Yes. Thats Exactly what it is. Also some, like myself, have seen a lot of bad remakes, so I'm a little reluctant to see a TV Show/Movie I loved in its original form get remade. But Fortunately I haven't seen any bad remakes in a couple of years (The Last was The Dukes of Hazzard. WTF?)

But in the case of Superman I think it should be updated, But perhapes intergrate what has been done in the past( Ex Smallvile brought back the 1978 version of the Fortress of Solitude) I don't think an origin story should be done however because everybody knows Superman's Origin. If they have to show an Origin it should be done in the opening credits(Ex The Incredible Hulk 2008).
