"Nolan to Reboot Superman?

Dark Knight director to "mentor" new Man of Steel movies.

UK, February 9, 2010 - Warner Bros. has turned to Christopher Nolan -- the director of The Dark Knight and Batman Begins -- to help bring Superman back to the big screen.

Deadline Hollywood is reporting that the British helmer has been asked to play a "godfather" role in rebooting the ailing DC Comics film franchise. His precise involvement isn't specified, but it seems he will NOT be on directing duties, instead providing leadership, guiding the script, making decisions on directors and so on.

Remember, Warners only have until 2013 before the rights to Superman revert to the estates of creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster.

In the past couple of years there have been all manner of rumours surrounding the future of the Superman series: Bryan Singer making a sequel to Superman Returns, the character appearing in a Justice League movie and Mark Millar or the Wachowski brothers doing a reboot have all been mooted.

Nolan is obviously a star at Warner Bros. after making them billions of dollars -- and winning critical praise -- for his Batman films. The studio is obviously hoping he can bring the same magic touch to the Man of Steel.

The director will apparently be helping on Superman whilst also prepping Batman 3. Fresh from suggesting that David Goyer has left FlashForward to work on the sequel the other day, the story also reports that Nolan has found a "good idea" for the Caped Crusader's next adventure and that his brother, Jonah Nolan, and Goyer are working on script right now.

Stay tuned to IGN for further developments on this potentially huge story. In the meantime, let's have your thoughts on what Nolan could do with the Superman series.

accordin to this article, it looks like another movie on the Batman will be made. also it looks as if the Superman franchise will be gettin ist dignity and respect back, with Nolan workin on it. Nolan saved the Batman franchise, i have faith that he can also save the Superman one. after Singer's "Superman Returns" fiasco of 2006....the Superman franchise needs to be restored and brought back its dignity and respect.
