Singer Admits Faults With ‘Superman Returns’

What’s your favorite reboot? Not Superman Returns? Shocking.

In light of the upcoming reboot to the reboot of a reboot (Zack Snyders ‘Man of Steel’) Singer sat down and admitted his qualms with his own Superman movie, Superman Returns. Bryan Singer, most known for starting the X-Men franchise took on Returns. Returns, while loved by critics did not perform well at the box office. It made money, of course, but it was not huge – kind of like how King Kong just did okay which is completely worse than bombing.

Singer admits he put more romance than action in his reboot because he wanted to get back to the glory days of the franchise but audiences weren’t having it. It says something of the audience rather than the content; adding in romance is not a problem in Superhero movies (See: Kick-Ass, X-Men’s). There are many a problem with Singers Superman but again, at the end of the day, it’s Superman himself who is the biggest disservice to the franchise. Who cares about Superman, anymore? In a world of the Dark Knights and new superhero boys coming to the screen, there’s just no room for the boring Superhero classmate.

I didn’t love Superman Returns. I didn’t care for it at all really. It didn’t offend me, it was just whatever. It’s nice to see Singer admitting some faults with his work though.
