Superman Returns?

With 'Batman' director?

I'm all for Christopher Nolan but...more superheroes? Why not put this one down and call it a day?

From Hollywood News:

"Deadline Hollywood has reported that Nolan – fan-fave director or 'Batman Begins' and 'The Dark Knight' – has been approached by Warner to serve as a guiding 'Godfather' on a planned “Superman” reboot. It’s unlikely Nolan would direct the picture, as the article also states that Nolan has 'hatched an idea' for a third Batman movie and probably would move on to that project instead.


"The story does it make it clear, however, that the new Superman movie would not be a sequel to Bryan Singer’s 'Superman Returns,' which was well-received by critics and fans but considered a financial disappointment thanks, in part, to its lofty budget. This would be a complete reboot, a la Batman when Nolan first took over or the current reboot on Spider-Man, Daredevil and countless other superhero characters. It’s a good time to be in the comic-book business. More on the Superman story as it develops."


Remember when Nicolas Cage wanted to do this? He named his son Kal-El for heck's sake. Anyway, here's my idea. Nic Cage, Werner Herzog, man of steel, cocaine, iguanas. And let's put Brad Dourif, Michael Shannon and ex Batman Val Kilmer in there as well. That's a fresh take. That's something to look up to the skies for. One can dream...
