Singer off Supes?
Warner Bros. seems to be stuck in an awkward situation regarding a follow-up to SUPERMAN RETURNS. Clearly they would be interested in making another SUPERMAN movie but I don't think they're convinced they want Bryan Singer to return. Otherwise, why all the he is/he isn't drama? Now more evidence to fuel the fire: comic writer Mark Millar ("Wanted") is saying he was approached by a "very well known American action director" who wants to team up for a new SUPERMAN pitch. Says Millar, "He has huge pull at WB so fingers crossed." Now Millar could be yanking our collective chains and that "well known" director could be Bryan Singer. Or, more than likely, the word has gotten out that Warner Bros. is interested in new ideas for a SUPERMAN film and a guy like Michael Bay (a name I'm completely making up for the sake of argument) called Millar after WANTED and asked him to join their pitch. Keep in mind through all this that Millar got himself into some hot water after generating a story that Eminem was "begging" to star in WANTED. Both Eminem's agent and Universal issues strong denials about the story and it was revealed to be a publicity stunt to get Millar some free press. Could this be another of Millar's stunts to get the SUPERMAN revamp he's been yapping about for years off the ground?

And while Mark Millar created Wanted, which was very entertaining, I don't think Superman would be his forte. And I don't get all the hate for Singer's work on Returns.

I can't be the only one who understood that a showdown with Doomsday wasn't going to happen in this movie! I also realise that the whole son thing only works if you use Donner's version of Superman II, which had Supes and Lois sleeping together in the Fortress of Solitude. As I always say to people who like hating on filmmakers so vehemently (Uwe Boll aside), Either make a better one yourself, or shut the fuck up.

Extra Tidbit: Sam Peckinpah was originally offered Superman. What a movie that would have been.

So who are we to believe someone actually involved in the project or an over zealous writer that was already turned down by WB once before back in Oct. [link]

But I think it's too soon for a reboot, let a few more years go by, get a good writer, a good director and start from scratch

That girl is really not that attractive. She is grossly disproportionate and a butterface.

And I can't think of a single well known action director that can top Singer on a bad day.

I also agree with the comments of ditching Luthor. I want to see Superman beating the living-snot out of someone like Metallo, Parasite or Doomsday; but only if they do the Doomsday/Death of Superman story as a 2 parter, to do a Singer Superman Trilogy.
(BTW - That's the lovely Lucy Pinder up there. A British glamour model.)

Millar apparently is an authority on Superman, but I don't like the idea that he would be manufacturing news to help promote his idea. Surely in thirty years he'll still have that script, and maybe can even still use it.

I'm up for another neo-Superman movie. Just so long as they leave out Lex Luthor (for chrissakes), and the Christ references.
