Man of Steel

So, Robert Gordon, whose writting credits include Men in Black 2 and Galaxy Quest has written a script for the planned WB re-re-launch of the Superman franchise.

Latino Review got a hold of it and did a video review.

Sadly I can't embed these videos here. I'll check youtube and edit it if I find it.

Oh, what could have been...

So, now Chris Nolan is helming Superman.

Our insiders say that the brains behind rebooted Batman has been asked to play a "godfather" role and ensure The Man Of Steel gets off the ground after a 3 1/2-year hiatus.

Referring to Nolan's forthcoming Warner title INCEPTION:

While Nolan completes that Leonardo DiCaprio-starrer for a July 16th release, he's also hatched an idea for Warner Bros' third Batman installment. Now his brother and frequent collaborator Jonah Nolan, and David Goyer who co-wrote Batman Begins and penned the story for The Dark Knight, are off scripting it.
[EDIT]
As one of our insiders reassures: “It would definitely not be a followup to Superman Returns."

...say Mike Fleming and Nikki Finke in an interesting article HERE.
My first instinct was that I hope poor Christopher Nolan doesn't become the "go to" person for these kind of adaptations. At the same time, when I think about the matter very carefully, Nolan meets nearly ever criteria I have in terms of the sensibilities I'd like to see brought to the table for a SUPERMAN project - I think he'd be a magnificent shepherd as such.
Personally, I'd love to see a bit of DARK KNIGHT's gritty maturity injected into SUPERMAN, but I'd also hate to see such an approach become a predictable formula.

Hey he can't do any worse than Singer. Superman Returns was crap in a horse shit sandwich.

I feel like it was almost good. The attitude was correct, just the spectacle wasn't there. Singer can't do action to save his ass.

They better not do another origin story.

Wait, what?! Are they ignoring Singer's plan and going in a different direction, because that sounds like a shit idea. Singer laid some pretty good groundwork for an awesome series, and the perfect actor for the role, this is gonna suck.

Superman Returns was okay, but it WASN'T a Superman movie.

And I'm confused...is Nolan DIRECTING the Supe reboot, or just supervising the script (or perhaps even producing it)?

I swear to god, if Lex is the only villain in this one as well I'm never going to pay to watch this. I'm fucking done with Lex Luthor. There are so many more villians for Superman to actually fight. Darkseid or GTFO.
