So did you know that? in the 90's Nicolas Cage almost became Superman in a movie entitled Superman Lives, the film was supposed to be directed by Tim Burton and has been canceled only 3 week before going in production but some images are available in a 2015 documentary The Death Of Superman Lives: What Happened?, directed by Jon Schnepp.

Superman Lives plot
All versions of the movie were loosely based on "The Death of Superman" storyline from the comics. The main villain was the alien supercomputer, Brainiac, and he had a plot to kill Superman by simultaneously blocking out the sun and unleashing Doomsday on Metropolis. The plot works, and Superman is killed.

Later in the movie, he is resurrected by K, who acts as his temporary costume, and artificially produces all of his powers.
