Wasn't there a rumor or quote about Smith possibly being Superman before they made Superman Returns? My knee-jerk reaction was to say "no," but after a moment of thought it became "Why not?" So many super heroes are white, we desperately need some diversity.

That's why I get trades.

And it looks like this post got moved to the impossible to find Fables forum, never to be heard from again…

There's kind of a trend in recent times of science trumping supernatural stuff. For example, lots of vampire movies now are heavily science based, with vampirism being a disease or mutation; and of course, the force from Star Wars is now a measurable count of stuff in your blood, not just "the force is strong with this one."

"A while back, I got the first story arcs for Flash: Fastest Man Alive; the 3rd volume of Wonder Woman that started in August 2006; and the 4th volume of Supergirl that started Oct. 2005; but was really underwhelmed and confused. "

Whoa. You really had no luck with your choices. Supergirl was horrible until the New Krypton event in 2009, Wonder Woman only became good when Gail Simone started writing it in 2008 I think, the fastest man alive was probably the lamest Flash book in a long time. "

Thanks everyone for the replies! 
 
@Emperor Gonzo Noir: So is the All Star universe similar to Marvel's Ultimate universe?

This seems way too soon for a reboot. Not only is Hollywood now just doing remakes all the time, but they are remaking recent stuff! The first movie of a reboot would have to do the origin story all over again. Doesn't it seem like we just saw the origin? High school age is cool, but actors age, so they'd always have the question of recasting over their head.
