EXCLUSIVE: Warner Bros is trying to ready its DC Comics stalwart 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. Nolan's leadership of the project can set it in the right direction with the critics and the fans, not to mention at the box office. Besides, Nolan is considered something of a god at Warner Bros and has a strong relationship with the studio after the success of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Though he wasn’t obligated to do so, he gave the studio first crack at his spec script Inception, and Warner Bros was able to buy it before other studios even got a sniff. While Nolan completes that Leonardo DiCaprio-starrer for a July 16th release, he's also hatched an idea for Warner Bros' third Batman installment. Now his brother and frequent collaborator Jonah Nolan, and David Goyer who co-wrote Batman Begins and penned the story for The Dark Knight, are off scripting it.

Dear Nolan,

Make sure it has a REAL supervillain this time.

No villain they could ever come up with could possibly match Terence Stamps Academy Award-worthy performance in Superman II.

I think I agree. I'd have to rewatch Superman Returns again though. I find Batman Begins hard to enjoy.

Superman Returns is pretty bad. Batman Begins is at least a fun popcorn flick, albeit overrated. My dream project is Superman, so I was kind of hoping a reboot would stay in stasis until I sucked enough cock to get a stab - but if anybody is going to produce this thing, I'm glad it's Nolan.

I thought it was the other way around. They both had horribly cheesy stories but at least Superman gave it less focus and tried to put in a lot more action scenes. I can't remember anything enjoyable about BB, even nolan's gay little growl is nearly too sad to laugh at.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #20 on:** February 09, 2010, 03:59:43 PM »

What action scenes? He rescues a plane and then spends the entire film stalking Lois Lane and listening to Owl City.

The only Batman flick Superman Returns is better than is Batman & Robin. It's a wash against Batman Forever.

Superman Returns, what a disappointment. $:-\$

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #22 on:** February 09, 2010, 04:04:24 PM »

Batman Begins is completely forgettable. I liked the beginning of Superman Returns as well as the plane scene. Plus Lex Luthor is more interesting than anything that happens in Batman Begins.

The fact that Maurice is siding with you Cohen should show that you're wrong. What's next: Superman Returns is better than Blade Runner?

I bought the blu ray of batman begins just to see the first 6 minutes of the dark knight

Then I never touched the blu ray.

But I did watch the HD DVD of Superman Returns like 3 times (It was the only one I owned after I got King Kong)

But really, they seem to be putting him on a pretty big pedestal. It makes me wonder what's going to happen when he stumbles.

BB is a popcorn flick, but one Nolan didn't view as such and that delusion worked for more than half of the movie.

I still think Singer would be the right choice to come back for a sequel, now that he's gotten his 2-1/2 hour Richard Donner blowjob out of the way.

He's the big thing right now and they've got him practically to themselves. They're going to get as much as they can out of him while he's popular. When [or if] his well runs dry, they'll quietly put him aside and let someone else have him.

Both movies sit on my exclusive shelf of "super awesome movies", but TDK had a couple of shortcomings to me:

- it's long, and virtually 2 movies put together. BB is definitely a lot more succinct.
- while I am not a particular fan of Katie Holmes, I had a bit of trouble with Maggie Gyllenhaal playing what people in the movie describe as a strikingly beautiful woman because to me she just wasn't. Her makeup always seemed to accentuate the lines under her eyes adding a good 10 years onto her appearance.

I also would like to add that Maggie Gyllenhaal has a "I'm SO goddamn BORED and TIRED" attitude and facial expression throughout the whole movie. She's so boring to watch at.

Bildi · « **Reply #38 on:** February 09, 2010, 07:56:33 PM »

"Tired" is the word I was looking for. She always looks so damn tired in the movie.

I was shocked to see her looking quite attractive in Donnie Darko. It's like she aged 20 years between the two movies.

What in BB is of any interest to anybody? Cheesy paper-thin dialogue, a crackhead trying to voice act, and a goddamn torrent of half-flaccid exposition trying to frame the crackhead as THE BAT™. That was just a bad movie man.

seeing a realistic portrayal of the "origin" of probably the most iconic and one of the oldest modern comic book heroes just comes off as really self-important and boring. Burton did it right, you show the backstory for anybody that didn't know it and let them suspend disbelief as you bring the stylized world together on the screen.

You do not tell me all about how he learned that killing is wrong. or that the bat cape has micro-polymer bullshit. And seriously, who the FUCK wants to hear Bale growl everytime he puts on a plastic mask?

The movie had nothing to do with what makes batman good.

It was an interesting change of pace. Not every single movie based on a comic book absolutely has to about total suspension of disbelief and stylized worlds. We had five Batman movies that already did that, so why get so bent out of shape when one does things differently? And why NOT explore more of the story that everyone already thinks they know everything about?

Realistic in comparison to other superhero films. You only have to suspend your disbelief on a few relatively minor plot points to be able to accept the entire film.
