Mark Millar, the mind behind WANTED, has long expressed his interest in reviving Superman. Now, he swears, something's happening. From his message board:
I've been planning this my entire life. I've got my director and producer set up, and it'll be 2011. This is how far ahead you have to think.
...
That Superman news is interesting, isn't it? In the interests of clarity (because I'm sure this will be picked up somewhere) a very well known American action director heard about my love of Superman, approached my and asked me to team up with he and his producer to make a pitch for this. We've been talking for several weeks now and, if this is going to happen, we'll know by Christmas. He has huge pull at WB so fingers crossed. But this is nothing more than a huge US name pulling me into his fold and making me part of a package.

He also says that we will know if this is happening by this Christmas.
I'd take this with a grain of salt, however. Millar's made some claims that haven't exactly been true before. (Claiming Eminem was desperate to be in WANTED, only to have the rapper's people flat out deny the claim comes to mind.)
