Superman Reboot
Flush with the success of “The Dark Knight,” Warner Bros. has announced an ambitious slate of upcoming movies based on its DC Comics properties to be released within the next three years — notably a third Batman movie and a Superman reboot, according to The Wall Street Journal.
‘Superman’ didn’t quite work as a film in the way that we wanted it to,” Robinov said of Singer’s movie, which made just $215 million domestically. “It didn’t position the character the way he needed to be positioned,” he continued. “Had ‘Superman’ worked in 2006, we would have had a movie for Christmas of this year or 2009, but now the plan is just to reintroduce Superman. We’re going to try to go dark to the extent that the character allows it.”
In addition to a “Batman 3″ and a new “Superman,” Warner Bros. also plans to release two other comic book movies (not including “Watchmen”) by 2012. Among the likely candidates for the big-screen treatment are the Flash, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and, of course, the Green Arrow, whose film, “Super Max” takes place in a high-security prison for meta-humans. - MTV
