Or will he have a significant origin's change.<br /><br />If the latter is true, this may have a long term payoff (30 years from now may be the accepted norm), but will only serve to confuse casual audiences. In fact if DC plans to alter Superman in a radical way now, why reboot the film franchise that will be in continuity with previously established history?<br /><br />And when will the mega-blockbuster films come out that reflect the new continuity? Won't audiences be confused going to see Batman in 2020, shaking their head at the thoughts of Bruce Wayne being an inner city hoodlum who was picked on for being too short to play basketball?<br /><br />How long will it take for the 50+ years of established canon to be eroded away from pop culture before this is the accepted norm?Bill Permanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536377699212722493noreply@blogger.com
