Think Wink.

The kind folks at IGN.com have put together a list of 10 things that need to be done when Warner Bros. reboot the Superman franchise sometime in the near future. Let me be frank first and say that I m one of the three people who actually liked Superman Returns. It was a classic Superman movie that really followed in the footsteps of the 1970’s original film. But in my opinion, that was its fatal flaw, and the little boy who is Superman’s son and Superman apparently is a naughty boy–he must really stand up for the “American way”! However I love the scene where Superman and Lois are hovering above the earth midway through the movie and the conversation they have. That and the mega-nods to the Messianic nature of Superman and how much he embodies Christ. I find the following list to be a good list and Warner Bros. should heed this advice.

1. A Worthy Set of Villains
2. An Actor Who Can Embody Superman and Clark Kent
3. A Willingness to Diverge From Past Projects
4. A Healthy Respect For What Came Before
5. Maturity Without Being “Dark”
6. No More Super Kid!
7. No Rehashing the Origin
8. A More Believable, Complex Luthor
9. More Showcases of Superman’s Power
10. Keep John Williams, Please

I agree with 1, 5,6,7, 9, 10 the most, most notably 6 and 10. John Williams wrote the perfect tune in the Superman March and he needs to come back to the project for another film. Just take a listen:
