Super Box Office

Superman Returns is doing well at the box office.

I haven't seen the film but can imagine all of the arguments that could have been mustered against the project:

  • People already know the story.
  • The movie has been done before.
  • That whole Clark Kent - Lois Lane thing seems tired. Can we get Sharon Stone in there?
  • He seems like another angry white male.
  • How can we make it without Marlon Brando?
  • With the recent films on Spiderman and Batman, hasn't the superhero thing been overdone?
  • So he flies! Big deal.
