December 5, 2008: Bryan Singer Not Involved in Superman Movie Talks

UGO.com pinned down Bryan Singer and asked him whether or not he's involved with the next Superman movie. Singer was not forthcoming with direct answers, but did reveal that he's not currently involved in talks about the next movie... but said he's also not divorced from Superman either...

JH: Tell me something about Superman and you and your relationship together.

BS: I love Superman and I can not tell you anything else. I, uh......

JH: Would you like to tell me something else? But you simply can't?

BS: I can't, I....no-no I wish I could! Yeah! I wish I could, but there's nothing I have to tell. I've got a world tour (laughs) press tour on Valkyrie, a premiere in New York, uh -

JH: But there is talk of a new film, though. Are you officially involved in this talk of the new film?

BS: I am not officially involved in the talk, no.

JH: But when talk happens they'll call you.

BS: Well it's, you know, I have relationships with Warner Brothers and with the character and, and, and, and it's just the way things work out.

JH: But you are not divorced from Superman at this point.

BS: No.

What does it all mean? Your guess is as good as mine. Pundits speculate that contractually Singer may need to be approached first before the WB can seek out other directors.
