Is Bryan Singer Going to Direct the Next Superman?
November 19th, 2008
Ever since he rebooted the Superman franchise with Superman Returns, people have wondered if Bryan Singer would be directing the sequel, tentatively titled Superman: The Man of Steel. Well, MTV had the chance to talk to the director about his upcoming Tom Cruise-starring Valkyrie, and they asked him about the next Superman.Singer's answer? Well, let's just say it was maddeningly vague.
"At the moment I can't really talk about that," said Singer. "I wish I could. From my perspective I'm going to take a brief pause. Valkyrie has taken a long time so I'm going to take a pause. A movie like that takes some time to do right. That's all I can say about that."
Singer was, however, able to relate a cute anecdote about a dinner meeting he had with the director of another of Warner Brother's superhero properties - Christopher Nolan, the director of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.
"We had dinner, and [Marvel Studios founder] Avi Arad ran into us. Isn't that strange? It was such a moment," Singer said. "The three of us were just sitting there thinking, 'Isn't this bizarre?' I should have called [Spider-Man director Sam] Raimi up and said, 'We've got sushi. Get over here!'"

And I think it's time to announce who the f is writing the script already. Singer was good directing Supes, just leave him out of the story aspect. He was terrible with telling a story, and please keep the entire cast of supporting characters or pull a TDK and recast Lois Lane. Other than that and the fact that they want to make this one darker, I think this one will be way better than "Returns." I agree with VISIONARY however.

JK, but I do wish they would publish something definitive about whether or not the movie is happening. At least we know that Singer and Nolan were having a meal together. Now, who could have set that up?
Better than Singer's bloody romance and kids themes...
Or, I reckon Kingdom Come The Movie
There's an older more mature Superman
