After years in development hell, and quite a nasty hell at that, Superman is set to return to the big screen. With comic-to-film maven Bryan Singer on board to direct, things are looking good for the Last Son of Krypton. In the tradition of the late, great Christopher Reeve, Singer cast an unknown actor Brandon Routh in the blue tights of Superman.
Filmmakers such as Kevin Smith, Tim Burton, Brett Ratner, McG and J.J. Abrams all attempted to get the new version of the Man of Steel off the ground, but it never really moved forward until Bryan Singer came on board. Everyone from Nicolas Cage to Josh Hartnett to Paul Walker to Matthew Bomer to Brendan Fraser to Ashton Kutcher to David Boreanaz to Ian Somerhalder to Henry Cavill to Jerry O'Connell were looked at to star.
