Clark doesn't tread one way or another over the groundwork left by Smallville. Only that the two characters have some kind of history as we join them in the movie.
* Bryan agreed with someone in the audience that the biggest change to the Superman mythos he made was giving Lois a kid with James Marsden's character (not a raised S logo). He thought this was something that you've never seen Superman deal with before that his version brought to the table. You've seen Superman save every disaster, but how would he deal with this? The world has moved on a bit, but it seems Lois has completely moved on.
* To keep Clark's disappearance under wraps, Martha Kent sent postcards to Lois during his Daily Planet hiatus. In the Comic-Con footage Martha asks Clark "What about that nice girl you used to talk about? The one you had me send post cards to?" or something to that effect.
* There's roughly 1,400 effects shots to be completed to the movie, and although obviously an expensive movie, the budget has been exaggerated a bit on the net, and is still roughly under 200 million.
* The opening credits will feature John Williams classic Superman march, with a new score by editor/composer John Ottman integrating old and new themes. I believe I also caught a mention that the opening credits will feature some of Superman: The Movie.
* There's a huge plane action scene, briefly seen in the Comic-Con footage, that may run 20-25 minutes and is going to be BREATHTAKING and UNBELIEVABLE.
* A huge amount of time and effort went into fighting gravity so there wouldn't be any "droop-age" when Superman flies, including clever camera maneuvers and several green covered men puppeteering the cape at any given time.
* Superman being able to breathe in space (and underwater) is addressed in the movie, and yes he has to breathe in Bryan's Super-World. He is "too logical" in his thinking to let these things fall under the suspension of disbelief category.
* The raised S under the suit is addressed, as is the costume's origin in some way.
* The sets are incredibly detailed, down to the stack of business cards on Perry White's desk, and some of the props have already gone on sale at the prop department for cheap as heck. (Someone has already snagged Lex Luthor's smoking jacket for twenty bucks.)
Meanwhile, filming in Sydney took place at the corner of Castlereagh St. and Hunter St. It

I got high hopes... Superman is perhaps my second favorite hero, only behind Spider Man .
.@ DrDougal, the whole point of Batman is the fact that he is a real, normal man, who just happens to have loads of money, so is able to build/buy fancy weapons, but has no superpowers. if you were rich enough, and trained everyday, you could, could become something like him.
and there should never be a Superman/Batman movie. how could it work, when 1 is supposed to be a real man with no powers, yet the other is effectively an alien who can fly and stuff? This idea was mainly by Warner Bros to re-ignite both franchises in a modern way, but after the success of Batman Begins, they understand that they can re-launch both franchises separately, and make them successful in their own right, without having to do gimmicky combined movies.
and about the subtle wink to Batman by the Superman movie (reports of a Bat creature in the Daily Panet newspaper) there may also be a possibility of a reporter from The Daily planet showing up in a future Batman movie, at a press conference or something, so each franchise gives a nod and wink to the other.
RIP Jules, never to be forgotten. #KeepFightingMichael
