Well, he wouldn't do it anyway, unless Johnny Depp plays Superman and Helena Bonham Carter plays Lois Lane.

James Cameron would be awesome, but that has a 0.001% chance of happening.

I just don't think Michael Bay + Superman = what I want. He's good at action
I guess, but should Superman be all action?

Well, I guess if Millar's pitch is going to be a more action-packed story,
then perhaps Bay can do it again. I dunno though, I just would rather see a
better director at the helm.

Michael Bay lacks a certain, shall we say "nuance", when it comes to film. He can make things blow up like nobody's business, but he has a much harder time with the emotional aspects of a film...

I said it the other day, Hollywood is focusing on everything Frank Miller and Mark Millar, as these guys have the beat as to whats fresh, whats going on, and what the masses want to see. This could only be good. REALLY good... this could move it up a notch to the likes of Ironman and Batman good... I have two questions....
1) I dont get your reference of "Let’s hope it’s not Michael Bay right?" Why not? Michael Bay doesnt make a good movie? Transformers wasn't the queen , i understand that , as not much is, but he does a pretty good job with all I've seen so far...
and
2) IS IT FRAKKIN OUT YET!?!?!?!?!?!

This is definitely interesting news although I'm a bit of a skeptic at the moment. I'm not sure if the studio is really ready to try to reinvent the franchise again so soon. Still, after the last film, they might just be willing to gamble.
