Reign Of Supermen?


There are more rumors surrounding the next Superman movie called "Man of Steel"

The IESB gang claim that The Prestige screenwriter Jonathan Nolan brother of "Batman Begins", The Dark Knight helmer Christopher Nolan, is being groomed to direct MOS, which he's tipped to be co-writing the script with David Goyer

Though he has never called action on a film before--The site says brother Chris will indeed oversee the next Superman through development thus guiding Jonathan-- also even serving a similar role for Green Lantern and The Flash films while directing Batman 3 culminating with the long troubled Justice League movie ... which Chris Nolan would direct after he's done with Bats 3.

Rumors for now--somehow though beyond speculation seem to make sense...

Take this-At the recent Feb. 17th celebration honoring Clint Eastwood and the release of their new DVD box set Clint Eastwood: 35 Films 35 Years at Warner Bros. IGN spoke exclusively with Warner Bros..chief suit Alan F. Horn about the studio's DC plans going forwaard, including the rumors of Nolan rebooting Superman.

"Well, I can say the DC library represents a repository of very, very important assets to us and we are, especially as Harry Potter finishes its now decade-long run here at Warner Bros., we're excited about ramping up the DC properties. I thought the first Superman -- "Superman Returns, -- was actually a pretty good film, and Chris, of course, has done a great job with the two Batman films," Horn said.

"So we expect him to be a big part of our future going forward, including with our DC properties. But I guess we think of DC as lining up planes ready to take-off on the runway. A number of properties we're very excited about and you'll be hearing about them shortly. ... I think we're going to be announcing something in the next couple of months."

Waiting for that official word...
