Routh Talks Villains for "Superman Returns" Sequel
It certainly had its moments, and was unquestionably better than "Superman III" and "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace," but last year's franchise reboot "Superman Returns" was far from perfect. There was the occasionally leaden pacing, for one thing, not to mention the glaring lack of a super-powered villain to test Superman's mettle (and light up the screen with some rock 'em sock 'em action).

Will "Superman Return" Again?
By now it's pretty much a well-accepted fact that Bryan Singer's "Superman Returns" didn't do the kind of box office that Warner Bros. was expecting. That's not a knock on the movie, but the thing's still struggling to hit $200 million, and some industry insiders were predicting the flick would tally that much in only a week or two. But, of course, there's always sequel considerations...
