Tim Burton thought so and that's why it very nearly got madeI had to Google that to work out what the thread was about. Thank God it got cancelled, who would think that Nicholas Cage could possibly make a good Superman? Or indeed a good actor?

Me too. Turned a fair haired 6ft 6in man mountain of an avenging angel into a shallow, unconvincing vehicle for a short arse dark haired pretty boy.As someone who’s read all the books I really couldn’t believe it when I heard.
I also love the Parker novels by Richard Stark, about a hardcore professional heist artist. The many film adaptations have been either decent or terrible depending on the casting of Parker. Lee Marvin in Point Blank and Robert Duvall in The Outfit were great. Mel Gibson in Payback was OK. Jason Staham in Parker was a laughable, risible fucking disaster

He thought it was about a gay secret agent.I did the same with little Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher.

I'd have loved to see his version of it because he wouldn't be subservient to the comic book community about it. It would boil their piss but be a better film because of it.
Great film, and I hate Cage.Watch a film he made “Lord Of War”. One of my top 5 films. Fantastic actor
