Oh yeah this is getting good!

What an Unmitigated Disaster. What the HELL is DC Entertainment thinking?

The OBVIOUS choice is the writer of the only Superman story worth reading:
GRANT MORRISON.

I just want to know how this will lead to him getting choked out by Wesley Snipes.

While I disagree about it being the only Superman story worth reading, you are right. Morrison is the obvious choice.

Nolan AND Goyer? Superman is saved!

Nolan AND Goyer? Superman is finished.

Has he ever written a movie?

He has actually written a film script. Halloween Knights I think it was called.

But I agree that he probably wouldn't suit the format of a big budget movie script. As a consultant though he might be good.

Now as to Goyer....don't people realize he's not that good? His script were heaviliy rewritten by the Nolans, Guillermo Del Toro kept flinging Blade 2 drafts back at him, his idea for Ghost Rider is poor.

Blade 3 people....Blade 3.

Anyone actually read the article?

They said the rumours were false.

Still, the idea of a Brainiac attack and the exploration of Kryptonian mythology sounds good

I thought DC lost the rights to Superman's Kryptonian origin?

**Hromovlad** · 02-26-2010, 02:15 AM

That does not mean they can't buy them back or at least get a license

It wouldn't be until 2013 though.

So, what you're saying is Goyer is only good news if they get a director who will make him redo it alot?
I can see it happening. Hopefully...
