In My Opinion: Bryan Singer needs to direct “The Man of Steel.”

As I’m sure a lot of you know, the condition of the next Superman movie has been up in the air for nearly three years now. As of right now there are two teams who have a real shot at being the creative force behind the film, currently going under the moniker The Man of Steel. There’s Mark Millar and his mystery “action director” and Bryan Singer, who  directed 2006’s Superman Returns. I have now chosen a side; Bryan Singer needs to direct another Superman movie

Mark Millar Talks Superman Trilogy And More

Comic scribe Mark Millar was recently interviewed on G4. He talked about his current comics work (War Heroes, Kick Ass, etc.) as well as his proposed Superman reboot. He has apparently been in talks at Warner Bros. to actually go forward with it and it sounds like it could be awesome. He describes it as “a big three-picture Superman thing, like a Lord of the Rings epic, starting over from scratch again with a seven-hour Superman story. One to be released each year.”

‘The Book of Lies’ Trailer

Best Selling Novelist and Comic Scribe Brad Meltzer (The Zero Game, Identity Crisis) premieres the trailer for his newest novel, The Book of Lies, being released on September 2nd from Grand Central Publishing. Now, this wouldn’t normally be something I would post about, as I like to keep articles somewhat related to geek-culture, but in this case it actually fits the bill quite nicely. The book’s description:

In Chapter Four of the Bible, Cain kills Abel. It is the world’s most famous murder. But the Bible is silent about one key detail: the weapon Cain used to kill his brother. That weapon is still lost to history.

In 1932, Mitchell Siegel was killed by three gunshots to his chest. While mourning, his son dreamed of a bulletproof man and created the world’s greatest hero: Superman. And like Cain’s murder weapon, the gun used in this unsolved murder has never been found.

Until now.

Today in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Cal Harper comes face-to-face with his family’s greatest secret: his long-lost father, who’s been shot with a gun that traces back to Mitchell Siegel’s 1932 murder. But before Cal can ask a single question, he and his father are attacked by a ruthless killer tattooed with the anicent markings of Cain. And so begins the chase for the world’s first murder weapon.

What does Cain, history’s greatest villain, have to do with Superman, the world’s greatest hero? And what do two murders, committed thousands of years apart, have in common? This is the mystery at the heart of Brad Meltzer’s riveting and utterly intriguing new thriller.

The trailer itself seems like something from out of a conspiracy-theory documentary and features the likes of Joss Whedon, Brian K. Vaughan, and Damon Lindelof drawing a link between the murder of the biblical Abel and the murder of Jerry Siegel’s father.
