Superman Reboots

Updated August 28: BR.C forum members have started a petition to bring Brandon back as Superman (assuming he has not been asked back). View it here.

WB president Jeff Robinov spoke to the Wall Street Journal about rebooting the Superman franchise and reintroducing Superman to the public.

"Warner Bros. also put on hold plans for another movie starring multiple superheroes -- known as "Batman vs. Superman" -- after the $215 million "Superman Returns," which had disappointing box-office returns, didn't please executives. "'Superman' didn't quite work as a film in the way that we wanted it to," says Mr. Robinov. "It didn't position the character the way he needed to be positioned." "Had 'Superman' worked in 2006, we would have had a movie for Christmas of this year or 2009," he adds. "But now the plan is just to reintroduce Superman without regard to a Batman and Superman movie at all."

In my opinion, even though we may not see the returns of Bryan Singer, Kate Bosworth, and Kevin Spacey, the chance of Brandon returning to don the red cape is favorable as the search for Superman was difficult. The next month or so should end any speculation about his involvement.
