In the world of superhero entertainment, there are always projects that never end up seeing the light of day and perhaps the most legendary among them is Superman Lives, a late 1990s film directed by Tim Burton that would have starred Nicolas Cage as Superman while Christopher Walken was rumored to play Brainiac and Courteney Cox and Sandra Bullock were among those considered for Lois Lane.
