Notice how, with the rocket ship going from Krypton to Earth, the "DC COMICS PRESENTS" appears betwen panels? That made me think so much of movies. And then it hit me. This would be the perfect Superman movie. That's probably how Waid originally thought it up. It combines everything that various crowds know about Superman, then makes something out of it all that is a little different, but still recognizable as Superman. It's the purest form of him, and I'd take it any day over the Byrne Superman.
Actually, Waid said he wrote it as if it was a big-budget TV miniseries. But I do agree, it would make a great Superman movie, and would be far preferable to the Byrne/Jurgens version we're getting force-fed to us.
