Hey everyone,Something interesting popped-up in the "news" recently. It appears that maybe Mark Millar is going to have a second chance at writing a NEW Superman film AFTER ALL.

Mr. Millar himself:
"PS That Superman news is interesting, isn't it? In the interests of clarity (because I'm sure this will be picked up somewhere) a very well known American action director heard about my love of Superman, approached my and asked me to team up with he and his producer to make a pitch for this. We've been talking for several weeks now and, if this is going to happen, we'll know by Christmas. He has huge pull at WB so fingers crossed. But this is nothing more than a huge US name pulling me into his fold and making me part of a package."
This news, of course, has caused GREAT "angst" amongst the Apologists at their usual "bath houses". Much whining, crying, hand-wringing and lame "insults" have already begun. Oh, and in their usual childlike-mindset, Mark Millar is just "wishing", and this will "never" happen. But BJ Routh says he's "hoping" to be shooting Singerman: Madame Of Swish next year? SEQUEL ON!!!
Things should get interesting in the next 6 months or so....

AP is correct. Just take a gander over at the Homopage, & you'll see what he means. Ya know, you'd THINK these sheep would want a REAL Superman film & a UNITED fanbase, but obviously not!
Don't feed the brain-dead apologist sheep. They bite!
Millar is even worse than Singer!!! Here, read his crazy vision of Superman:
On Clark Kent: "Clark is a pair of glasses. Superman doesn't need glasses. He puts on the glasses for no practical reason; just to dress up and pretend to be this mid-westwern guy he's not as a means of rubbing shoulders with the people on this planet. Superman would have thought he was human until puberty. Until maybe 12. The easiest way to understand it is to think of Jesus in the temple and the moment where his mother has to tell him the truth. He always knew he was different and alone. This is when it was all explained to him. He could still love his parents, but Clark is him trying to understand what humans are all about. As Elliot Maggin puts it, Clark Kent is a living, breathing work of art."
On Lois Lane: "Superman doesn't love Lois. Clark loves Lois and Superman tries HARD to love Lois, but he can't because she's the wrong species. But he tries. Again, Maggin sums it up beautifully. It doesn't have to be complicated... Clark loves Lois, Lois loves Superman, Superman loves Clark [...] Perfect. This is also one of the reasons Superman shouldn't be married to Lois. It's just stupid. It makes no sense and destroys the whole dynamic. Superman is God, Jor-El is the Holy Spirit and Clark Kent is Jesus. The Kents are Mary and Joseph and Lois is Mary Magdelene. She's the NYC girl who's ____ed her way around the city and found nobody who measures up. She's just had it with men and is focusing on her career... then Superman shows up. This is why Margot Kidder was perfect for the role and why Lois should be played by someone around 30 even if Supes is being played by a 25 year old. You'll see what I mean when we fix it."
On the current version of the character: "[Kingdom Come] is close to perfect. Waid gets it. None of the other American writers do, though Loeb comes close. His only weakness is getting caught up in the whole farmboy thing. The farm is where he grew up and knew he was NOTHING LIKE THESE PEOPLE. He affects it for the Clark persona, but that's it. He's as Kryptonian as Jesus is divine. Did Jesus shag Mary Mag? I don't think so. Superman should never shag Lois. It's insane and what happens when artists start touching tyoewriters. Jimmy is the reader-identification figure and the comedy relief. PS I'm saving everything else for the launch. No other ideas from me here, I'm afraid, in case some ____ nicks em."
Does anybody here really want even more God/Jesus reverences and once again a hollow shell Clark Kent who's stalking Lois the whole day!? And since when is Lois a party whore who suddenly turned into a stuck up feminist bitch before she met Supes???
Sorry but Superman ist NOT GOD or JESUS! Leave that crap alone already and use the far superior post-crisis version: Clark is who he is, Superman is what he can do!
Lois and Clark connect because of their personal believes, like any other couple in the world. Superman is just a symbol (like Batman) for the public and media to follow. Clark uses that character to help the people around the world without compromising his friends/family and to have some time left for himself.
Is it really so hard to understand that the Superman today is not the same version that worked 50 years ago??? Times and values change! Either update Superman for this generation or forget about another movie altogether. SR proved that the old version is done!
PASS, Millar is a bit of a nutjob and i don't think WB takes him seriously. His ideas are way out there.
what I find more interesting than the fact that an another ego-maniac like Millar is being asked to write a new Superman, its that WB is taking or getting solicitations for a new Superman franchise. Provided of course Millar just isn't full of shit about all this of course...
I am willing to let Millar take a shot at it. I can't hurt worse than what Singer has done.
Superman's legal issues right now, kind of hurt any movie getting made. Isn't WB appealing that ruling to give Siegel's heirs back all those rights??
I think that's for Superboy. He's tied up and will probably be that way for a while. I don't think there's any problem with Supes...
No it is for Superman, here is a link.

