News broke overnight that Zack Snyder has been named as the director of the next Superman film. I can't say as that choice is a popular one with me, considering that Snyder didn't quite find the right note for the Watchmen flick in 2009. What bothered me most about that film was the way in which Snyder didn't seem to "get" some of the finer details of Moore and Gibbons' masterpiece, despite deciding to slavishly recreate most of its story. In other words, I don't think Snyder's necessarily all that brilliant an artist in his own right.
Chris Nolan, on the other hand, is. With him producing and contributing to the screenplay of Superman VI (definitely not the actual title!), there's reason for hope. Considering how amazing Nolan's two Batman installments have been to date, his is exactly the touch that I'd want to see on Kal-El's adventures. So it should be interesting to see which influence wins out. And just the confirmation that this franchise is actually moving forward again, after the disastrous and embarrassing Superman Returns, is good news to me.
