Since the new Batman movies completely redeemed what had become a pretty campy franchise, we’ve been hearing about new reboots for super-hero flicks all over the place. Spiderman’s doing it (sadly without Wes Anderson on board), The Hulk did it (about a week after the first one came out), and (I know this isn’t a reboot, but I want to bring it up because it’s awesome) Michel Gondry is directing Seth Rogan in The Green Hornet.
So, when they decided to reboot Superman, which “will definitely not be a follow-up to Superman Returns,” they got good ol’ Christopher Nolan to come over and help (not write or direct) breathe some new life into perhaps the most iconic superhero of all time.
[There’s also a small segment in the article this links to about a third Batman, so read up.]
I’m excited by this news, but do you guys think Superman has the same potential as Batman to be re-imagined and re-packaged?
