There has been a lot of whispers and speculating going around the last couple of days regarding the fate of the Superman Returns sequel (which we’ll just call Superman Returns 2 for now). It all got kicked off by word that Bryan Singer has signed on to do another project. This got the windmills going at a breakneck pace.

The problem is, Singer always planned on doing another film prior to shooting Superman Returns 2 in 2008. So this isn’t new news at all.

But on the internet, one rumor sparks off another and the dominos keep falling. Since people assumed that Singer would be delaying Superman Returns 2 (which he’s not), new speculation arose that Superman would be appearing in the new Justice League film that was reported earlier this month instead of his own sequel.

The problem is that every source from the studios and those who work with Singer are all saying the same thing “We have already started work on Superman Returns 2, and we are starting shooting in 2008″. Period.
