Why are you guys listening to those stupid internet rumors anyway? This time even the people around Hollywood were spooked.

One of the big stories on Monday was that Warner Bros was considering dumping the proposed Superman Returns sequel altogether. Brandon Routh would instead star as Superman in the recently announced Justice League of America movie. A juicy rumor which we did not report because, well, it’s not true.

Even Variety today is slamming internet websites for reporting such nonsense.

“While the Internet is home to both news and pure rumor, the two sometimes get mixed up, said Pamela McClintock of Variety. “One thing is for sure, though: Superman isn’t flying off the Warners lot.”

So there you have it.
