02-27-2010 Weirdest Robkast After helping Christopher Nolan bring Batman back to the spotlight,
writer/director David Goyer is coming on board to rejuvenate Superman.
Warner Bros. has a lot of incentive to move forward on "Man of Steel,"
as the project is rumored to be called at this stage, under a deal with
Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel. The studio previously attempted to
revive Superman in 2006 with "Superman Returns," which was directed by
Bryan Singer.
Goyer may end up working with Nolan on "Man of Steel," as Nolan is
rumored to be taking on a consulting role in the Superman franchise.
Goyer and Nolan worked on developing and writing the story for "Batman
Begins" and "The Dark
Knight"
No deal has taken place only meetings are happening at this
stage. Goyer is no stranger to the DC Universe. He wrote a draft of
"The Flash" several years ago, and back in 2000 he wrote the "Justice
Society" comic book with Geoff Johns (who last week was appointed DC's
chief creative office).
