Christopher Nolan to serve as "mentor" in Superman reboot

How about Darkseid?

+1

yeah!

+ 1 more.

Returns was just about the worst comic movie that I've ever seen.

I really, REALLY disliked Superman Returns, but no way in was it worse than Elektra.

Doomsday as the villain makes sense since his background (original story, not any of the crazy alternate takes on the Superman mythos) is as a weapon that originated on Krypton (in the distant past...blah blah blah).

At least for me over Darkseid, who while a much more badass comic book villain (come on he blasted Batman into the Stone Age) has a way complicated backstory.

Well, there's only so much backstory they can do now seeing as how they only own half of the Superman lore now. Darkseid would take at least 3 movies. Doomsday would be great if you just want to up for 2 hours. Braniac would probably be the best way to go.

Never read DC comics when I was young.

In my case, at least, (can't speak for the other posters who suggested Darkseid) I tend to go more with a character's biggest villain. That was one of my main issues with the Spider-Man films, was that they killed off Norman Osborn in one movie.

Darkseid could be complicated. I agree. Could they do Doomsday RIGHT without doing the whole death and return? If they did the death and return would that take too long for a single movie? Brainiac could be good though.

routh was horrible.

Bosworth and that kid were terrible. Routh and Spacey were great.
