Bryan Singer on Superman Sequel, "I’m going to take a brief pause."

Again, his job as a director was not the issue. The script sucked! Same story with X-men 3, we are so quick to blame the "director". It's singer's fault because he wrote superman's script but still did a bang up job filming it! I'm not worried if he "directs" the next superman movie, but nothing more.

BRIAN SINGER-GO BACK TO XMEN..FANS HAVE SPOKEN, IF THE STUDIO HEADS CANT FIGURE IT OUT THEY NEED TO LOOK TO THE PEOPLE PAYING TO SEE WHAT THEY GIVE US.SUPERMAN RETURNS PROBS=THE SUIT WAS OK BUT THE S WAS TOO SMALL THE COLLAR TOO TIGHT, ROUTH LOOKED LIKE CHRIS REEVE AND SOUNDED LIKE HIM, BUT WHEN CLARK KENTS NERDYNESS CAME OUT, HE SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT LIKE CHRIS REEVE..OVER THE TOP NERD..THERE WAS A CG SUPERMAN(WE ALL COULD TELL)WHERE THERE WAS NO NEED TO USE CG, STICK TO THE OLDSCHOOL METHOD IT ..EVEN THOUGH YOUR BEING NOSTALGIC WITH YOUR TAKE ITS 2008, GIVE US SOMETHING NEW, YOUR NOT A FAN SINGER, BECAUSE FANS DIDNT LIKE YOUR TAKE.

i really liked superman returns. sure it wasnt perfect and id have cut out some plotlines but i really enjoyed it. and to compare it to smallville! i mean its had a few good episodes but its basically the oc with superpowers. tom welling is ok..but some of the other cast members are out acted by the kents tractor

The tragic thing about the Chris Reeve Superman franchise is that right after Superman II it never had a descent follow up or conclusion. Like its contemporary franchise Star Wars, Star Trek, Aliens, Superman deserves to have an en ending before a reboot. To reboot the Superman franchise now would left the story --the sad Clark and Lois break-up in Superman II or worse Superman having a son in Superman Returns-- forever hanging. Bryan Singer Superman Returns provided us a descent continuation and and possibly a very interesting direction for the story.

I have already posted my suggested story,

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/superman_movies/superman_the_man_of_steel/news/?a=5107

and I could see others are already posting some interesting directions as well. Just as dxperry said in his post Bryan only needs to base his story on some of the best Superman stories and make his movies a bit shorter and more action pack.

Luthor presence on all sequel is OK for me provided that other Super Villain should take center stage and him as an accomplice or even cameo. If possible include how finally Luthor finally reached the pinnacle of his criminal career. He is not the greatest criminal mind for nothing.

Again please do not repeat the Salkinds greatest sin in movie history by ignoring to end the story left by Donners Superman II . Somehow I sensed it is one of the reasons we demanded a revival of the franchise in the first place. A continuation or a closure of that final scene in Superman II. Let Brian Singer continue and finish his trilogy which is a direct continuation of Superman II. Then when its done thats the time we reboot.

Your right as always Roar, the kents's tractor is deffinitly up there in the top 5 of actors on Smallville.

Man this sucks.. I can't believe this guy can't even answer that question. I don't blame him as the studio likely have him in limbo so what can he say. I think even he understands his installment of Superman sucked by most standards. I mean come on the movie took $250 million to make? WTF? What happened to the other $200 million? Someone is walking around with $200 million in a swiss bank account somewhere!

I am a HUGE fan of the Chris Reeve Superman movies and I believe the scrpit for Superman Returns was fundamentally flawed. I mean come on.. he's been gone for 6 years and you don't even show us what the hell he was up to?? all we get is some vague discussion between he and his mom's? WHACK! Then he gets back and he has a baby momma? With the worst pick for Lois Lane I could have imagined. I mean did Singer owe her a favor? I know it's 2008 and we live in strange times but come on we are not talking about Batman or some hero with a distorted value system we are talking about SUPES! He stands for the best in us all.. I think Singer should have focused on how out of step with hunmanity Supes has become and how he can't understand our self destructive nature balanced with a villian who wants to cultivate all that negativity and rule over all with super powers rivaling Superman.. How hard would that have been it's like Superman II with a better villian some CGI and superman actually losing his temper a few times getting beat up then doing the beating up and showing how strong he really is.. Not difficult.. WHAT HAPPENED?? All that would have cost a mere $50 million more.. Now we are at $100 million.. how in the world did they end up at $250 million dollars on that movie? I have a copy of the movie and it looks great in high def but besides the scene of him catching the plane that Lois was on int he beginnig I can't find a good enough reason to watch it again..

Lois Lane should be replaced with Michelle Monaghan

I don't want to see Lex Luthor again

Leave the Cryptonite at home.. that was the worst part of Superman Returns..

Concentrate on the fight scenes like in Superman Doomsday.. I want to see buildings falling down and tanks thrown around..

Loose the old school suit.. it was too dark and I agree with gunsmoke the "S" was too small and the collar was too high. Looked like Superman from the 60's... maybe Singer was watch old school Adam West's Batman reruns..

I'd like to see him tear that suit up and jump into the Black and silver one at some point.. maybe not permenantly but that would be awesome..

I have to give that one to you LazyDay, the opening theme was very BadAss!!! Chills you say? I practically could've cut glass with my nippies!!!

Crappybumbum, you lay it on them :P

I see your point kalabog because in my heart, i don't really want there to be a "reboot" but i mean... he's got a kid now...dude, that never even happened in the comics! Well i guess superboy "could" be his son instead of his clone... but i really really wanna see Mark Millar make a kick ass trilogy! I'm tired of Metropolis man! I want deep space fights!!! And bizzaro isn't that good as a bad guy. I want someone more colossal, someone that'll pose a REAL threat, a REAL challenge... someone like Doomsday but since they don't want to make his death story on the big screen... someone similar. In short i want him to fight Abomination...eh ....Apocalypse....no eh... Freakin GALACTUS!!! Damn, Marvel has all the best bad guys! You guys get my drift.

superman 3 had its moments, but even as a kid watching 4 in the cinema i hated it! yeah shaman space fights and big bads would be cool, i reckon thats how singer would eventually take the franchise..he should have probably did it with returns but he was too concerned with paying homage to donner..i hope he makes at least 1 more
