Bryan Singer Confirmed to Direct Superman: The Man of Steel

Source:  IESB.net
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.

i'm not sure if this has already been mentioned (2,337 are wayyyy too many to go through) but I think Singer will do a great job. He did an amazing job with valkyrie and if he keeps it up the new superman will be unreal.

People just don't know how to spell and the fact that they use computer language way too often. I know how you feel, I don't understand most of them either.

Why can't commenters write a complete and comprehensible sentence? I can't understand 1/32 of these comments. You know what that's like? It's like being in a country where I don't speak the language. Except there is no Incomprehensible to English translator.

i personally enjoyed this film and wouldnt mind seeing another, however im my opinion the sotry does need to be amp up quite a bit. the acting was good directing and even the costume in my opinion kinda A modern touch, but the story needs more

since they already SHAT on the first one, what the hell are they going to do with this?
SUPERKID thing was so unnecessary! Just bring METALLO or BRAINIAC and have some full on fist fights! Learn something from B.BEGINS, or even the shitty SPIDEY 3! At least it had action!

Wonderful news of bryan singers return to the superman franchise, however i hope this new film will be a better one than the last, I have the greatest respect for brandon Routh's performance in the last movie, i think he was very good. Kate Bosworth's Lois Lane was stiff and wooden, i hope she will be replaced.

One more thing note to the costume department, drop that awful superman outfit.

Obviously it doesn't matter at this moment if you liked Superman Returns or Singers take on it. There is much palaver over how Superman should reboot and be more like other movies. In which, some movie makers do that sort or thing, but they lose authenticity. Superman Returns was great because it simply wasn't just about Superman, but marriage, family-life, humanity, and several other things meant to conjure opinions. It is more than just action, I thought it was a well-balanced film, and another one will be made. I think that is great. I like Superman. But, I do agree that Spacey wasn't the best Luthor. However, his performance didn't distract from the overall contents of the film.

What are your guys' impressions of Superman? I hear a lot of complaints about "unfaithful to the character" but, what/who is the character, to you?
