That article is nothing we don't already know, except that the writer doesn't know the meaning of the word infamous. Superman is famous, not infamous.

ditto. I was confused by the use of infamous. I was like really? Infamous in what form? Sure he had sex without a condom, or maybe it broke, with Lois Lane..but infamous?

The fact that people are now referring to him as Super-stalker.

In-famous is when you're MORE than famous. This Superman, he's not just famous, he's IN-famous

oh yeah...that was fucking weird in Returns. I don't even think Superman would do that in the comics.

Way wrong. Infamous means notoriously evil, or famous for being bad.

Yeah, I'd agree that to some citizens of Gotham, Batman is infamous, but Superman (to my knowledge) has never been hated by the people that live in Metropolis.
He's always been the hero.

I'd like to see a sequel to The Three Amigos!

Would you say you have a plethora of not getting it?

He was talking about this:

Dusty: "What does that mean? Infamous?"
Ned: "Ah, Dusty! Infamous is when you're more than famous! This guy, El Guapo, is not just famous, he's IN-famous!"

Looks like there is not going to be a reboot according to what has been found and released:

I didnt want to create a new thread for this, but this is funny for Supes and Mad Men fans. Maybe we have a new Lex

Just an update from IGN, which got it from Mark Millars blog.

Keep in mind that about half of what Mark Millar says ever comes to pass. Lest we forget Eminem/Wanted or his "Jim Caviezel will be Superman!" proclamation even after Singer had said he wouldn't.

So whatever this new film Millar is working on is with this mystery director? Ok...cuz I want to know who the fuck this director is?

Wasn't Eminem also supposed to be in a modern updated of Have Gun - Will Travel?

Superman on Pause!

Clark Kent's identity is gonna be safe a little longer (at least on the big screen; by the end of friggin' "Smallville" everyone's going to know CK can outrun the local Amtrak - jesus, zip it boy!) - at least until DC flogs a page from Marvel's book and works out a way to distance themselves from Warner.

According to comic-book writer and screenwriter Mark Millar ("Kick-Ass"), the red-blue blur won't be returning to cinema screens anytime soon. Warners have the "Superman" series in a freeze.

Millar had pitched the studio a new "Superman" trilogy (one that had apparently sparked the interest of an unnamed big-time director) - an epic, rather-dark set of films that would resemble Bryan Singer's "Superman Returns" about as much as Miguel Ferrer does cousin George Clooney.

“Warner’s talked to us and a few other writer/ director teams, but things seem to be in stasis right now. As far as I understand, nothing is happening with Superman at the moment and so the director and I are just working on another project. If it happens, great. If it doesn’t, no biggie. [My latest comic] taught me that creating your own stuff can be at least as much fun and you don’t have to answer to anyone. It’s the future, baby.” (For the record : It was announced yesterday that Millar would be writing a feature film version of "American Jesus", a comic-book project with Matthew Vaughn)

''The director (I believe it's Matthew Vaughn - makes sense no, considering the bracketed bit above?) was the one who was approached by WB, not me, so it would be bad form for me to spill the beans", Millar said. ''But we're working on our replacement project at the moment and when this gets announced I'd imagine we'll talk a little about Superman''.

That's right - there still may be hope.

''We're one of three teams they were in serious chats with (more for the director than me) and if Superman is available when we finish our next film who knows? But we're starting production on the new movie in June and so Superman absolutely not on our dance cards anytime soon. A shame, really, as we'd have completely reinvigorated it, but then again I like the idea of complete control over everything I'm doing now (which I have on all my projects). The idea of taking notes from the guys who liked the idea of Superman lying in bed for the final act of Returns doesn't sound good to me."

One of our contacts at Warner Bros knew nothing of the situation but did say, as far as he/she was aware, there was no movement on any "Superman" project.

Ya see, "Superman Returns" (2006) received fairly mixed reviews (I personally loved it but can understand why some dyed-in-the-wool fans didn't enjoy it as much as the Dick Donner film) and a slightly-under box-office tote, so Warners have been more frightened than a teenager around Michael Jackson to do another so soon. The studio - and power to them, regardless of what you thought of the film you have to admit they cast brilliantly - insist they're keeping Brandon Routh on as Superman for the next film... when it happens.

a little bit of rethread of a previous post, but more info. Damnit..well..when they the do the whole GL project will they have Routh as that man with glasses in the Daily Planet? Cuz..that'd still be cool.

More Hemming and Hawing From Bryan Singer

For those still following at home, director Bryan Singer continues to ramble on nonsensically when asked about doing a potential follow up to "Superman Returns."

The following is from a new interview with Total Film magazine when Singer was asked if he would be involved in the project: "I don't know, I don't know. There are still issues ... I just ... I just don't know. I don't necessarily...I don't know. It's one of those things where ... It's so weird talking about stuff unless I'm about to ramp up and shoot it."

Meanwhile, Singer was more lucid, but still evasive, in a new interview with the Edmonton Sun newspaper.

Singer told the paper his next movie will be a sci-fi fantasy "genre" film.

"It's almost totally in place, but I can't talk about it," he said.

The Sun asked if that next movie started with an "S" (for Superman).

"I wish I could say, but I'm trying to nip it in the bud because I tend to babble when I'm interested and excited about something," he replied. "And I'm definitely in the 'interested and excited' stage -- which is definitely better than the 'What the f--- do I do next?' stage. I can tell you that science fiction and fantasy, those are the films I lined up around the block to see as a kid. Those are the films I love to make."

Come on WB, just do it already.

So if Singer was best director...what does the film come out to be in his eyes? Well...the directing wasn't bad..it's the script that dragged but it was filmed fine to me.
