Zack Snyder is directing the Superman reboot

As you all have no doubt been made aware, the Superman reboot apparently has a director: Zack Snyder.

At this point, we know that Chris Nolan is producing the film, David Goyer is writing it and now Snyder is directing it.

The entire purpose of this effort is far from complete however. What kind of script is Goyer writing? Is it something that pays tribute to the character and his history? Or is it yet another attempt at "modernization"?

To what extent will Nolan's influence be felt upon the production?

Will Nolan and Snyder be able to put aside their jaded view of humanity so prevalent in their respective films and emphasize the warmth, optimism and hope that have defined Superman for decades?

Can we at least be sure that Blandon Routh won't be coming back?

This is far from over.

Nolan and Goyer Confirm Involvement on Superman Movie

The LA Times has gotten confirmation from Christopher Nolan and Goyer will indeed be working on the next Superman "reboot". Here are some quotes from the article:

"It's very exciting, we have a fantastic story," Christopher Nolan said while sipping tea in the sleek editing suite that fills the converted garage adjacent to his Hollywood home. "And we feel we can do it right. We know the milieu, if you will, we know the genre and how to get it done right."

Goyer added:

"He basically told me, 'I have this thought about how you would approach Superman,' " Nolan recalled. "I immediately got it, loved it and thought: That is a way of approaching the story I've never seen before that makes it incredibly exciting. I wanted to get Emma and I involved in shepherding the project right away and getting it to the studio and getting it going in an exciting way."
