 Over the course of eleven years Warner Bros. would develop and then cancel Tim Burton 's Superman Lives , which would have starred Nicolas Cage , Wolfgang Petersen 's Batman vs. Superman , and the J. J. Abrams scripted Superman : Flyby , which went between directors Joseph " McG " Nichols and Brett Ratner . The studio hired Bryan Singer to take over the franchise in 2004 , releasing Superman Returns in 2006 , which starred newcomer Brandon Routh . Donner 's director 's cut for Superman II was also released that year . Despite positive reviews , Warner Bros. was disappointed with the financial performance of Superman Returns , and canceled Singer 's proposed sequel . The studio nearly went in production of a Justice League film with George Miller directing and D. J. Cotrona as Superman , but it was shelved in 2008 and the film series was rebooted in 2013 with Man of Steel , directed by Zack Snyder and produced by Christopher Nolan . Henry Cavill reprised the role of Superman in 2016 with Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice .
