If they're going to come up with a new series, they should put a new name on it rather than trying to cash in on the Star Trek name.

In the case of Superman, there really wasn't an initial coherent vision. Siegel and Schuster came up with a minimal background of a man from another planet with lots of powers. This has been reworked continually since 1938, with patches coming and going, and any attempts at consistency being mainly a result of reader pressure. Star Trek was a developed vision by a specific creator.

And if anything like "Infinite Repetitions of Infinite Crises" was done to the Star Trek universe in order to "reboot" it, I'd expect Gene Roddenberry to come back from the dead and fry the computers of every person responsible.

If I'm a grumpy old man afraid of change too, I'm proud of it.
