Variety are running an interesting report concerning the next Superman film, dubbed Man of Steel,

“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.”

The article continues, stating that WB are now accepting pitches for new writers. There is also some speculation about the nature of the next movie, some saying that it will be revolutionised in the same way that the new Hulk feature is being improved, whilst the WB are adamant that it will remain a true sequel to Superman Returns.
