“Look, you can’t put the Superman #77s with the #200s. They haven’t even discovered Red Kryptonite yet. And you can’t put the #98s with the #300s, Lori Lemaris hasn’t even been introduced.” — Sam
“Where the hell are you from? Krypton?” — Edgar Frog
"We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another, as if we were one single tribe."
~ Black Panther.
Possibly. Let's see what old Sam the Eagle thinks...

Maybe an all Outkast soundtrack. That and G-Funk to avoid all the comparisons to The Batman and all that depressing grunge.
At some point, this thread became more about music than rebooting Superman on the big screen.
There are now rumors that WB Discovery's CEO is reevaluating the deal made with Abrams prior to the sale. As always, tons of Snyderbros are saying this means Cavill is back.
I think it's time to accept that what Superman needs is a completely fresh start. Even if you loved the Snyderverse stuff and Cavill in the role, he's not played the character in years and there hasn't been a solo Superman movie in eight years (sixteen years if you don't consider Man of Steel a Superman movie).
I say put aside the race-swapping (at least on the big screen) and go with a Superman who is actually new and inexperienced. Superman's origin has been revisited so many times (not just the Krypton part) because the story is endlessly compelling. Let's see a Superman movie that borrows heavily from all of Superman's origins: Silver Age, Man of Steel, Birthright, Secret Origins, Earth One, and Action Comics. Get a young unknown as CK/Superman and anchor the film with well-known actors. Let's see a Superman starting out with GA power levels who develops throughout the film. His first flight is as big a deal to him as it is to us. Clark trying out different careers until committing to journalism. Daily Star at first and Daily Planet later. Clark and Lois as rivals instead of co-workers. Jimmy as a guy closer to their age who's pals with Clark. Brainiac or The Collector of Worlds as a villain with an up-and-coming Luthor as an emerging villain who knew Clark in high school. Sam Lane as a foil that will complicate matters with Lois.
It's all there if someone would just use it.
I agree, though I would add elements from the other origins to the main "skeleton" of Men of Steel. Clark would travel the world before Metropolis (Birthright, The Odyssey) and also try out other career options (Year One) before choosing journalism and getting his first job at the Daily Star. We'd see a flashback to Clark's high school days to establish his past friendship with Lex Luthor (Birthright, Secret Origin) though Luthor is a scientist and advisor instead of a businessman (Men of Steel). Clark would also have some experience as Superboy (no costume but with the jeans/t-shirt look of New 52) but covertly as seen in Secret Origin. The Collector of Worlds is the main villain but we learn that Brainiac is in deep space in his skull ship, now aware of the presence of a Kryptonian (Secret Origin/Brainiac) he hasn't collected.
I like music.
Yepee!!There are now rumors that WB Discovery's CEO is reevaluating the deal made with Abrams prior to the sale.
Would be that something good? I think the Snyderverse already lost his oportunity window.As always, tons of Snyderbros are saying this means Cavill is back.
I am agree with that... and I must admit I like Cavill as Superman. But that bridge is lost, in my unexpert opinion.I think it's time to accept that what Superman needs is a completely fresh start. Even if you loved the Snyderverse stuff and Cavill in the role, he's not played the character in years and there hasn't been a solo Superman movie in eight years (sixteen years if you don't consider Man of Steel a Superman movie).
I mean, really? It is that like... the amazing Spider-Man situation? The origin of Superman is pretty well known. Would not to be better to make an story of his first clash with a villian, as a starting point?I say put aside the race-swapping (at least on the big screen) and go with a Superman who is actually new and inexperienced.

Him traveling the world isn't a bad idea but I would try to keep the storyline mostly the same. It has Lex, Metallo, and we even get Steel. All with Brainiac being the main villain of the movie.i think something like this is what Superman needs. And try to keep Lex at a minimum. Seriously guys we need other villains.
