Warner Bros. is reportedly turning to Christopher Nolan to act as a “godfather” to help shepherd development of a new Superman film. He is NOT writing and or directing (crowd goes awww), he instead will be a mentor to those involved. Deadline’s Finke and Fleming insist that a new Superman is in very early stages of development. The only sourced quote that will matter to most readers is, “It would definitely not be a follow-up to Superman Returns.”
Finke and Fleming also say that Jonathan Nolan and David Goyer are actively working on a Batman 3 script right now; they say that Christopher Nolan came up with a story idea and that they’ll write a draft while he finishes Inception. Thanks for that.
In regards to Superman, I can see it now; Christopher Nolan strolls into an office filled with a bunch of writers. They go silent. Nolan slowly walks around a table with papers scattered on it. He stops and picks up a script page from the table. He shakes his head, pulls out his pen and makes a change to it before throwing it back on the table. He begins to walk out of the room, he stops. He turns around quickly and exclaims: “Oh and you’re welcome!”
