This movie was going to star Nic Cage as Superman, Chris Rock as Jimmy Olsen, and according to Kevin Smith was supposed to have Brainiac fighting polar bears in the Fortress of Solitude.

Whenever I read the words Electric Blue, all I can think of is this. At least now, I won't be alone.

originally john peters (the intended producer) wanted superman to have guards at the fortress of solitude.  but settled for brainiac "rasslin" polar bears.

See this is why someone like Burton is almost to creative for a job like Superman. He won't stick to what Superman is, he would have to feel like he had invented Superman to satisfy his ego.
