the blandest superhero meets the blandest director in: THE MAN OF STEEL.

[HyperZoneWasAwesome]

"hey Goyer, the movies you direct suck, so we're gonna give the job to Chris Columbus."

ah fucking hell.

Sweet jesus. Is there a more average director than Chris Columbus?

[Dickie Dee]

Maybe they feel a reboot is necessary, but Singer did a pretty good job on SR aside from the entire plot and the unnecessary extended Richard Donner blowjob scene.

Just give him the sequel but make him have to re-pitch whatever concept he wants to go with before it gets greenlit.

I saw multiple sites debunking this as a false rumor.

[rodi]

Wow, this is too good to be true.

Wow, this is too good to be true. 

Nope, it's been debunked:

Well, thank god for that. That man doesn't need to work...at all.

Collider doesn't even know that Warner has already officially said Superman is Christmas 2012 yet they are speculating summer.

Superman isn't inherently bland. Morrison's run on his All-Star comics is fabulous, as is the work on JLA, though that's an ensemble piece and different by nature.

Columbus, though? No, thank god that's a rumor.

There are other sites reporting its debunked too. The original source was a Superman fan site and actual reputable sites who get invited to film sets and junkets like Collider say it's a load of shit. Nolan, the most trusted person in all of hollywood doing super hero movies by fanboys and the studios alike isn't going to hire Chris Columbus. 

The best thing Nolan has said about this movie is that Marvel is doing it all wrong. The various super heroes do not exist in the same universes. Batman and Superman are completely different universes and having more than 1 super hero exist in the same universe would weaken the characters so his Superman and Batman franchises will never cross-over as long as he is over-seeing them.

[chronovore]

Yeah, there's no reason for a team up.

The Cheebster speaks truth.

Wrath, I've never watched much of the animated stuff. I've seen about 6 eps of Justice League, and maybe 4 total of all the Batman stuff.

Cormacaroni, that's a dirty trick. I specifically said World's Finest (proper noun), not "the world's finest comic" a qualitative statement.

[chronovore]

Dude you have to watch it, they captured Batman and Superman perfectly. And the episodes featuring the both of them were well done. I suggest you check em out.

Thanks, will do. How is the later series, "The Batman" which was apparently kind of a "Year One" type scenario?

Meh, I'd rather Adventures in Babysitting 2.
