Bryan Singer is turning nasty, he’s no longer interested in movies about the superheroes of the X-Men and Superman franchise. Oh no, the next comic book project we will see with his name attached will be much darker.

Variety say he will produce but not direct Capeshooters, a new movie from Warner Bros. based on the upcoming comic creation by Rob Liefeld, the former Marvel Comics artist who left to become co-founder of Image Comics.

In Capeshooters, two slackers shoot guerilla style footage of superheroes but find themselves in all kinds of trouble when they shoot evidence that a superhero is actually a bad guy villain. Presumably, the villain doesn’t want that evidence to get out and he does everything in his power to stop it.

J.P. Lavin and Chad Damiani, two producers who worked on the show Anchorwomen will adapt the screenplay.

Don’t mind the idea behind the plot, can’t get excited over the chosen writers though. Would have loved to see Singer direct this actually, and with a little less pressure prove to us that he still has something to say in this genre as the future of the Superman franchise hangs up in the air.
