*BREAKING STORY* — Singer Out of Next Superman – Slice of SciFi

*BREAKING STORY* — Singer Out of Next Superman – Slice of SciFi

I know Bryan Singer didn’t make “Superman Returns” exactly the way a lot of people wanted, but it was still a great movie. And after his promise of more action in the sequel, I think the next film would have blown everyone away. The man knows how to make a film in this genre. To have him leave the project is a depressing prospect.

Singer, none-too-happy about all the stalling for his next Superman film, made his feelings known about the follow-up to “Superman Returns” being put on the slow track in favor of a more youth-oriented “Justice League” movie. Since it too has been placed on-hold until a resolution of the writer’s strike, it is beginning to look like the next Brandon Routh Superman film could be a long way off.

In the comments on that site, someone mentions that Brandon Routh may also leave. If they’re both gone, the franchise is dead. If they do make another film, it will probably be more in the vein of youth oriented pulp, and that – if you’ll pardon the reference – ain’t gonna fly. It might work for the Justice League film (though I have my doubts), but it won’t for a stand-alone Superman flick.
