This video clip is pretty long at 20 minutes, but it’s totally worth it. Kevin Smith is giving a talk and is asked about his aborted attempt to write a script for Superman back in the ’90s. He was actually hired by Warner Bros, and completed two full drafts before Tim Burton was hired as the director and decided to go in a different direction, which ultimately was never done. But Kevin Smith can sure tell a story, and this one is worth the time invested to watch.

I figured this is somewhat relevant given the upcoming release of Clerks 2 and the recent Superman movie.
