Superman Finds Love With Singer

Bryan Singer has signed to direct and produce a sequel to Superman Returns, Warner Bros. confirmed Monday.

Singer is the only person in place on a project that is more a notion still than a project. The studio said there is no script, no budget and no targeted release date.

Not even Superman Returns cape-wearer Brandon Routh is a lock for a return engagement, although Variety, which first reported the Singer signing, said Warners has an option on the actor for a sequel.
