March 15, 2006 – DC Comics, the largest English language publisher
of comic books worldwide, and Warner Bros. Pictures announced today
that Superman Returns director Bryan Singer and Superman Returns
screenwriters Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris are providing the
plots to four comic book prequels to Superman Returns. The four
forty-page comic book prequels will be published by DC Comics
throughout the month of June and will bridge the gap between the
first Superman film and Superman Returns, which premieres in

About SUPERMAN RETURNS: Following a mysterious absence of several
years, the Man of Steel comes back to Earth in the epic action-
adventure Superman Returns, a soaring new chapter in the saga of one
of the world's most beloved superheroes. While an old enemy plots to
render him powerless once and for all, Superman (Brandon Routh)
faces the heartbreaking realization that the woman he loves, Lois
Lane (Kate Bosworth), has moved on with her life. Or has she?
Superman's bittersweet return challenges him to bridge the distance
between them while finding a place in a society that has learned to
survive without him. In an attempt to protect the world he loves
from cataclysmic destruction, Superman embarks on an epic journey of
redemption that takes him from the depths of the ocean to the far
reaches of outer space.
