Superman projects put on hold by DC Entertainment

After years of Warner Bros trying to get another Superman movie off the ground following Returns, DC Entertainment is now saying that it doesn't have current plans for the character.

It's surprising, given that for years the iconic superhero has been on of DC and Warners' biggest cash cows, but not shocking given the troubles that have plagued a new solo outing and The Justice League.

"We actually don't have any current plans for Superman," DC Entertainment chief Diane Nelson tells MTV.

"We've obviously done a lot of great things behind the property in our history, and it's a key part of the family, but we don't have current plans behind Superman."

Yet we doubt that it'll stay that way for too long - he's too valuable to leave on the subs bench - but perhaps it signals that once again the new mega-company is trying to figure out how best to use him...
