Superman’s tough. Any Superman movie is going to be compared to the Christopher Reeve classics, and probably come up short. They tried going for touchy-feely comic-booky with Superman Returns (which I actually liked quite a bit) and it didn’t do so well. So now they’re trying for ultra-godlike Alex Ross why-hast-America-forsaken-me stuff. It sounds like DC got the message that grim just isn’t much fun. Fingers crossed that Justice League will have that comic book mojo. Quite frankly, if I was DC, I’d look back at the Timm/Dini Justice League cartoon to get a handle on the right tone.
