VIDEO See the doc about the terrible-looking Nicolas Cage Superman movie which was never made

Back in the 90s, Tim Burton was in pre-production on Superman Lives. It would have been an actual real-life Superman movie starring Nicolas Cage as the man in the cape. Yes really, that Nicolas Cage, fresh from his success in The Rock and Con Air but still full of all the crazy we know and love today.

The film was written, it was budgeted, a crew was hired and costumes were being made. Cage was even getting fitted for some really weird looking versions of the Superman suit when finally the studio realised it was a massive folly and canned the project.
