Trivia
Turned down the chance to direct ''X-Men'' three times because he believed that comic books were unintelligent. He changed his mind after reading some of the comics and watching the animated series.

Quotes
[on Superman's costume for Superman Returns (2006)] I always had the general idea of the suit. With X-Men, although they had extraordinary powers, they also had physical weaknesses. The suits were for protection as well as costume. Superman is the Man of Steel. Bullets bounce off him, not the suit.
