Superman Trilogy, Filmed LOTR Stlye

Well man of steel fans, It looks like your dreams may come true. Mark Millar, director of this summer's Wanted, has shown intrest in making a Superman trilogy. Not only that, but he plans to pull a Peter Jackson and film them all back to back. /Film tells us:
“I’ve had this plan for like 10 years for a big three-picture Superman thing, like a big Lord of the Rings epic, starting over from scratch again with a seven-hour Superman story. And hopefully release them one year after another,” said Millar. “If it works out, we’ll have to start shooting next summer.”
I think this is definitely the road WB wants to go down. Many people are grumbling about how Superman Returns' weak box office performance shows how people don't want to see a new Superman movie. But they're wrong. First of all, that movie made $200,006,305 in the box office. When has that been considered weak? Also, the reason people didn't flock out to see it like they did with Batman is because, unlike The Dark Knight, Superman Returns wasn't particularly good (in my opinion). A three part Superman movie would be great, as long as they don't make him all dark and brooding. Batman broods, Superman winks.
