  • DC Entertainment Has No Plans for Another Superman Movie
    Superman

    It's been a pretty rocky year for the "Last Son of Krypton" and it doesn't appear that things will smooth out any time soon. In the wake of Superman Returns' dismal box office take ($200 million domestically from a production budget of $270 million), Warner Bros. has spent much of 2009 in court battling the families of Superman's original creators over rights to the character, not to mention letting Brandon Routh's contract expire, casting doubt into the possibility of a sequel.

    It appears that there were still plans to make another Superman movie as recently as August, with Warner Bros. Pictures Group President Jeff Robinov hinting that the franchise would receive a "darker" reboot along the lines of Chris Nolan's The Dark Knight. Now, however, it appears that the Superman franchise is grounded. The head of the newly formed DC Entertainment division, Diane Nelson, told MTV:

    We actually don't have any current plans for Superman.

    We've obviously done a lot of great things behind the property in our history, and it's a key part of the family, but we don't have current plans behind Superman.

  • No Superman Movie Until 2012

    SupermanWarner Bros. has been noticeably cautious on making another Superman after Superman Returns' lackluster box office performance, focusing instead on its recently cast Green Lantern while they wait for Christopher Nolan to decide if he wants to make another Batman movie. Yet speculation over a sequel has persisted, and considering Warner's lineup of "tentpole" movies set for release in 2011, the lack of a Superman movie seems unusual.

    The development of a sequel to Superman Returns has not been very promising, with director Bryan Singer unlikely to return and Brandon Routh's contract to play Superman expiring. Warner Bros. President Alan Horn has testified that no Superman movie is currently in development, not even a script has been written. That's about to change.

    In a recent legal battle between heirs of Superman creators Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel and current right holders DC Comics and Warner Bros., the judge ruled that while Warner Bros. owes no damages to the families, they must begin development of a Superman movie by 2011 or the families can sue again.

    While fans will undoubtedly be excited for another Superman, Warner Bros. can't be too pleased. Perhaps it will push them to make the unorthodox Superman script J.J. Abrams wrote.

  • Brandon Routh's Superman Contract Expires

    SupermanDespite having survived his own death in the now-famous Superman (vol. 2, #75) back in 1992, Superman's future looks bleak. At least, that is, his future as a film star does.

    The under-performance of the relaunch film, Superman Returns, has led many to question whether the Man of Steel will return for a sequel. The 2006 film by director Bryan Singer cost an estimated $270 million to produce, but only took in $200 million at the domestic box office. International ticket sales of $191 million helped the film make a profit, but it was a major disappointment to the studio, especially in the wake of the $1 billion that The Dark Knight earned worldwide.

    In addition to the poor box-office numbers, Returns has been criticized by fans for having a plodding plot, borrowing too heavily from the 1978 Richard Donner-directed Superman, and for straying too far from the mythology established in the comic books. Actor Brandon Routh, who played the dual role of Superman/Clark Kent in Returns recently echoed those complaints by admitting that Returns suffered from a lack of action. Routh said that his Superman contract has expired, but that he is definitely interested in revisiting the role.

  • Superman Sequel Seeks New Villain... FINALLY!

    Tired of seeing Lex Luthor as the baddie in all but one of the previous 5 Superman movies? Yeah, so are we. And it seems, according to The Latino Review, so is Warner Bros. Reports say that they're on the lookout for a new nemesis in the sequel.

    Since 1978, when Christopher Reeve first slipped on the blue tights, baldy bad-guy Lex Luthor has been his antagonist in all the major motion pictures. Now we agree that Lex is probably Supe's ultimate opponent, but come on Warner Bros, this is The Man of Steel we're talking about. He's had a history of fighting for truth, justice and the American way since the 1940s. He's trounced thousands of villains in his time. Even Batman in his 6 movies has only had to fight the Joker twice.

    It is indeed time. But who will it be? Braniac? Doomsday? Metallo? And what actor will play the part of adversary to this iconic character? Check out Latino Review for their picks. What about yours?
