There was once a man named Jon Peters who made movies. This man wasn't necessarily bad at his job, but neither was he the best. The world of Superheroes eventually came to the movie makers door, Superman, to be specific. Though many find Superman to be a boring character who has outlived himself, the truth is that he stands beside Batman as the literal king of Comic Books.
Peters would work with Kevin Smith to create the movie. He told Smith to include a scene where Superman fought a giant robot spider, something I personally think would be cool. However, as it turns out, Mr. Peters was not at all good at making a Superman film. He requested that Lex Luther own a space dog which would sell the film to kids, give Brainiac a gay robot sidekick, and have the popular villain fight a pair of Polar Bears. He then decided that he also didn't want Superman to wear a costume, and chose Sean Pean as a suitable actor because he knew he could portray a ruthless killer very well. Oh, and he wasn't allowed to fly.
In other words, Jon Peters should never be allowed to make any more movies. Yet, for some reason they let him work on Superman Returns...that explains a lot.
Now, I have a lot of unhealthy obsessions, but when you try to put a giant spider into every film you ever make, I foresee a problem. He tried to do this with The Sandman.
Well Jon Peter's an idiot, though so is the guy who gave him the opportunity to work on a superman movie, dear god those are all terrible ideas he had.
