Variety suggests (the link goes to E! Online's recap) that sequels to both Batman Begins and Superman Returns are in the works. The Batman sequel has been pretty well assumed given that the movie made more than $200 million during its theatrical release. The Superman Returns sequel seems a bit dicier given that Superman Returns doesn't even open until June. Variety notes that the actors playing Superman (Brandon Routh) and Batman (Christian Bale) are already under contract for sequels; although Batman director Christopher Nolan and Superman director Bryan Singer are not. And on a completely unrelated note, and am I the only one who thinks this Brandon Routh character looks just plain goofy as Superman?
