Because the other ones were out of date and to old for anyone to want to watch but I thought the smallville series is brilliant and I would recommend it to anyone who likes romance drama and action there is a great story line and very romantic
They are currently doing everything they can to get the Superman reboot into production so they can hopefully keep the rights they still have.
"Man of Steel"
Amy Adams
He was originally going to in the sequel to "Superman Returns" that Bryan Singer had hoped to have released by either 2009 or 2010- but that movie was scrapped after Warner Bros. decided to completely reboot the series and Routh has stated in interviews that his contract has now expired. A reboot is being planned for release in 2013 meaning every character is being replaced with a brand new cast.
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.
"Superman would win based on the facts that he has the strength to move planet earth from its obit and durability that allows him to survive exploding planets." That would be post crisis, pre reboot superman. Many other versions of superman exist and who wins depends on which version you are talking about. Post-reboot superman got pwned by a bullet train, while silver age superman pulls galaxys around, for example.
The main reason why they rebooted the superman series is probably because they wanted to make a superman movie before making a justice league movie so that he is incorporated in it.
The IMDb page says it is coming out in 2013.
The last one to be released in theaters was "Superman Returns" starring Brandon Routh, but a reboot titled "Superman: Man of Steel" starring Henry Cavill is currently being planned.
It was a reboot called "Man of Steel" and was released on June 14, 2013.
Turn it completely of and then back on
Unplug your cable box and plug it back it. It just needs to reboot.
