The folks over at aintitcool.com have posted to accounts of people attending screenings wherein director Bryan Singer (X-Men, X2, Usual Suspects) has spoken to the rumors of Superman having been cast. ?Brandon Routh is the man. ?We think.

I just attended the screening of X2: X Men United at the Arclight Cinemas in Hollywood tonight, where Brian Singer made a special appearance and answered some questions regarding the movie. People filled out cards with questions and turned them in and he answered them directly. ??

I decided to go for the gold and ask about Superman, and he actually addressed my question. My question was, "What can you tell us about Superman?" and he asked me point blank, "What do you want to know?" ??

Since the news about Brandon Routh being casted hasn't really been officially been confirmed by the WB, as far as I know, I asked that first, and he responded first by correcting my pronunciation of his name (Rowth) and then said, "As of today, yes. He's Superman. He has the perfect physicality for the role and will be great." ??

He then went on to tell us about how he actually pitched his idea to Richard Donner, director of the original Superman movie, to get his approval first. Donner apparently loved it and then Singer went to Warner Brothers with his idea. ??

He's going to stay very true to Donner's vision of the Superman mythos, saying that the three most important aspects of the character are young Clark, the Clark facade, and Superman himself. ?

He asked if there was anything else and I presented him with the most important aspect I could think of. "Will you use John Williams music in the movie?" ??

He looked at me dead on and said very boldly, "Yes. Definitely yes."

The audience went nuts with this news. ??

This is going to be an incredible movie. It couldn't possibly be in better hands.
