Superman has be redone and changed so many times since he was created. And this movie isn't a remake even, it's a new Superman story. It's about Superman returning to Earth after seeing Krypton. Batman Begins was a retelling of Batman but it was needed since Burton did such a great job of going over the top and making Batman look like a goof in his 2 movies. He took the Batman that had finally gotten serious after 50 years and turned it into a circus. Then in part 2 he turned it in Beetlejuice.
Besides, making new movies with comic book characters is fine. It's when you remake real movies that it becomes stupid. Like if someone tried to remake Forrest Gump.

Rumours for years that they're going to do Gump 2.
I don't feel Burton was the one who harmed Batman, I think the first two movies yes weren't dark but they were both good. The third and fourth movies were the shitty ones that caused the damage.
I don't mind them making new movies based on old characters or sequels, I just get pissed when they remake the exact same fucking movie. Oceans 11 for instance. While it was a great movie, it had already been done. Oceans 12 was a joke, too killing my 'sequels are alright' argument.
Javier:
Here are some cool movies that have been remade, IMO
-Angels in the Outfield
-Vanilla Sky
-Cape Fear
-Gone in 60 Seconds
-The Mummy
-The War of the Worlds
I havent seen it but a lot of people really liked Charlie and the Chocolate Factor. You really have to eliminate the not so good ones when it comes to remakes, but hey thats pretty much with any type of film

I'm not even sure that my adversion is to remakes, just to the lack of original movies. I would be fine with them remaking older movies, as long as it was an appropriate part of their release schedule... but shit anymore it's like 80% of movies are either sequels or the exact same movie as something that came out in the 60's.

My qualms with Burton's Batman was it was very quirky compared to what Frank Miller and Allan Moore were doing in the comics. They reinvented Batman and then Burton comes in and talks about how he was pating tribute to the new dark Batman, but it was nothing like the work he was "inspired" by.
And a Gump sequel wouldn't piss me off. A gump remake with some new actor like Orlando Bloom or Ashton Kutcher for the sake of a cash grab would really get on my nerves. Just like how the new Ralph Kramden played by Cedric bothered you and me both.
