With The Dark Knight hitting theaters in a few weeks, it’s about time something happened on that sequel to Superman Returns. It’s been awhile since we’ve heard anything, but star Brandon Routh assures the guys at Hollywood.com that it’s moving along. Routh tells them that the script is currently being written, and that he expects to start on it early in 2009.
He also has news on the Justice League movie. Basically, Routh thinks it’s dead. He says, “I think it seems as though that’s not happening now.” Of course Routh was never going to be in it anyway, so he may not actually know what he’s talking about Still, I think we all hope he does. The world needs more Superman, it doesn’t need JLA, at least not the way Warner Brothers was going to make it. Scrap everything and turn it into a computer animated move in the vein of The Incredibles, and maybe then we’ll all get interested.
