Look Up in the Sky! Its a Bird...

I think they didn't start over because the superman story has been told out in movies, TV shows, comics and cartoons so many times that it'd just be way too predictable... They could have tried to rewrite/edit history like with batman begins, and just thrown some better special effects on it, but meh.

I liked the movie personally, makes the old superman movies look absolutly horrible
