Superman Returns, Superman: Man Of Steel | featured news

Latino Review has broken the news that David Goyer will write the new Superman movie, to be titled The Man of Steel !

In possibly one of the biggest superhero movie shockers since the last one--when was the Spider-Man reboot, three weeks ago?-- Deadline Hollywood is now reporting that The Dark Knight and Batman Begins director Christopher Nolan has been assigned the potentially thankless task of being the latest filmmaker assigned by Warner Bros. to try to save the "Superman" franchise, in this case in a mentoring capacity to figure out the best way to proceed.

Whatever happens next for the "Superman" franchise, it appears that Brandon Routh won't be wearing that big "S" and cape -- in a new interview, he says his contract with Warner Bros. has expired.

Has Bryan Singer abandoned the Superman movie franchise for "Logan's Run"? And has Warner Bros. approached the Wachowski Brothers about putting together a new Man of Steel trilogy? According to James McTeigue, the answer to both questions is "yes."
