Petition

We, the undersigned, are dedicated fans of the character Superman.

We believe that those in charge of Warner Bros Films have disrespected this icon that stands for justice and all that is good.

In response to the interpretation of Superman created by Bryan Singer, that we perceive as portraying our beloved character as being selfish, a stalker, and a dead beat dad, we have joined together with this petition to plead our case that the Superman franchise be restarted from the beginning and placed in the hands of someone who cares about the character and the generations of fans which have supported him, rather than someone who has lucked out in the past on certain films, once and for all placing the character of Superman above corporate greed.

The following are our suggestions and preferences.

1. The writers, producers, and director must all have deep knowledge of the character prior to being hired. The writers should have experience in comic book storytelling specifically about Superman and the supporting characters of Superman comics.
2. The franchise should be built around what made Superman great for generations. Comic films that are made solely for the general public, while forgetting the elements from the comics that fans have supported for decades, will only alienate longtime fans and cause angst. This was proven with the release of Superman Returns. If the story is well written, true to the source material, and the special effects are visually compelling, the general public will see the film regardless. The comic book fans made the character what he is and we will not be ignored any longer.
3. The actors/actresses must not only have the talent to portray their character, but must also have the proper look of the character. As an example, Superman must look like he is in his mid to late 20's, stand between 6' 2" and 6' 5" and have an obvious muscular build and wide frame, not the slim swimmer type Bryan Singer went for, with no need of padding or special effects. When looking at the actor, one should immediately think, "Now, that is Superman!"
