What can we say about Superman Returns?  It seems that most people were not crazy about it.  I've seen a lot of bashing of the movie.  I, too, had some issues.  I didn't like that Superman tried breaking up Lois' relationship, especially when for all he knew, Richard White was the father of the kid.  Speaking of the kid, why would they have Lois have a kid?  Also, we can't forget that Superman was basically a deadbeat dad. 

I wouldnt say it was a horrible movie.  There have been worse Superman films.  With these issues and the lackluster box office performance, a sequel was never pushed right away.  Moviehole posted a link to a link (or something like that) of an interview with Routh.  He mentions that The Dark Knight shows that a sequel could be bigger than the previous movie.  He thinks another Superman movie could be done better and improve upon Superman Returns.

Unfortunately for Routh, he may not have the chance to prove that idea.  Apparently his contract with Warner Bros. has expired.  He is no longer the Man Of Steel.  Currently, no one is.  If another movie were to be made, casting would have to take place once again.  Routh does say that he wouldn't "think twice" about taking the role again.  There's no word on if and when another Superman movie will be made.

Did you think Routh did a good job as Superman?  Would you want to see him again or a new actor?  What about Tom Welling?  Should a new Superman movie reboot things and get rid of the superbrat?  Will Superman ever get the respect he deserves?
