As for the movie, I haven't been paying too much attention. I'll wait till they have their stuff more together and we can see actual trailers and such. The only photos of the actor I've really seen were photoshopped images of his head on Chris Reeve's body. Besides, the whole thing's been through too many revisions to count.
Are you guys sure about continuity, though? I thought they were taking their cue from Batman and starting fresh. Okay, Superman IV wasn't as bad as Batman and Robin. At least the former is watchable and even has its moments. Still, you'd think, especially after all this time, that they'd be better off without that burden of pre-Crisis continuity.
*sigh* I wish. Here's what
Coming Soon has for the plot info:
Following a mysterious absence of several years, the Man of Steel comes back to Earth in the epic action-adventure Superman Returns, a soaring new chapter in the saga of one of the world's most beloved superheroes. While an old enemy plots to render him powerless once and for all, Superman faces the heartbreaking realization that the woman he loves, Lois Lane, has moved on with her life. Or has she? Superman's bittersweet return challenges him to bridge the distance between them while finding a place in a society that has learned to survive without him. In an attempt to protect the world he loves from cataclysmic destruction, Superman embarks on an epic journey of redemption that takes him from the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of outer space.
