I knew you executives from WB just...don't...like...Sup erman...you just don't...I knew you people from your offices never...NEVER...wanted the REAL Superman back on the big screen...you wanted Batman back more than our Man of Steel and why?...because you are SELFISH...you are GREEDY...you have no faith...You're using the DARK KNIGHT's blockbuster results as a petty excuse to sabotage SUPERMAN RETURNS right from the beginning...I knew that you wanted to give Bryan Singer and Co. the boot...but by forcing Superman and DC Superheroes to follow the nitty-gritty template for dishonesty....is just the meanest, disgusting, foolish stunt that you've ever done.....by doing this act....you have proved to the public just how mean-spirited and corrupted you have shown yourself to be....You're doing this because you HATE Superman, you HATE DC Comics other than Batman...there's no question about this because you do.....Well.....I gotta tell ya.....you're going to loose your customers by doing this tasteless act of entertainment.......you'r e going to destroy the integrity of DC Comics...and believe it or not...you're going to destroy your precious BATMAN franchise while you're at it....mark my words, you are playing with fire and it's going to burn your company and your reputation....So I'm asking you...I'm telling you.....Don't destroy Superman....Don't kick Singer and Routh out of this project.....Don't spit on Jerry Seigel's grave......DON'T MAKE SUPERMAN DARK...Because if you make him dark.....you'll make the theatre seats empty...Are you willing to pay that kind of price?
Think about it....just think about it....
Sincerely,

Supporter of the Bryan Singer/Brandon Routh/Superman movement....not the WB movement that has betrayed the public trust
ok check this.......reboot will not be the way to go i don;t think you should recreate what Christopher Reeve had done .... Brandon Routh was the second best Superman If Reeve saw him he would be impressed.
Sure there could be a dark superman but its not the way to go with this franchise. its just not wrong we already got one dark knight we don't need two there opposites for a reason. i promise you i would not watch a reboot. there is no need for it. Continue the story leave every thing to Singer he's a great mind If reeve were alive im sure he would tell Warner to continue what he has worked on alredy .. it would make so much more money then you even know .....leave it alone finish it the way he wants it to be finished..
ok bye bye
I support this petition.
DO NOT REBOOT.. SUPERMAN RETURNS MADE 400 MILLION DOLLARS. I want to know what happens with his son! does louis stay with her fiance? SINGER CMON! the money it made speaks for it self! If you make a reboot i will not watch it. We already know IN DETAIL what happens to him.. we watch small ville. IF YOU MAKE ANOTHER MOVIE THATS A CONTINUATION.. u will get an audience. Please :)
Keep Routh for the Revamp! I totally support this petition!!
And superman can't be dark. If the writers do that they'll turn superman into Batman and we wouldn't want that same type of movie over and ovewr again do we? :-/
I support this petition entirely. Brandon as the Man of Steel, in my opinion, was outstanding. His ability to convey the emotions of the character and film in general with - lets face it- limited dialogue, only cements his skill as an actor. As for Singer's take on Superman, I loved it.
Superman did, and indeed should again, return...
Why would you go and remake Superman? You have introduced a whole new set of players to Superverse and now you're going to ignre that in favor of destroying everything that Superman stands for? And probably using a different actor to do it? Vrandon was perfect in that role and Superman is perfect the way he is. That's why he already has a major fan base. If we wanted crazy raging Superheroes we'd watch Batman, or really bad cg versions of the Hulk. :P BRB!
I loved routH And would haTE not to see another one Done. SUPERMAN RETURNS was awesome. You pEople at warnerS can'T dO a REBOOT.
Note: Put capital letters above together to see special message. Thanks all. ;)
I support this petition. I think Brandon did a good job reviving Christopher Reeve's role and even though I am an overall Dean Cain fan, I think Brandon should be in the next film.
I support this petition. Making Superman "dark" defies everything the icon stands for. Maybe you'd like to have him shoot webs too?! Keep Superman, and Keep Brandon Routh, as they were intended to be!
I support this petition. Superman Returns was everything a Superman movie should be and Brandon Routh was the perfect Superman/Clark Kent. Let Brian Singer work his magic again please!
I support this petition. I mean making Superman Dark? First it was Spider-Man now this? Come on do WB not have any original ideas any more? Come on, think people THINK!
I support this petition. routh is the perfect superman. let singer go "wrath of khan" on the next movie and give the fans what they want; a great superman story with lots of excitemnt and epic battles.
I support this petition. I think Superman Returns was a great movie and a sequel would be even better because its an opportunity to have more originallity as well as respecting the classics. A re-boot will just throw everything out the window!
I support this petition. Routh is still Superman and no one can take that away from him, not even Warner. It would be a huge mistake for Warner to replace him and huge mistake to reboot. You don't realize how lucky you are to have Brandon be Superman and have Singer ready to do a sequel. Sequels are Singer's specialty!
I support this petition. Keep Routh, especially now that he's 3 years older. He's perfect now that he's a little older. Now that Singer established the character development, now he can do some great things. Singer, I'm sure learned alot from doing 'Returns' and what people want to see. WE already have a great foundation and a great cast. Let's go forward with his "Wrath of Khan" sequel. C'mon WB, wake up. If your gonna do a Reboot, must have ROUTH!! Must be more than 3 movies (Doomsday story alone could be 2 movies), must keep original musical score. But honestly, more sequels. Let the 'Man of Steel' be Superman 4.
I support this petition.

Stay true to the character, don't try to cash in on an element of Batman's success that won't work for other franchises.
The reverse happened when execs were upset that Tom Mankiewicz Batman treatment was darker than his work on Donner's Superman.
They are fundamentally different characters. What works for one won't fly with the other.
I support this petition.
Superman is everyone Idol, specially kids. he's the pure good guy. not like Batman, anyway who let their young kid watch Batman? Don't damage Superman reputation. and Brandon Routh is the SUPERMAN.
"BATMAN BEGINS" stayed true to the character, respected the audience, and made a substantial amount of money, which then led to the brilliant, lucrative "DARK KNIGHT". "SUPERMAN RETURNS" recaptured the best of the first two Supes films while amplifying them, made a lotta money, and set the stage for an even bigger film in "THE MAN OF STEEL".
But Robinov is counting profits blindly instead of taking account of the characters or the audience. It's the time-tested stalemate that leads to failure. His skewed outlook only gives us duds like "Superman III and IV", "Batman And Robin", and "Catwoman"...
...all dismal failures that Didn't Make Any Money.
Bryan Singer is like Sam Raimi, Christopher Nolan, and Jon Favreau. He gets the character and the audience and makes great movies That Make Money. Everybody wins. It's simple: Filmmakers create, and accountants only count the rewards.
The last time an exec lost the plot, lost a great director, and made Superman evil, we got "Superman III". Lesson learned yet? Why not remake a success like "Superman II" instead of a failure like "Superman III"? So let's let Singer and Routh do that by taking on Brainiac or General Zod, everybody's happy, and Robinov can sit back and count his Money. Otherwise, he won't make a dime the way he's going. Anybody remember "Steel"?
We want "THE MAN OF STEEL".
I support this petition. WB, don't schumacher the Superman franchise ! But instead, SingeRISE it ! Bring Singer & Routh Back on board ! Thanks for the fans.
I support this petition. Superman Returns was not a bad film by any means. There is plenty of potential left for a sequel, but if you must do a reboot, at least have the respect to keep Brandon Routh in the role.