Sounds like WB did not see this coming and as it stands now, whatever they make, they will owe the Siegels a large chunk of the profit. I don't think WB is thinking about making Superman movies until they hopefully win this on appeal. Siegels getting these rights back was a shocker, since Siegel sold them to DC years ago fair and square.
"what I find more interesting than the fact that an another ego-maniac like Millar is being asked to write a new Superman, its that WB is taking or getting solicitations for a new Superman franchise"
Tell that to the Apologists, some of whom seem more convinced than ever that a sequel (y'know, the one without a budget, a script, a greenlight, a cast, a production window, a release window or an official director!) is just 'round the corner.
" Siegels getting these rights back was a shocker, since Siegel sold them to DC years ago fair and square."
And both Siegel and Shuster were the recipients of various "final settlements" over the years. I can't believe they got jackshit from all this.
"And both Siegel and Shuster were the recipients of various "final settlements" over the years. I can't believe they got jackshit from all this."
Hopefully WB wins this on appeal, a reboot likely won't happen until this is settled.
It is 2008, WB can put out at least 2 Superman solo films before 2013 if they wanted to. If they can release 2 Matrix films in 6 months, they can do 2-3 Superman movies in 5 years.
Now, will they be good? If we are going to stick with the Matrix example, then NOPE. If they go with a writer and director who actually cares more about the character than just a 30 yr old film and his own sexual proclivities? Then it's got a chance.
"It is 2008, WB can put out at least 2 Superman solo films before 2013 if they wanted to."
There is no doubt they could but this whole issue is on appeal right now. Maybe they want to wait until it is settled and by then the stink of Singerman will be gone and they can start again. WB has to be insanely careful next time. The big Guy can only take so many people fucking it up. I mean think about it, we have not had a good Superman movie since 1980, that just fucking blows. As much as i like Batman and want to see TDK, Superman deserves to be having epic films made about him, fuck you WB for handing Superman to Singer.
Have you guys seen the incredible buzz the Dark Knight is getting? WB took that franchise away from a flaming homosexual and now it's a success. Why can't they do the same with Superman?
"Why can't they do the same with Superman?"
It won't be easy to do is the problem. Yes Batman overcame Batman and Robin however and i believe this is true, it is much easier to make a good Batman movie than it is to make a good Superman movie or even a TV show. Batman has a much larger track record of quality and success at the BO than Superman does. There has not been a good Superman movie in almost 30 fucking years. Smallville i think sucks, Lois and Clark years ago completely sukced ass. I have not seen anything good Superman related in the media since the animated series. Singerman set this fucker back every bit as bad as Batman and Robin did for Batman. It was not as bad as Batman and Robin but since the public was expecting an epic return and got a bad movie, it hurts Superman just as bad. He is a tough one to get right. We need a director that knows exactly how to make a movie with Superman. Who that is, i have no idea. It sure as hell isn't Singer.
The only way we'll ever get a half way decent Superman film is if Marvel Studios produced it.
Singer is a FAG and Superman Returns was gay.
Singerman, giving head & packing fudge.
These videos of fans discussing singerman just came back up on youtube. I believe they were a real hit about a year ago as they pretty much sum up everything wrong with singerman. 4 parts. Here is the first.

Dunno if you guys saw this, but Mark Millar commented on all the hype surrounding this "new" Superman film:
"The net is an endless source of non-news. This was the reporting of an informal chat in a Scottish newspaper where an American director asked me to join his team. He's pitching for Superman and this is in no way authorized by WB. Don't get too excited, folks. As I said in my first comment about this, this sort of thing happens every day and could amount to nothing. Bryan Singer still has dibs on Supes and this actioneer is only preparing his offer if and when Singer isn't doing it."

i miss the deleted scenes where the goons made singerman sucked on lex & singer and kitty cried in the background. ;)
"Dunno if you guys saw this, but Mark Millar commented on all the hype surrounding this "new" Superman film:"
Typical Hollywood bullshit. He "jumped the gun" by saying ANYTHING, so now he has to back-track in order to save face.
Someone at WB got on his ass for his comments, which means things may be more "serious" than they first appeared.
I hate Superman Returns, but can we all stop the gay bashing!
Singer is a fag, & Superman Returns was gay.
"I hate Superman Returns, but can we all stop the gay bashing!"
Yes, let's just ALL ignore the 5,000lb elephant shitting in the room, right?

I cant believe this looser blog stil lives. I knew i won but as soon as the frenchman leaves the maggots come running back.
"Routh has stated that he expects filming to begin in early 2009 for a '10 release.[68] Singer has expressed interest filming some scenes in 3-D film,[44] while post-production will take place in Hawaii.[56] Man of Steel will use main themes established by John Williams in Superman.[69]"
And thats just from wiki. Man you Americans are lazy. Millar will never come on board. The only coming is Ap in SSS bed. This is why....................
Man of Steel filming in 2009!
Restart
Your choice be stupid and follow a rumor, or be smart and follow fact.
I knew this stupid piece of shit would come crawling back. Hey, REtard, how's BS' asshole taste lately? A little sore from the BOOT Warner's gave him?
Take a look at the newest story, shit for brains. Guess this is just another "rumor" on the heels of MILLAR'S tidbit, right asshair? And Miller? Who??
Oh, and it's nice to know that this douche's "sources" are the Singerman HomoPage and WIKI-fuckin'-PEDIA. Unbelievable.
