It would be unlikely Abrams would use the same script. Too much flak and criticisms around that. #superman

Waaaay back when Moriarty over at AICN reviewed the script and the furor it created was intense.
Now if Abrams kept the really fun parts with Superman and Lois (the only highlight of his script) and drops the completely stupid reworking of the mythology of the character then people might get behind it.
Here's the review that killed Superman.

EDIT.
I can't get the '.pdf' direct link to work here so just go that site and browse to "Superman (J.J. Abrams)" for to open up the file on Adobe.

It will actually make you appreciate Superman Returns more than you did or didn't before... #superman

I think Christopher Nolan with a Grant Morrison script could work.
Or how about, Terry Gilliam with a Grant Morrison Script.

Anyways Nolan would probably just turn Superman into a guy who works out a lot.

I want to see Lars Von Trier's Superman, where Supes goes insane with his guilt for being so "superior" and in the end accepts it and decides to fulfil his facist origins by dictating the entire planet. Bjork as Lois Lane - wow, I just imagined how effed up that might be... *_*} #superman

No!! what?!
The unified field theory is sound! IT IS!!!!
oh wait... no it isn't... #superman

It would be especially attractive to the studios since all he would need is a stage and just have the actor playing Superman wear a name tag with the "S" logo on it. #superman

The only upside is that script would have to be trashed because so much of it relied on Krypton, which WB has now lost. Heh-heh-heh.

Also it was a first draft, and now after reviews they can easily change things now #superman

Wow, you really are angry
(Not that I disagree, at least about the turd part, I don't know anything about that JJ script) #superman

How strange that a turd could be found in the Internet, right? #superman
