Brandon Routh in Bryan Singer's Superman Returns
Christopher Nolan will act as "godfather" of the next Superman movie, Nikki Finke and Mike Fleming report at Deadline Hollywood. According to the article, Superman 3.0 is in its very early stages. Nolan would likely act as an executive producer, but will probably not direct at least in part because he's also involved in the third installment of the Batman franchise, which is currently being written by his brother Jonathan Nolan and Batman Begins co-writer David Goyer, who also wrote the story for The Dark Knight.
In the long and detailed Deadline Hollywood report, the authors also explain the many twists and turns along the path of Superman Returns — the 2006 release directed by Bryan Singer and starring Brandon Routh, considered a box-office disappointment after making "only" $391 million worldwide. (It was an expensive movie.) Singer and Routh may — or may not — return for the new Superman, which will not be a sequel to the previous film. In fact, it's supposed to be something else entirely.
Also in the Deadline Hollywood report, the thorny issue of rights to the Superman material. Rights will revert to the heirs of Superman co-creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in the very near future.
Christopher Nolan's next release is Inception, a thriller starring Leonardo DiCaprio that is due out in the summer.

In the next Superman film, the Superman costume should be redesigned with a brighter red blue and yellow to match the comic books much like the one that Christopher Reeve wore in Richard Donner's Superman: The Movie (1978) and its three sequels.
If I was making a new Superman movie I would look at the suscess of other comicbook movie Like the Dark Knight,The frist two Spideman and goind back to to 1978 when the frist Superman movie came out pepole where waiting for almost 50 years before it hit the big screen yes there where TV series but nothing on the big screen the first one showed how he came to be as it should have and the 2nd one had a fist fight between Superman & Zod and his two followers and this is the action that pepole would like to see and when Superman Returs came out it basicly was the frist one done all over again and it even has some of the same lines but with no Childhood, and new grafics and new technology this is all fine but they showed us what we already know he strong as hell there isin’t nothing on this planit that he could not lift he is as fast as light and has a hart of gold and can’t be hert.the way I would do my frist movie I would show the fall of his home world his childhood and I would bring in Zod and have little more details for his crime that put him away in the fantum zone that really saved his life and his fallowers before the fight started. For my 2nd movie I would interduce Darkside to the big screen and his home world of appoxolips and for my final film I would bring in Doomsday have them fight for 1/2 of the move I do this because you must set a storie line before the fight and for the last quarter of the film you bring Superman back to life stronger then he was when the fight started so you know your protector will always be around

Well,
this sounds promising, but after the limited success of Superman Returns I do have my doubts. People view Superman differently from and other Action Hero. This is a classic and cannot be treated lightly – it will take something special to persuade the audience that Hollywood has not spoiled another legend.
