The Superman franchise had had an excellent revamp with Superman Returns released a couple of years back, but Mark Millar (Wanted) said he was going to pitch his vision of the franchise to Warner Bros. However, it now seems he is taking it one step further: he’s gotten himself a director and producer set up for his vision.

He said that the Superman brand is “toxic after that last movie lost $200 million, but in 2011 we’re hoping to restart it.”

"Sadly I can’t say who the director is,” he teased, “but we may make it official by Christmas.”
"But fingers crossed it could work out, that would be my lifetime’s dream."

The sequel to Returns is said to be in development at the time. No release date is attached to the project.
