    Warner Bros. has confirmed long-running rumors that it will reboot the Superman movie franchise.
    Jeff Robinov, Warner Bros. Pictures Group President, tells The Wall Street Journal that the Man of Steel will be reintroduced on the big screen without regard to 2006's Superman Returns.

    "Superman didn't quite work as a film in the way that we wanted it to," Robinov says. "It didn't position the character the way he needed to be positioned. ... Had Superman worked in 2006, we would have had a movie for Christmas of this year or 2009."

    There's no mention whether Superman Returns director Bryan Singer will be part of the reboot. Earlier this week, Variety's Anne Thompson reported "that it is a priority at the studio to find the right direction and if Bryan Singer is willing to do that, fine, but if he gets in the way, he may not stay on the project."

    Taking a page from Marvel, Warner Bros. has reversed its earlier position of using the now-stalled Justice League of America as a launching pad for other DC properties. Instead, it will focus on solo features to build toward a multicharacter film.

    "Along those lines, we have been developing every DC character that we own," Robinov says.

    That may sound less like a "strategy" and more like a mad cash-grab. Something else that might not sit right with some fans is Robinov's determination to explore the darker side of super-heroes: "We're going to try to go dark to the extent that the characters allow it."

    According to The Journal, Warner Bros. plans to release four comic-book movies in the next three years: the third Batman installment, the Superman reboot, and two focusing on other DC Comics characters. (It's unclear whether Watchmen is included in that count.) Likely candidates include Green Arrow/Super Max, Green Lantern, Captain Marvel and, perhaps, Jonah Hex.

    As Variety reported over the weekend, Warner Bros. is expected to roll out its strategy for its DC Comics movie properties sometime within the next month.

    huh. weird. im not big on superman, but i didnt think returns was THAT bad....cmon, wasnt spacey lex luthor?

    "without regards"

    so we are gonna get a deal like the new hulk ill guess.

    thats a shame, like i said, the movie wasnt GOOD, but it wasnt SO bad that it should just be disregarded....god knows The Dark Knight wont be disregarded for the next batman and that sucked hard.

    Oh God, why???!



    What DC SHOULD do is a fucking Wonder Woman movie.....and for my best friend's sanity (and so he'll shut the fuck up about it already), they need to redo Constantine and make it like the Hellblazer graphic novels.

    Hey King....Someone just kill Superman and his celaphane S already....I kid.
    New wonderwoman would be great.....Well not so great since Josh no longer on the project.

    I don't get why they just don't have Tom Welling be Superman. Christopher Reeves himself passed the torch onto Tom.


    Hell, they just need to do a Smallville movie....and officially put Chloe into the damn mythos already.



    YA HEAR ME, DC????! ALLISON DESERVES IT!! MAKE HER IMMORTAL. PUT HER IN THE MYTHOS.

    An 29 October 2007 article quoted Joel Silver as stating that due to the impending release of Justice League, the Wonder Woman film will be placed on moratorium:

    'They're going to make the Justice League movie, and we're kind of pausing on Wonder Woman now [...] Let them go ahead and do that picture [first]' [...] The Amazon superhero from the DC Comics series will be a major part of the upcoming JLA. 'And if that comes together, Wonder Woman will be a part of that story,' Silver said. 'And then we'll see where we go from there. But we struggled with it for a while. I hope that we can solve it and make it one day.



    April 2008, Silver said it would not as the Justice League film had been put on indefinite hold.[51] In August 2008 however director George Miller as well as actress Megan Gale confirmed that the film was still on, with a plan to resume filming in 2009.

    Probably drinking a whole bottle of Moet while dressed up like Dorothy, crying about how much you hate yourself and desperately clicking your heels three times.
