DC Movie Updates – UPDATE


Variety gives an update on future DC Comic adaptations.

Speaking of DC Comics pics, it is highly unlikely that Bryan Singer will
return to shoot the next Superman movie. (The director is finishing up Tom
Cruise’s Nazi film Valkyrie, and prepping The Mayor of Castro Street). The next
Superman we will see on the big screen will not be Brandon Routh, but a younger
Superman among a cast of youthful superheroes in The Justice League. That movie
will likely not be shot, however, until after the WGA strike is resolved.
Warners is so happy with Dark Knight that their fondest hope is that Nolan will
return to do another Batman.

First off Brandon Routh did fine, and second it’s studio suicide since Justice League is doomed, there going to unknowingly take down every other franchise, that’s retarded.

Nolan has stated he wants to take a break from the Batman franchise, which I agree with. But the studio is going to pull an X-3 stunt.

UPDATE 1/5/08: AICN is report that the rumor could be false.

I just got off the phone with a very high-ranking mole who is absolutely in
a position to know what’s happening with this film, and he tells me that it is
“absolutely false” that Brandon Routh is out as Superman for the stand-alone
series.

Right now, Routh is still Warner’s choice to return if they make another
stand-alone SUPERMAN film, and that’s based on conversations as recently as a
few weeks ago.
Don’t believe this one, kids. Routh’s still the Man of
Steel.

If they make another Superman film, they better move on and do something different, like what my brother and I ranted on the show, that Superman Returns was a pay too much homage to the Richard Donner films.

I this rumor better be false, Warner Bros. are planning on making one mistakes which another big mistake after other, after other, after other.
