Superman
J.J. Abrams is already the king of the geeks, helming both Paramount's Star Trek franchise as well as the upcoming Disney Star Wars sequel. A leaked treatment for a film codenamed "Superman Flyby" emerged earlier this year, and revealed that he was also preparing to get his hands on the superhero genre.
"Man of Steel" is a huge film for Warner Bros as the studio no longer has the money making "Dark Knight" and "Harry Potter" franchises to rely on financially. The importance of the new Superman flick is so great that the company has even stated that the future of the "Justice League" movie will depend on the gross of "Man of Steel." Given the "Dark Knight's" success, it is no surprise that the Christopher Nolan-directed films keep getting brought up in conversations relating "Man of Steel." But is it a good thing for the upcoming "Superman" movie?
Christopher Nolan is known for being secretive about his upcoming projects and to this point, little has been known about "Man of Steel." However, rumors have started to spread about the inclusion of two new villains in the upcoming film.
Witness the birth of a franchise. If anything can be gleaned from the new “Man of Steel” trailer, it’s that Superman is in for the best reboot since “Batman Begins.”
The Man of Steel trailer has arrived, and regardless of your opinion of the new footage, Superman's latest adventure certainly has the message boards buzzing with activity
