    May I say I completely disagree, Burton is an Emo freak who would've Gothified Superman, painted his nails black and have him smoking pot. Also, Nic Cage, and I did like him in The Weatherman, but he is extremely ugly, extremely skinny and extremely bald, to play Clark Kent, a handsome, jacked alphamale from Kansas, did I mention Nic Cage is ugly? I mean super ugly, ugliest actor alive, followed by Keanu.

It would of given Clark something hinting to His Kryptonian origin without spelling it out clearly for Him and I like how K would be able to morph, eventually becoming the suit Superman wears upon being brought back. Great concept I'd like to see another writer use.

    It sounds like Kevin Smith's script was pretty awesome as it was. That was the reason Nic Cage wanted to do the movie in the first place, and since he was responsible for bringing in Tim Burton, I don't know why he would have let Burton fire Smith and then hire the guy who helped him to ruin "Batman Returns". I don't understand why people keep thinking that Tim Burton would make a good comic book superhero movie director. As much as people complain about Peters, it sounds like his ideas for the first Batman movie were some of the best scenes in the film. The iconic alley sword fight and the gothic cathedral at the end of the movie were things that I remember most (aside from Nicholson's Joker performance).

    As a 40 yo I never understood why I stopped/never started watching big universe superhero movies after the 90’s. I love superheroes and the comic created universes. Really enjoy the escape into brutal realities where the disparity of power includes natural, or artificial, abilities. I’ve found myself listening to audiobooks consistently for the past 15 years (yes pre audible and torrented to which I feel guilty). Also, not a huge Cage fan but damnit he really would have portrayed an outworlder so well. Also, while not a fan (due to the nat. treasure franchise) dude commits. Been watching a few of the yt uploads recently and realizing how much my developmental teen years were pushed away from superheroes. I knew, from my older brothers and my own reading, what superheroes were. Flawed, destructive, brutal, petulant and f’ing awesome. The current superheroes are so darn flat. Not hating, just can’t enjoy the characters currently in the largely accepted universes everyone watches today. There are a few dirty pleasures, so feel free to criticize lol. First season of Heroes, a couple Wolverine movies, plenty of anime/cartoons that are comic or manga adherent, the Boys, the one with the blue dude and the Rorschach mask, Edward Norton as hulk (possibly should be ashamed of that one:), smallville first 2 seasons, Deadpool (spl?) makes me laugh, and I’m sure several others. Anyway, loved the video, appreciate the history, and thanks and all that. Cheers.

    Tyler hoechlin plays Clark Kent beautifully. He not only has the duo personality but it seems so genuine because it’s not just black and white. His Clark is nerdy but also has scenes standing up for himself and family almost scary like. And his Superman is everything you’d think superman is, strong but caring. Honestly my favorite rendition on supes.

    For me Christopher and Henry are the gold standards. Tyler doesn’t have the whole superman look. Something about his face and body that doesn’t give me that vibe. He definitely doesn’t have Henry’s sculpted body and face lol but I don’t know why I like him as TV superman. He is very cute and charming but he can be scary too. And he is a very good actor. I stopped watching the show cause it got depressing and he doesn’t have that many scenes as Superman 😢 prior seasons he had a lot to do but now is sidelined

    man i really want to see nic cage as superman, even now. after the flash had him battling that giant spider, make that into a full movie please. some of the original ideas they had in 98 sounded badass and some (the idiot producer had) sounded horrible, just take the best ideas of them and i'm sure that producer isn't around anymore, they can make that movie now, nic cage even named one of his sons Kal-El and had a million dollar comic book collection, he has always wanted to play superman as of now he has voiced superman in teen titans go movie (he was only in it for about a minute and his flash cameo which lasted for about a minute), give us the whole nic cage superman movie please it will be awesome for sure.

    The thumb nail image is incorrect. That was Henry's original suit for superman flyby. They showcased it in a video, and the viewers got it wrong. The guy said it was the superman lives suit, and it wasn't. The final main suit for lives can be seen, and it resembles more of an 89 batman style.
