Should this be a continuation or a reboot?


If Flashpoint changes DCEU, retconing the events of MOS, BVS and JL.

Looks like it's going to be a complete restart of the franchise - AGAIN.

For one it would be several years too late to capitalize on MOS.

Reboots/remakes can work but there usually isn't a good reason to reboot.

Personally another Superman film with Cavill is not gonna happen.

sequel

Just recast him with a different actor at this point. Make him the DCEU version of what Marvel's done with the Hulk. He appears from time to time.

reply

Problem a recasting is something that fans don't want. You see Superman has been played by numerous actors, recasting can work as seen with James Bond and Jack Ryan.

reply

Fans can take it or leave it at this rate. They're in no position to be picky.

reply

Reboot, but not an origin story.

Just have a new Superman pootling around on Earth, and pretend the Snyder films never happened.

reply

Perhaps a reboot with an Earth One inspired suit which is the classic suit with seams and yellow piping around the \S/.

reply

All likelihood a reboot like Matt Reeves' Batman.

reply

It should go back to the pre-woke, pre-psychologically-tormented Superman of the original Christopher Reeve movie, which reflected the tone of the comics of that time. All this dark, miserable, tortured superhero crap has grown tiresome.

reply

Likely to be Christopher Reeve inspired if we ever see a proper movie which is still gonna be a long time, to this day there's no talk, there's no interest or any wheels turning in trying to get another Snyderverse/DCEU Superman movie out, in all intents and purposes the mixed to negative receptions of BVS and JL have killed all hopes of a MOS 2 for the foreseeable future.
