Singer to direct Superman Returns

Bryan Singer is set to be in the director's chair on the fifth Superman movie, rumored to be entitled Superman Returns.

Rather than a "reboot" of the franchise (which, in some cases, is badly needed) as had been originally planned, Singer's vision is to pick up more or less where Superman IV left off. This will necessitate throwing all of the script and casting work done thus far out the window, but despite this Warner Brothers still seems intent on moving ahead with filming by the end of the year.

Only downside? X-Men 3 will likely be looking for a new director.
