We heard from Bryan Singer earlier today about what he would have done differently with Superman Returns, and what was planned for the scrapped sequel. Now, in his interview with Empire (via Comic Book Movie), the director talks about the latest Superman movie, Man of Steel. He praises Henry Cavill’s performance, and said that he didn’t cast him in Returns because he wanted an actor closer to Christopher Reeve. “Yeah. I saw it when it came out. Um…I think Henry Cavill is great. I knew Henry. He and I were friends years ago. Oddly enough, the reason I didn’t cast him was because I was making a sequel to Christopher Reeve…

In 2006, Warner Bros. made an unsuccessful attempt to revive the Superman franchise with Superman Returns. Bryan Singer, who directed the well-received X-Men and X2: X-Men United, helmed the Man of Steel’s latest big screen outing. However, Returns was met with a mixed reception from fans and audiences, grossing a mere $390M worldwide on a $200M budget. A number of problems weakened the film – from its connection to the Richard Donner Superman series to a minimal amount of action in a two hour and thirty minute movie. How would Singer have done Returns differently if he had the chance? Speaking with Empire (via Comic Book Movie), the X-Men: Days…

More details on NBC’s Constantine pilot have found their way online, and fans of the DC/Vertigo character will be pleased with the latest news.

Warner Bros. has finally announced who is playing Lex Luthor in 2016’s Batman vs. Superman, and it’s not who you would expect. Jesse Eisenberg, who was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for his role in The Social Network, is set to play Superman’s arch nemesis in the Man of Steel sequel. Especially following rumors of Bryan Cranston and Joaquin Phoenix being in contention, this is certainly a surprising casting choice – one which is already igniting more debate within the fanbase. Also, The Lion King‘s Jeremy Irons has been cast as Bruce Wayne’s faithful butler, Alfred Pennyworth. This is the first we’ve heard of the character being in the…

We officially have a director for NBC’s planned Constantine pilot, which marks the small screen debut of DC’s John Constantine. According to Deadline, Doomsday and The Descent director Neil Marshall is set to helm the pilot, which was written by Daniel Cerone from a story by him and David S. Goyer. The potential series’ incarnation of Constantine is described as, “an enigmatic and irreverent con man-turned-reluctant supernatural detective who is thrust into the role of defending us against dark forces from beyond.” Casting is underway for Constantine and three other characters, with plans for the pilot to appear on NBC’s 2014-2015 schedule.
