arock99 writes "After many years of battling various script rewrites, Superman is set to soar again. Various sources (superman-v.com, darkhorizons.com, aintitcool.com) report that Brandon Routh (of Gilmore Girls) has been cast as Superman. With production only a month away, Brian Singer is set to tackle yet another super-hero film after previously having directed both X-Men and X2. Had it not been for his recent passing, Christopher Reeve would surely have been part of the production team in some capacity. Superman should hit theaters around summer 2006."

Q: What's the difference between Christopher Reeve and O.J. Simpson?
A: O.J. walked and Christopher Reeve got the electric chair.

It's so laughable. Only desperate people with inferiority complex will be interested in this kind of franchise.

actually the original superman was always designed to be a gay oriented character.

Have a digital Christopher Reeve play superman. You can use motion capture so that the models movement won't look so artificial. The detail of the modell won't be a problem, just look at Smith in Matrix revolutions when he gets punched in the face by Neo.

I mean, come one, why not?!

Then it was good timing. Who needs another over-paid consultant to do virtually nothing?
