Prior to the current Superman pic, there were many names associated with the Man of Steel’s return to celluloid. Names such as Kevin Smith, Gregory Poirier, Johnathan Lemkin, Alex Ford, and Tim Burton had been involved in various scripts of Supes. Normally, I am a huge fan of Burton’s work - but if he had directed Superman, it would have been a disaster of monumental proportions. Burton had cast Chris Rock as Jimmy Olsen, Jack Nicholson as Perry White and (oh God!) Sandra Bullock as Lois Lane.
So for all you Bryan Singer haters out there, better thank your lucky stars this movie was never made. In the meantime, here’s a peak at Tim Burton’s Concept Art for ‘Superman Lives’.
