Would JJ Abrams make a good director for a Superman reboot?
It's a rumour, admittedly from a unreliable site but given that he's going to work as WB it's a possibility.
Pros:
-Can make well received box office hits that are generally well liked by critics and audiences with ease. After the disaster of having two Superman movies that were too scary for children and weren't well liked by audiences, Superman as a character needs an easy win like a JJ Abrams movie.
-His characters are generally likable (The Force Awakens' best feature is its characters and his Star Trek movies do a decent job of it) and are also very pro-active, which wasn't the case for Superman in Returns and BvS.
-He can make nostalgia movies really well. This is what Singer tried to do in Returns but Abrams is a master of it.
Cons:
We don't need a Superman movie that harks back to the Reeves movies. Just because the dark, anti-nostalgia version of Superman movie didn't work doesn't mean we need another 180 on the whole franchise.
His movies seem very unambitious. He plays it overly safe and seems fine with making consistent 7/10 movies.
His Superman Flyby script was terrible, though admittedly that was years ago.
I'm... undecided on this.
