I think that comic book movies are just about the worst kind you can take on if you don't want a lot of stress. Comic book fans are the worst types to have to contend with if you're a director adapting a comic.

I'd rather have rocks drenched in poison dropped onto my nutsack than have to direct a comic movie. It's just nigh-impossible to please us. But there's always massive backlash with every comic movie. Everyone bitched about Batman's costume in Batman Begins, but, dammit, there was logic behind the costume then. The movie, in my opinion, was incredible and it was because of the melding of innumerable elements.

You have to consider the CONTEXT in all of these things and not just take them at face value. The X-Men costumes didn't really look anything like the comic versions, but the movies were still very profitable and critically acclaimed by critics and fans.

I think once you see Superman Returns with the motion and the music and sound effects and narrative progression, the movie will probably please most if not all of the naysayers.

I'm just glad they went with casting an unknown because the iconic nature of Superman is bigger than any individual.
