Contrary to Litle Shaver's post, it was not Burton who didn't like Kev's script, but Warners, who called it "terrible". Burton just rewrote it. And Burton says "it was probably too dark for their tastes".
Kevin took most of the blame for the whole thing falling through, though.
At present, according to insider gossip, Jon Peters, producer of Batman, has read a new draft by William Wisher Jr (13th Warrior) which is apparently "sans tights and more Matrix-like). Also, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Oliver Stone is perusing the script, too.
So we may not see 'KEV's Superman' but we may see a Superman of some description in the not too distant future.
