Why was Jimmy Olsen SUPERMAN's best friend? Why'd he give him that watch? Talk about the different tellings of Lois Lane? The war time years of Superman. The camp years of Indian Headdresses and fat phonebooth issues. What do the various shades of kryptonite do? If you're a real fan, why are you not doing a Bizarro story like everyone with a brain would want to see happen? Who beat who when Ali took on Superman? What was Comet the Super Horse's secret? Who dated Lois' sister and what was her job? Ya know... It's amazing what you can talk about when you have more than one issue and they're not behind glass.

Folks, these changes and the sheer arrogance of this thing just piss me off to no end. I mean there are screenwriters out there that know this material like the back of their hands, and you give it to some "hot" fucking TV show writer to fucking reimagine? There is a reason SUPERMAN has lasted as long as it has, because there were simple elegant truths to the character. He's an orphan, unique in all the universe, the last of his kind, the one, the only... SUPERMAN.

Why did Lex Luthor and Braniac become the main bad guys to fight Superman over the years? Basic and elemental. It was Brains against Brawn. Hell, I believe Gene Hackman even said that in Richard Donner's version. Don't reimagine this series for the year 2005 - 2010. Make a timeless story that is for the people that first read that book in 1938 and the ones that'll reread that same issue you have preserved on that wall at your house in 2145. THAT's the power of SUPERMAN, THAT is what is in that frame. A timeless tale of a man that was more than a man.

Ratner... Warner Brothers... If you ask real fans about SUPERMAN and you get them talking you'll find out 4 very simple truthful things.

1. Best Moving SUPERMAN anything was done by Max Fleischer.

2. Most Consistent Moving SUPERMAN storytelling was the WB animated television show.

3. Richard Donner's film was almost perfect.

4. Best Artist to ever render SUPERMAN is Alex Ross. Followed quickly by Curt Swan.

Those are the most popular tellings of the stories ever in a medium outside of Comics. The reasons are that they were faithful to the stories as laid down in the comics. Completely true to the spirit and the dream that Superman has given us since his debut in 1938.

Organizing these petitions are good, but organizing mass protest days across from WARNER BROS is better. Working with Comic Shop Owners and having them cease ordering SUPERMAN COMICS till they set this right. Cancel your subscriptions. Tune out of SMALLVILLE. Just drop all interest in SUPERMAN other than petitions, letter writing and physical protests. SUPERMAN isn't the property of Warner Brothers nor did they create him. Superman is in our comic collections, decorating our rooms and talked about by us.

If you run a film website, just cease covering SUPERMAN after you organize your readership to protest. An absence of press the scariest thing. Just turn your backs on the property. Don't cover the casting stories. Until they get back to telling the story of SUPERMAN - they don't exist.

Until we hear this draft is radically changed, don't give them the time of day. There are faithful adaptations to support. LORD OF THE RNGS, HARRY POTTER, SPIDER-MAN. Where they nail the spirit, the tones and the intentions of the original material. Where they respect what has come before and choose to make their films to honor that tradition.
