Does that mean I will:
A. Be able to pass through walls.
B. Become a Vampire.
C. My car will now go fast.
D. I can now walk through walls.
E. I can now un-hinge my jawbone & eat a dead deer whole.
F. Become Apathetic.
G. Become one with the Roaches.
H. Become very seductive & lure folks with my will.
I. All of the above.
I'd post more, but Id LITERALLY run out of letters in the ALPHABET.

Honestly, theres really no comparison between the thousands of stupid things they've done in Smallville, & the few mis-steps in Superman Returns.
Every flaw in Superman Returns can be corrected in a sequel.
All the retconing in the WORLD couldn't undo the stupidity that is Smallville.

TW4S, I am a Welling supporter. I'd love to see Welling wear the suit, I think it would be awesome! (BIG HAIRY BUTT) not at Rouths' expense. Welling in a potential JLA film or wearing the suit for the last episode of Smallville, yes. But to replace Routh, no. Sorry.

Doubtful. All that time & prep Jor-EL took to save him? Had krypton not exploded Jor-EL would have come to earth to get his son. maybe but it really made him appear dumb. explination, sure. But not a good one. Any guy in the real world who would claim that would get a slap across the face. lol true, but the true Superman wouldn't have left You try creating villains that can take on the man of steel who would last more than 10 seconds I'll admit several uses are absolutely silly, but a few have been quite creative. |

Sorry. its not like WB is continuing with a SR sequel and dumping routh for welling, WB is doing a reboot, hence a new actor is most likely, hence I submit my choice  |

Do you HONESTLY want me to counter the 5 problems that you've listed with Superman Returns against the THOUSANDS of stupid things they have done to RAPE the mythos on that god awful 15 year old Emo girls version of Superman?

Are you honeslty going to try to compare 2.5 hours of a film full of mistakes compared to a show that has 7 seasons worth of mistakes? I respect Smallville for its originality just as much as SR had (some) of its own originality. Although saying SV raped Superman is just as silly as saying giving Superman an illgitimate child and abandoning earth is raping Superman. |

These days, everyone has a source. |

I'll stack letting the character grow with a kid in the midst against making a mockery of the mythos for 7 years ANY day of the week. |

I appreciate your efforts, and in fact signed the petition, but I feel Welling's chance as Superman in a feature film has come and gone. Ideally, "Smallville" would have stuck to its five-year-plan and transitioned into a motion picture after the finale. Now I just don't see it happening. It's entering its eighth season, key characters (more importantly the actors who play them) like Lex Luthor and the Kents have left the series, and any logical transition point from "Smallville" to "Superman" has been passed up in favor of unecessarily extending the series. Honestly, the best we can hope for is a feature length series finale featuring Superman's reveal to the world. That said, I'd love to see this happen and if WB does decide to reboot after all, passing up both Routh and Welling would be ridiculous and fans across the internet and thusly the world would rise up in protest. Also, you seem like the kind of person who'd appreciate my fan trailers, so be sure to check them out: www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=C95D3C867D0B9D01 |

My point being, comparing a tv show that has much more time than a film isn't quite fair. Give singer & co eough time and you'd probably have more to complain about.
kinda how the radio show creating kryptonite and jimmy olsen made a mockery of Superman? How the comics decided to make Superman fly instead of super-jump? All those different colors of kryptonite? How the 60's comics made Superman so invincible they had to create goofy characters and bizzare situations like super-fatso superman and a baby superman flying into a boxing ring and knocking a boxer out? That kind of mockery? Look I get that you think SV is horrible and all, but honestly from my perspective as a Superman fan its all rather petty.
