Some of you may know that in the late 90s, Warner Bros. cast Nic Cage to play Superman in a movie called "Superman Lives." Tim Burton and Kevin Smith were attached to the project at various points, but ultimately it was part of basically a decade of disastrous Superman movie projects that never got off the ground. This was all pre-Nolan Batman, when WB had no idea what the fuck it was doing with these franchises.
Anyways, Superman Lives was an insane project (google it), but here is some behind-the-scenes footage in case anyone was every interested in seeing what might have been.
