Batman vs Superman?
absolutely Batman – for he's from Earth – that reason alone is enough :P and smartest of all, he doesn't need extra ordinary powers to make things right

Agree they left it at a terrible place to continue a story. Disagree on Spacey. I thought he was an excellent Luthor. If they'd written him as the egotistical billionaire he would have been unforgettable.

He did not do a marvelous job. The thing was riddled with holes and gave them the absolute worst position to go on with the story.
Not to mention casting Kevin Spacey as Lex was one of the worst casting decisions of that year.

Superman Returns was a great film (with some of the most incredible cinematography of any Superhero movie), but it was not the Superman film that should have been made. And that 50 million difference you mention was already in place before Singer had even touched the film, from its years in developmental hell.

I wouldn't have minded if Singer had gotten another chance IF he hadn't given Superman a kid... That leads to SO many problems with the next script:

1. What do you do with this kid? Does he join Superman on his great adventures? WOO HOO!
2. What happens with Richard, the good man that thought Superman's son was his own? Does Superman swoop in, take Lois (who he IS supposed to be with), and raise the son? Superdouche. Do you have him die and have Superman take his place? SuperDouche. Does Lois leave Richard? Superbitch. Does the kid die? Super-tragedy... We got Superman with a kid before we'd ever gotten a Superman movie that remotely resembles the modern mythology.

Inject some Sci-Fi into the franchise. Superman has some great villain that modern people don't know about. Forget the past, take us to the present. No Donner ties, no Williams theme.

And if you can, do the story in Africa from "Birthright" as an introduction to the hero. Because it is The Greatest.

Ends in half a second with Batman lodged under a Buick.

I still don't even understand why Christopher Nolan has to touch Superman.

Bryan Singer did a marvelous job of Superman Returns, in fact his film made approx $18 million more than Batman Begins domestically. Of course it cost approx $50 million more to make but then again this is Superman we're talking about. Someone that shoots fire out of his eyes, carries jet planes and soars through the air.

I still believe Bryan Singer should have been given another chance, but since Warner Bros have to have a sequel by 2011 and Singers potential involvement in the X-Men franchise might prove difficult to make this a possibility, I am just going to leave it as it is and see what Nolan can do with his Midas touch for Superman...
