Re: Superman Returns Teaser Trailer....
I don't buy that. I honestly think that Superman is the most interesting superhero, in the rare instances when he's written well. He's a guy who can do pretty much anything he wants to do, and he chooses quite simply to do everything he can to end human suffering, which is not actually his problem. In this way he's the purest symbol of selflessness. A lot of people argue that Spider-Man with his everyday problems or Batman with his mortality are more relatable, but they're just watered-down imitations of Superman, made more relatable by way of their being less iconic. Any character is only as good as the writer, but Superman is THE ORIGINAL superhero. There's really no competition.

In Bryan Singer's hands, I'm sure the movie will be great.
