Bryan Singer Confirmed to Direct Superman: The Man of Steel

It has been confirmed that Bryan Singer (X-Men) will return to direct Superman: The Man of Steel, the sequel to Superman Returns. IESB spoke to a source at Warner Brothers who confirmed Singer's involvement.

The story also provides insight as to who may be writing the script. Writers Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris, who wrote Superman Returns, are out. So who is in? Well, the strong possibility is that the film will be written by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman. The duo previously gained notice for their script writing on Transformers.

The pair of writers have apparently had "several meetings" with Warner Brothers regarding the film.

Brandon Routh, who played Superman in Superman Returns, has already confirmed that he will be returning for Superman: The Man of Steel as well.

Superman Returns was fuckin lame! Brandon Routh resembles Christopher reed and thats about it. They should have someone who actually looks strong in the costume. Its SUPERMAN. And they better have a respectable villain in this one.

For god's sake can we please have some of Sups' other villains for a change? I'm a fan of what Singer is trying to do with the mythos, but it wouldn't hurt to introduce Brainiac, Metallo...just someone he can actually FIGHT lol.
