There are a lot of questions needing answering for the upcoming Bryan Singer film Superman Returns. We know who Clark Kent is, we know who Lois Lane is, we know Lex Luthor is hanging out, we know that Superman has in fact 'returned', but we still are a little unclear on things such as the actual workings behind the story; even with all the speeding bulletins.

Luckily the good people over Newsweek has stepped it up during a set visit to Superman Returns.


Superman Returns Set Details


That's right, Newsweek has recently delivered an impressive article about the history of Superman Returns and the type of magic that Bryan Singer has going on behind the film. Oh yeah, they also have a couple nice set pics like the one posted here.

By the time Superman Returns lands in theaters next summer, it will have taken Warner Bros. 11 torturous years to get the movie off the ground. At one point in the mid-1990s, Tim Burton was going to direct Nicolas Cage as the man in tights. The next big plan was Superman vs. Batman, directed by Wolfgang Petersen. Then, a few years ago J. J. Abrams, creator of the shows Alias and Lost, chipped in a Superman script that whipped up a frenzy around the lot. It was teeming with huge action sequences, but altered the Superman myth. (In Abrams's version, the planet Krypton survived.)


Alright, the article at Newsweek doesn't do that much to fill in any holes we may have on Superman Returns, but it is still damn cool and worth a read if you are a fan of the film or big blockbusters in general. If you haven't already seen it, the current synopsis for Superman Returns:

Following a mysterious absence of several years, the Man of Steel comes back to Earth in the epic action-adventure Superman Returns, a soaring new chapter in the saga of one of the world's most beloved superheroes. While an old enemy plots to render him powerless once and for all, Superman faces the heartbreaking realization that the woman he loves, Lois Lane, has moved on with her life. Or has she? Superman's bittersweet return challenges him to bridge the distance between them while finding a place in a society that has learned to survive without him. In an attempt to protect the world he loves from cataclysmic destruction, Superman embarks on an epic journey of redemption that takes him from the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of outer space..
