Superman Reboot?

For me there are few things in this world that can do no wrong, and one of those things is Superman. I freaking dig everything Superman. I have even stuck with Smallville through all this crazy Lana crap just to see Tom Welling finally put the cape on and jet out of there (which he has yet to do).
Variety is now reporting that a reboot ala Batman Begins may be in the works for the franchise. I don't really know what to feel about this. On the one hand, I still don't understand why everyone hated the last move so much, and on the other side I kinda want Superman to be back in the cool pile.
I have been saying it for a while now, no reboot yet. Just do the FREAKING DEATH OF SUPERMAN story already. Seriously guys, there were lines at the comic stores when it happened. Singer and Routh would do a fantastic job at it too. Hell, have Doomsday kill his kid! Then kill Superman! Movie over! No one would expect it! Well, I would, but it would be sweet.
