Like I said, I just feel of those mentioned he's the better choice. Scott would've been the only other good choice I think, but I'm just not sure how well he would be able to handle that comic book/superhero world type style. Snyder has at least proven he can. Plus he has shown that he does a good job of blending character study/action/storytelling well enough. I like the choice.

That being said, I really think Nolan will at least have some decent influence in this. Also the story is coming from him. Not to mention I think Jonathan as well will be there to help out. So I think Nolan will ensure Snyder doesn't get carried away.

The reason I say it.

You have Nolan backing it, and he is going to try to make it a Batman success. Which was only a success because of its darker real to life tone. I don't mind a real to life tone with Superman, that would be kinda cool.

You have several other guys, like Moore, that are sitting at WB offices telling them constantly "Superman needs to be dark, look at the darker comics" and maybe WB did budge?

Superman will have to meet Batman, since WB is making a Justice League movie. Since its the two big powerhouse superheroes, they need some sort of relevance. You cant have dark and griddy tone Batman movies, mix with upper-tone, not down to earth Superman movies.

I agree, but It most likely will turn out to be the same. Very epic looking shots, alot of slow motion, and vibrant shots all over. With a Superman movie that isn't exactly bad though.

One thing I do want to see however, is Zach to make his own original film with the talent and experience he has now. All he makes is adaptations of other projects, I want to see something original. Like Nolans Inception.

Agree. Nolan IS our savior. That's why I have no worries about story (which is a weak point of Snyder...and Scott too) when it comes to this decision. I also think he'll want to make sure that Snyder doesn't muck it up because Nolan's name will be all over the movie (just to ride on the coattails of his popularity right now--I can see it now "from the people that brought you Inception, The Dark Knight and 300 comes....The Man of Steel").

But yea, we'll have to wait and see. Bottom line, Nolan has been heading this project. And I have faith in him that he's chosen the best man for the job (he has a knack for that).
