I wouldn't put it past Abrams to help level-set for the character. He is excellent at starting things but not so good with following through. I am glad that Superman isn't simply going to fade away. It took me a long time as a comic book reader to embrace the spirit of Superman. I had some respect for the character but, I avoided him for years because he seemed boring and unrelatable. When I finally did have that breakthrough moment with the character (with John Byrne's Man of Steel revamp), Superman seemed almost magical. Until someone can do that again for me, I don't think I'll pay much attention to what happens with the character. And the sad truth is, while I do still like the character, I'm not too fond of his fanbase. I think they're mostly immature neckbeards and wannabe gym rats who have no idea what the character truly represents. I've read and seen my last Superman story, and that's not a bad thing. It's a good thing. He will remain as I remembered him forever - good at his core and righteous to a fault. It's up to the new generation to decide what they want him to be for them.

A reboot with the same actor? This studio is so confused The article doesn't even say that. It only mentions Cavill once, to effectively rule him out.

Cavill...
I didnt like his Supes but the problem was not his acting. It was the writing.

I can understand his loyalty and attachment to the role, but that first outing, Man of Steel was the only one that did his career any good, but he seriously needs to start distancing himself from the DCEU. He's where he's at otherwise largely because of other roles he's taken these days, because God knows BvS and Justice League didn't (and won't) do anything for him.

Have you heard of a show called The Tudors? Henry was doing fine before Man of Steel. He damn sure is doing fine after with The Witcher. I think he will be OK if Superman doesn't happen. Plus Superman is not the only movie he has been in.

I'll give MoS the benefit that it helped propel him into being a bigger presence on the big screen, at least faster than how it might have otherwise happened.

I am sure The Witcher is keeping him busy lol I personally think he should be bigger in movies and show he is more than just Superman or only good for action movies.

I'm not sure why we seem to be arguing here.

That said, I do hope this all means Cavill is finally just walking away from the DCEU like he should have the instant he realized BvS wasn't getting the positive feedback they all hoped for.

What a joke WB is becoming! Getting rid of Cavill, replacing him with a black Superman and giving it JJ Abrahams to ruin like he did to SW and Star Trek. Its like a bad dream

I'm not even the biggest fan of that movie (but I do like it and immensely respect it), but those old Christopher Reeve films at least WANTED to be Superman movies. Man of Steel and likely this will both have this aura of shame of being about this character hovering over them.

Me being such a fan of that character as a little kid it just knocked my socks off. I said from the beginning that if they were going to redo it it better be awesome and they did drop the ball. Story wise and character wise. Man of steel did not define the characters or any of the relationships between the characters and it left me feeling like I didn’t get to know them at all.

Twice now they've dropped the ball. They couldn't make Superman Returns stick, and Man of Steel exists in a world that wants Superman, but the people responsible for the character don't want to give us Superman.

You know, there is a preexisting character that could solve some of their problems without causing a big ruckus. He even has a sidekick. I mean they're already planning a Static Shock movie why not use more Milestone characters?

Its like a bad dream Exactly....dont make Superman black... Why dont they make a John Stewart movie instead? Michael B. Jordan would be perfect for that. Now he's been brought up, Zack Snyder said in an interview that WB told him not to use John Stewart for the Snyder Cut since they had plans for him and wanted to announce it. I guess we'll hear about that eventually...
