In Warners’ continuing efforts to get a Superman movie into production before its rights expire, it’s hiring experienced comic movie scribe David Goyer to write the script, according to Variety. The script is tentatively titled Man of Steel, which Latino Review is reporting will be based on the John Byrne 80s reboot of the same name.

The film is being developed for Warners by Christopher Nolan (see “Dark Knight Director on Superman”), who knows Goyer’s work well. Goyer co-wrote Batman Begins, helped develop the story for Dark Knight, and is working with Jonathan Nolan on a script for the third Nolan Batman film.

...another origin movie/reboot for Superman. Well, after the flop of the last one that attempted to continue the film series this might not be a bad idea. Batman Begins was an excellent reboot of the series, so this could work.

I hope the story about Chris Nolan being brought on as like the overseer of Superman is also true because David Goyer alone is not really going to make for a good movie. Mysteriously, Goyer's best work comes when he's partnered with extremely talented people ex: Alex Proyas on Dark City and the Nolans on the last 2 Batman films. Goyer's strong suit in comic book movies is being a huge comic book fan and wanting to adhere to the best of the mythology.
