\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

The new “Superman Returns<\/a>” film is currently garnering positive reviews<\/a>. What is interesting is that the film is directed by former X-Men & X2 director Bryan Singer<\/a>. You will note that Rotten Tomatoes have given him a similar high score for the first<\/a> two X-Men films<\/a> (the third X-Men film was not directed by him and wasn’t favoured by the critics<\/a>). Singer also made quite an impact in “The Usual Suspects<\/a>“. He seems to understand the myth & mystery of larger than life characters. Perhaps the other director that can do good superhero films is Sam Raimi (Spider-man 1<\/a> & 2<\/a>, Darkman<\/a>).<\/p>\n

One of the things cited to work well is Singer’s cinematography<\/a> which manages to bring out the exhilaration & emotion of the superhero.<\/p>\n

So far looking good for Singer and Superman. May I suggest that Singer does Daredevil<\/a>?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
