Here’s some info on the new Superman film: Man of Steel entrances comic book fans.

Given that the X-Men’s Bryan Singer is at the helm, I have high hopes for this one.

Here’s some more info from USAT:

Superman Returns picks up a few years after 1978’s Superman, which starred the late Christopher Reeve. It’s as if that film’s three critically panned sequels didn’t exist.

“It sort of puts the first film in a vague history,” Singer says. “It utilizes elements, icons and images from that movie and helps give us a place to begin.”

The late Marlon Brando, who played Superman’s father, Jor-El, will be seen in the new movie, and computer-generated re-creation will supplement archival footage of the actor.

Singer, who also directed the blockbusters X-Men and X2, says his Superman harks back visually to the 1930s and ’40s vision of the superhero.
