"SUPERMAN (FLYBY) | The Greatest Trilogy Never Made?"



I think I would have given this thread another title if I knew these videos were going to cover this much ground on failed Superman movie projects.

Pausing at 21:00 before bed.

But let me say that, yes, the threats and vitriol that I clearly remember fans making in response to the Abrams script leak was WAY out of line. Obviously, you don't threaten other people just because you dislike a movie script.

And yet... not once did anybody refer to the fans as "toxic" or "man-babies" or "racists". Seems like the Hollywood people had a thicker skin back in those days.

Since this thread was made for discussions about various cancelled Superman projects, here's a fun time capsule where Wizard Magazine casts a Superman movie in 1996.

Given that I don't see a specific thread for the cancelled 2004 Wolfgang Peterson "Batman vs Superman" flick, I'll just place this here.

John Hartnett's audition photo as Superman.

I'm assuming circa 2003...?
