Bryan Singer, his cast and crew have reportedly arrived in Australia to start filming Superman Returns. A few posts ago, I mentioned Josh Whedon being hired to write and direct a Wonder Woman movie, and noted how getting the right director seems to be the key in doing a comic book movie. Singer, of course, is a veteran of the genre, having done the first two X-Men movies. Superman presents a bit more of a challenge, however, since he’s been brought to be the large and the small screen some very many times. Chris Nolan, the director of the upcoming Batman Begins, faces an easier job, in that the last two Batman movies really, really sucked. The bar’s higher for Singer.
By the way, a fairly neat teaser poster for Josh Whedon’s putative Wonder Woman film can be found here.
