Superman and Batman

The Dark Knight did amazingly well in Box Office (check out one of my earlier posts about that) but Superman Returns didn't do as well. Yes, it did kind of well...but...it's Superman!
James Marsden, who played Richard White in the latest Superman film (and Cyclops in X-men), explains why it didn't do so well, according to MTV News.
“One of my favorite films growing up was the Christopher Reeve Superman. Obviously, it was Bryan Singer’s as well. He had great affection for Richard Donner’s movie. [Given 'Returns' debt to that classic film] I was actually baffled by [the fact that it didn’t do that well]. The movie did okay. It did well, but it’s Superman. This is the ultimate superhero."

So how will Warner Bros. turn Superman around? By making him even darker, Warner Bros. Pictures Group President Jeff Robinov said.
"Superman didn't quite work as a film in the way that we wanted it to," Robinov said of Singer's movie, which made just $215 million domestically. "It didn't position the character the way he needed to be positioned," he continued. "Had 'Superman' worked in 2006, we would have had a movie for Christmas of this year or 2009, but now the plan is just to reintroduce Superman. We're going to try to go dark to the extent that the character allows it."

Can't wait to get more news on the next Super man movie titled Man of Steel (not slated for release until 2011). Other than that, The Dark Knight is slated for a DVD release on Dec. 9.
