Bryan Singer to Direct Superman! Source: Variety Monday, July 19, 2004
"X-Men" series director Bryan Singer signed a deal Friday to develop and direct Warner Bros.' new Superman adaptation, replacing McG who withdrew due to location and budget differences. Variety reports that Singer is expected to work with X2: X-Men United writers Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris to draft a film that starts production late this year in Australia.
The trade says that a tug-of-war over Singer's next project had been going on for weeks, with Fox's X-Men 3 competing with Warner's remake of Logan's Run to land the helmer. It now looks likely that Singer will not do the third "X-Men," even though he has an overall deal with Fox.
Besides the recent exit of helmer McG from the project, producers Neal Moritz and Gilbert Adler have apparently disappeared from the scene as well. The fate of producer Jon Peters also is up in the air.
The studio apparently scrapped a J.J. Abrams script that WB once was high on, and has tapped Australia as a reasonably priced shooting location, with a budget said to be around $200 million.
Singer also is said to have a new take on the film. Before his involvement, it was to revolve around Superman's battle with Lex Luthor and a mysterious figure from Krypton who has come to hunt down the Man of Steel.
"My interest in Superman dates back many, many years," Singer said. "In fact, it was the Richard Donner classic film that was my day-to-day inspiration in shaping the X-Men universe for the screen. I feel that Superman has been late in his return and it is time for him to fly again."
I can finally look forward to the film, knowing they have a decent director on board. The thought of McG directing scared me in ways I don't want to go in to.

Not much gayness in The Usual Suspects though, maybe he'll keep a lid on it for Superman (although bearing in mind the main character is a man who wears his pants on top of his trousers, I doubt it).
X-men 3 is going to feature a character called Artho-Martho, a half man half woman mutant who has the ability to bend spoons.
Using its nads.

Nothing wrong with them per se, but they're weighed down with Singer's not-at-all-gay rhetoric and subtext.
"Why? Why do they treat me different? I'm a person too"
"No, you are evil and should be locked up"
"No, I'm decent and honest and want to be accepted into your society"
"No, your lifestyle is strange and I do not understand your ways"
Substitute "Mutant" for "Bummer" and there's your big gay action film.
But under no circumstance is Brian Singer gay, nope not at all nuh-huh
Decent enough films but hardly subtle with the pink propoganda

What's wrong with X-Men? Two top efforts at superhero films.
Singer to do Superman?
So instead of being a bloke from Krypton made invincible by the Earth's yellow sun, he'll be a closet bummer trying to come to terms with people's unwillingness to accept him for one of them?
If you love the X-Men movies, you clearly like to plough mantunnels and want Wolverine to adamantium your jasmin-scented ginger diamond.

"helmer McG"
narf.

A decent director, but will everything be a metaphor for being gay? Usual suspects and X-men can both be interpreted that way.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
