It looks like Captain America and Spider-Man won't be the only superheroes making headlines this week, as we now have confirmation that "The Dark Knight" director Christopher Nolan is indeed shepherding a new Superman movie into development. Nolan's "Batman Begins" story partner David Goyer is currently working on a script for the film, confirming another rumor that made the rounds recently.
“We’re approaching it in a not dissimilar way in terms of trying to find an incredible story in a way that audiences can engage with it the way they engage with contemporary action films,” Nolan told the L.A. Times. "I think David’s approach is a very good way of doing just that."
While Nolan's confirmation comes just shy of a month after DC Entertainment's president told MTV News the company "had no plans" for pairing the "Dark Knight" director with Superman, the celebrated director and his wife, producer Emma Thomas, stopped short of confirming any of the other details surrounding the Man of Steel's return to the big screen — including whether it would indeed be titled "Man of Steel" (as suggested by earlier reports).

Are Christopher Nolan And David Goyer The Right Filmmakers For A 'Superman' Relaunch?

But is it really? There's certainly no arguing the success of "The Dark Knight," but the Caped Crusader and the Man of Tomorrow work for entirely different reasons. So while neither Nolan nor Goyer are absolutely confirmed for the sequel, the very mention of their name begs an unpopular question: Is this the right team for the next "Superman" movie?
In hiring Nolan and Goyer for a movie with a title reminiscent of their 2008 collaboration, Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment are seemingly hoping to strike lightning in the same spot twice. In late 2008, word broke that studio executives were hoping for a "darker" reboot of the "Superman" franchise. If that's still their aim, and if Nolan and Goyer are the guys for the job, it's likely that they'll get their wish. Read More...
