This is very promising. I was very dissapointed with the last Supeman, but this one will be directed by Zach Snyder (Dawn of the Dead, 300, Watchmen, and Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole), and was co-writen by Christopher Nolan (Memento, Batman Begins, The Prestige, The Dark Knight, and Inception) and David S. Goyer (Blade 1,2,3, Batman Begins, Jumper, The Dark Knight, and the upcoming Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance).
