" Superman to soar again on the Big Screen, and the studio has turned to Chris Nolan to mentor development of the movie. Our insiders say that the brains behind rebooted Batman has been asked to play a "godfather" role and ensure The Man Of Steel gets off the ground after a 3 1/2-year hiatus."
" ...we doubt Nolan would direct. This wouldn't be a sequel to Superman Returns but a completely fresh franchise."
I think this is positive.

Superman Returns sucked. I was hoping they would realize that and do this.

The problem is they don't know what to do with Superman. He is a relic from a squarer past in many ways. You just can't bank 200 million dollars on a movie that's patriotic and sincere. I guess you could get Michael Bay to do it, but he's contractually obligated to film a scene in a strip club, so that just won't work.
Seriously, I'd rather have a creative guy "godfather" it than a studio suit- but I don't know that Nolan's approach will be a cure all. If he goes with the Batman route of trying to make it feel more "real world" there's nothing inherent about that which will make the film better. If the film goes into what it would really be like to be a God amongst mortals, well, that could be neat, but it's not like it's unique to Superman. You could make that movie about any number of Superheroes.

Well I'm hoping that the rebooted Superman won't leave magic crystals lying around. I couldn't shut my brain off to accept the fact that Superman just left these island growing artifact accessible to just anyone who drunkenly stumbled into his lair. I also found it was interesting that Lex knew what was in an Igloo on top of the world.
Flying and shooting lasers out of his eyes was fine and dandy though.

I guess the superhero trend is still going strong, but I just don't know about another Superman.

Have you seen Superman II?
I think the entire movie relied on that.
The crystals' purpose, Lois's "Night with Superman" article, Luthor's knowledge of the crystals...

I've seen Superman II, but beyond Superman throwing a saran wrap shield at Zod (or his cronies) I couldn't tell you much about it.
