Variety reports that "X2" and "Superman Returns" director Bryan Singer will produce for Warner Bros. a feature film project based on the comic book series "Capeshooters." Singer will oversee production via his Bad Hat Harry production company.

J.P. Lavin and Chad Damiani will pen the screenplay. The project is based on an upcoming comic creation by Rob Liefeld, the former Marvel Comics artist who left to become co-founder of Image Comics.

"Capeshooters" tells of two slackers who become paparazzi to the superheroes. They find themselves in danger when one of the superheroes they photograph turns out to be a secret villain.
