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.
