Comic book writer Mark Millar continues to expand his brand beyond the printed graphic novel page to the big screen after the success of "Wanted." In an interview with Empire he pitches his idea for a "Godfather" Superman story (About 8 hours worth) that would span the character's life from Krypton to his last days on Earth. Leave it to Millar to take a story to its extreme. (Re: "Superman: Red Son"). Warner Bros. has expressed a desire to make their next superhero film properties darker like "The Dark Knight" even if it threatens to counter the essence of the character.
Dark Superman? Superman noir?
Is this a good idea or should they let the Superman film franchise idea rest a while?
Yes, as long as its actually good. Otherwise don't bother. I'm tired of seeing badly made Superman films
