DIRECTOR, WRITER/S and some of the MAJOR CASTS

Director:To be determined
#c: Don't let Bryan Singer get near this next movie, I don't want to watch another rehash of the Donner films. If I want to watch Donner's Superman I'll watch Donner's Superman not Singer mimicking Donner.

Writer: David S. Goyer - confirmed Ooopps not yet!
#c: He's a bigger geek than most of us, so personally I like his involvement in this movie.

Superman: To be determined
#c: Routh I think was good for the role but sad to say after that misstep in Superman Returns I doubt he'll be back wearing the Big Blue Boyscout's uniform again.


As of Feb. 25: Two (2) CBMers voted and say they don't want to see Brandon Routh again as Superman.




SUPERMAN LIVE CBM HISTORY 101
For they who are not one of us :)

Brief Comic History:
Superman is a comic book superhero appearing in publications by DC Comics. Created by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster in 1932 while both were living in Cleveland, Ohio, and sold to Detective Comics, Inc. in 1938, the character's first appearance is in Action Comics #1 (June 1938). With the success of his adventures, Superman helped create the superhero genre.

Superman possesses extraordinary powers, with the character traditionally described as "faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound". For most of his existence, Superman's famous arsenal of powers has included flight, super-strength, invulnerability to non-magical attacks, super-speed, vision powers (including x-ray, heat-emitting, telescopic, infra-red, and microscopic vision), super-hearing, and super-breath, which enables him to blow out air at freezing temperatures, as well as exert the propulsive force of high-speed winds.
