Christopher Nolan MAY Reboot Superman


News is flying about this piece of info.

Batman's Christopher Nolan has been asked to mentor the new Superman movies!

Nikki Finke and Mike Fleming are reporting that Warner Bros is about to announce its Superman movie plans – and they’re giving them to Batman Begins/Dark Knight’s Chris Nolan to mentor. While he won’t make the film himself, he will be hands-on involved in its development.

DC Entertainment has teased a bunch new movie announcements shortly, but the expectation was for the likes of Flash and Wonder Woman rather than the big blue. But Deadline Hollywood is sure and it’s a reboot for the franchise. They quote one insider as saying “It would definitely not be a followup to Superman Returns.”

This does not in any way replace the third installment of Nolan’s Batman movies, which his brother Jonah Nolan and just-left-FlashForward David Goyer, are working on right now.

I'm sure DC Entertainment will ride this info for what it's worth. But I have to say the buzz is giving me some good feelings about WW. Maybe some good news will be coming out in the next few weeks about her too.

I'd love to see another Superman movie. I'm totally fine with no follow up to Superman Returns. I enjoyed it, thought Brandon R. did great. But there was something off. Starting with Superman having a son.

Well, he's done a great job on Batman... so that's good news.

I was fine with Superman's son... I think that was probably the only element handled well. Everything seemed to be pushing Superman away from keeping an Earth-connection. That said... Bosworth was a b-o-r-e. So void of characterization that she should've been a Cylon Centurion, not Lois f'in Lane!
