Nicolas Cage's Superman is Here to Haunt Your Dreams

Fanboys are oohing and aahing over the latest Man of Steel photos.

But think back to that magical (Read: fucked up) time Warner Brothers almost let Tim Burton make a Superman movie with Nicolas Cage. Imagine an alternate reality where Zack "I end every sentence with 'Awesome!'" Snyder wasn't rebooting Supes after Bryan Singer. A world where Superman Lives was real.

One picture of Cage in suit wasn't enough to disturb us. Another one has surfaced online and it looks... strangely like Nicolas Cage as Superman. Still trying to find out where it came from – I spotted it on the Super Hero Hype! forums (Thanks to Kal-El.9859).

While we're on the subject, run to Kickstarter and throw some bucks Jon Schnepp's way, if you can. He's making a documentary on the making, and unmaking, of Superman Lives and working to get interviews with everyone from Kevin Smith (a non-issue given his self-admitted "Press whore" status) all the way up to Burton and Cage. His plans are as ambitious to film select films from what would have been Burton's relaunch, had Warner Brothers been run by idiots and given it the greenlight.
