They thought Bryan Singer had totally missed the point when it comes to doing a story about Superman and now are hoping to try to get the franchise on the same path as the current Batman movies. That is why Christopher Nolan has been hired as executive producer for the Superman reboot and Zack Snyder has been hired as the director because they think he can get it done just right with the little time they have to get it into production before the heirs of Siegel and Shuster take all the rights for the character away.

Would a Death and Return of Superman movie be good?
One had been planned back in the 1990's called "Superman Lives" which was to be directed by Tim Burton and star Nicolas Cage- but the film never got made and the idea was eventually scrapped leading to other ideas that also never got made into films until Bryan Singer finally was hired to direct his story- "Superman Returns" (first Superman movie to be seen in theaters in almost 20 years). There was an animated film called "Superman/Doomsday" released in 2007 about the death and return of Superman. It is probably best to leave it at animation and not do it as live-action with actual actors.
