This is pointless naysaying when the movie hasn't even been released yet!

Furthermore, the trailer looks VERY VERY GOOD.

Your arguments for not wanting a sequel are as follows:

1)  Forgets Superman 3 and 4.

2)  Supposedly Discredits Christopher Reeve.

3)  The "S" in the Superman costume is too small.

4)  Bryan Singer is only doing it for the money, and has no love for Superman.

Let me break the arguments down:

1.  PLENTY of comic book writers re-write comic book continuum and history.  Look at Kingdom Come by Alex Ross:  set in a theoretical alternate DC universe that will never ever be, and yet it is still an engrossing film.  

2.  You are acting like Christopher Reeves LOVED playing Superman and that it was his calling.  Get a grip on reality, man.  He was an ACTOR working for PAYCHECK; it wasn't his religion, so you shouldn't worship the Superman franchise movie like it's a new Zen way of life when they are just movies.  Movies are made to be entertaining and to gross money, not to build a sacred history that no one must absolutely touch.

3.  Singer already explained that in the history of Superman comic books, dating all the way back to the 50s, the size of the "S" has been changed considerably from time to time.  And isn't it a rather uninteresting and moot point, to say that a movie won't be very good simply because the "S" logo isn't exactly drawn to the millimeter that you are used to?

4)  Bryan Singer is a very SUCCESSFUL Hollywood director.  He doesn't need Superman or X-Men to make money.  He could ask Universal for a $200 Million Dollar budget to direct Speed 3, and he could gross as much money as he wanted to.  He is obviously doing the comic book genre for the love of the story.
