Superman Movie News

It's just been reported that the writers for "Superman Returns" Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris won't be returning for the sequel. Apparently Warner Bros. has rejected all their story pitches and are now looking for someone else to begin write the script. Mark Millar from the Ultimates, Civl War, Authority, etc., is supposedly very eager to work on the project and start from scratch.

To be honest, I was not really wowed by "Superman Returns" but thought their work on the first 2 X-Men films were two of the best comic book adaptations of all time. Strange, it seems like other than Batman, DC has had the hardest time having their characters leap from comics to the big screen. Joss Whedon was attached to Wonder Woman for some time, which seemed like an awesome match since he's played in both the sandboxes of comics and Hollywood and knows how to write female characters, but now he's off the project, meaning the only other major DC superhero picture that may be going anywhere is the Justice League movie.
