Who knows how he will pull it off. I don't want Lex as the main villain again since he has been used enough. I know he is Superman's most famous foe but we don't see The Joker in every Batman movie, do we not?

I doubt Lex is going to be the main villain for Snyder's rebooted Superman film, but I definately think he needs to appear, establish himself and his hate for Superman, and use him accordingly.

Personally, I would prefer Lex to be a major supporting character/villain for the first two films, and if it's a trilogy that's being shot for here, conclude the third film with a Supes/Lex confrontation that's been brewing since the first film. Superman vs. Lex Luthor in Warsuit armor perhaps?

Amy Adams (Doubt, Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny, The Fighter) has been cast as Lois Lane in the upcoming "Superman" reboot.

Seems like a great choice.

She'd make a better Lana Lang.

She'd make a better Lana Lang.

Absolutely. I dont find her attractive at all, but thats not a knock to her acting chops. Enchanted was quite the movie!

That being said, I like Kate Beckinsale as Lois Lane. Right look, and she can hold her own. But now that thats not gonna happen, how about WB puts her in the WW costume?

...SOB its a reboot?! ARGH! Series does NOT need a reboot, it needs a kick ass sequel. Reeves' Superman is totally epic and PERFECT.

[TokyoVigilante]

The entire Superman franchise has been struggling because it's so hellbent and refuing to break up with the Reeves Superman.

I for one am glad they're letting it go and starting fresh. They need to move on.

Its struggling because the writing is horrible. Superman II The Richard Donner Cut, Superman III and Superman IV The Quest for Peace are very light. Superman Returns has solid writing but they mis-cast Spacey so hard...

I totally agree with this.
Superman Returns was boring for a Superman movie made in the time it was. That movie shouldve been a spectacle to behold, instead of a love letter to Richard Donner.
And SuperKid......no skreeonk Way.

And not because it's referencing and in love with a film that isn't really relevant anymore to a modern audience.

Why didn't Nolan just make a sequel to Tim Burtons Batman?

[Tyler]

Superman Returns should have been a skreeonk reboot. The Donner film(s) are great, but it's time to move one and do more with the comics. Give Luthor his damn power suit! I'm sick of him being an evil landlord.

But this is gonna suck anyway because of Snyder's meddling.

[King-Ghidorah]

Never would have thought of Amy Adams for Lois, but the more I think about it, the more I actually dig the casting. Never seen her in anything other than "The Fighter", but she undoubtedly can play headstrong and feisty. Which are two very important Lois Lane traits.

Unlike Superman Returns, I certainly hope to see reasons and examples of why Clark finds Lois so appealing. As Kate Bosworth's portrayal certainly had none of that.

Looks like General Zod is gonna be the villain: http://movies.yahoo.com/news/movies.reu ... ie-reuters

Personally, I'm not surprised that they went with Zod. I really wish we'd get a different villain like Brainiac or maybe Parasite for a change.

Everybody, what are your thoughts on this?

Oh boy. A repeat of the first f'n movie. Yay.

At least we better hear "kneel before Zod!"

[DaikaijuSokogeki!]

Ugh. It's like moviie studios don't know any other villains besides Luthor and Zod exists. Next, we'll be seeing Nuclear Man in one of these films.

Seriously, where's Brainiac? Bizarro? Anyone that has never been adapted for a Superman movie before?

[King-Ghidorah]

I like Shannon, so I'm looking forward to seeing him as Zod.

Though at the same time, I certainly wouldn't mind seeing Metallo or Parasite appear as a supporting villain as well. Luthor is a must. If even just to establish his presence, character, and feud with the Man of Steel.

Zod was the villain in the second movie...

[Hellspawn28]

You could say the villain in the 3rd movie was pretty much Bizarro. Brainiac was the original choice for the 3rd film, and the Superman Lives project from the 1990's. They where never used since the studio feel like that they can not be fit into the story.

Better then having Doomsday for the first film.

You are right. I now totally accept this film having a pre-used villain because Brainiac and Bizarro were PLANNED for other films, but weren't used, dating back over 20 years ago.

[Hellspawn28]

I don't think it was mention that Zod is the main villain. They could throw much bigger and more evil villain as the main villain like Darkseid. I rather have Darkseid or Doomsday for a sequel.
