I feel 5 years old again...

Humor the old geek reminiscing about seeing the original Superman in 1978 (RIP big guy).

Bryan Singer feeds rumors into the mill on the new Superman movie

Granted, Ain't It Cool News is a fun site that is often filled with unsubstantiated movie production stories, but this is the director spilling the beans twice.

• Tim Burton would have given us an excellent dark twist on the Superman mythology, and Kevin Smith supposedly wrote a pretty darn tootin' good script once upon a time, but then there was talk of casting Nicolas Frickin' Cage as the lead, and well... I'm glad this went back to the drawing board.
• Byran Singer has recently given us the X-Men movies, so he can do decent comic book movies
• They appear to have cast an unknown actor as the lead
• Alas, scheduled for 2006, but I waited four years for Return of the King
• Alas², IMDB's plot summary mentions an oogy twist to the origin story, but I can't expect as clean a retelling as we got in Spiderman every time
