"Superman Returns" scribes Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris have opted not to come back and pen a sequel to the 2006 summer pic that would have reunited them with helmer Bryan Singer. The three also worked together on "X2: X-Men United."
As a result, WB is now taking pitches for Superman's next outing from other scribes -- just as the studio is trying to figure out which actor will don the character's tights in "Justice League."
Industry chatter claimed the studio would start fresh with a new take on the Man of Steel, as if the previous pic never happened. Reasons mentioned were the introduction of Superman's son with Lois Lane, as well as the film's less-than-expected domestic haul of $200 million and another $191 million overseas.
But WB denies such plans and said next pic would be a sequel with Brandon Routh likely to wear the "S" on his chest again.
