Given complete freedom, Routh may actually have had a different take on how Clark should fumble and Supes should command. Good point. I agree with that.

Routh's a relative newcomer being directed by someone who proved to have a disturbingly fetishistic love of the first Superman, and wanted to recreate that. I refuse to believe Routh is to blame for all the reused dialogue and things of that nature. Personally, I think he did a great job as Clark Kent, it was a lot more subtle and understated. I'd have liked to see more scenes of him as Clark, working with Lois.

But I don't see how you thought the film failed because it tried to remake the Donner film, but then wouldn't change anything about Routh??!! He was one of the main problems with the "remake syndrome" this movie had. Instead of making the character his own, he did a bad impression of Reeve the entire film.

The sequel will probally be brainiac though. I’d actually go for a Darkseid and Brainiac plot.

You must honestly be on crack. Zane is about as believable as a villain as he is an actual human being. He sucks, plain and simple. And this drivel about Brainiac - why is it that every dork that's ever read one or more comics all of a sudden becomes a writer, with his scripts and ideas trumping all others. Basically your story is Superman 3 set in the 21st century, without the comedic "genius" of Richard Pryor. Yuck yuck yuck... Billy Zane? You must honestly be on crack.
