http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2008/01/09/Bryan-Singer-and-Brandon-Routh-Out-of-SUPERMAN-Franchise.aspx Variety’s Anne Thompson recently wrote a blog post that will have fans of the SUPERMAN franchise either jumping for joy, or crying out in agony. The particular entry, which has since, in recent weeks, been confirmed as being more fact than fiction, reported that Bryan Singer, director of SUPERMAN RETURNS would most likely not be returning for the franchise’s next installment. It went on to say that Brandon Routh, the “star” of RETURNS, would also be getting the ax, replaced by a more youthful incarnation of the man of steel, who will appear in the upcoming JUSTICE LEAGUE movie. en-US Critics Rant headersrock@yahoo.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2008/01/09/Bryan-Singer-and-Brandon-Routh-Out-of-SUPERMAN-Franchise.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2008/01/09/Bryan-Singer-and-Brandon-Routh-Out-of-SUPERMAN-Franchise.aspx#2939 I thought Superman Returns was excellent.
