Mark this one as another rumour, along with the possibility that Jonathan Nolan will be directing it (although that part is highly likely), for the next Superman film.
CBM say they have seen notes on what the new film will feature. If true it should bring some of that big fighting action we want to see. Lex Luthor could be in it again, but sounds like it will be more a business type as seen in the cartoons and Smallville. He appears to be more behind the scenes in this one. Then we have the presence of Brainiac which could lead to some amazing visuals.
Now, I have seen a quick glimpse of the Superman Reboot story in NOTE FORM and can tell you that the Metropolis Police Department are featured heavily in the story trying to overcome the rising gang Intergang who are funded by Lex Luthor and do his “dirty business”. “Clark Kent” is not Superman until about 1/3 of the movie has passed and this exclusive news “rejuvinates” the failing Daily Planet reputation and also springboards the career of Lois Lane.
I know that Brainiac comes to Earth about half way through the movie but didn’t see the page of why he comes to earth as my co-worker was hogging the pages. Brainiac does cause some damage on Earth and interacts and takes over technology and stuff like that. He also kills a key person in the Superman mythology but I won’t reveal who but it isn’t Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen or Perry White.
Characters like Detectives Dan Turpin and Maggie Sawyer are featured heavily in the story along with Commisioner Henderson.
Daily Planet staff Cat Grant, Ron Troupe and Steve Lombard are also in the story but all of these are subject to change as well all know. I don’t know about casting but I do know what happens in the story. It is very much like The Dark Knight in the way you read it and how you picture it when you read it. I’m really excited about this movie and can’t wait until it comes out.
I am glad that Christopher Nolan is shepherding the Superman Reboot as he has done great things with Batman – it does make me wonder if we will have a reference to Superman or Clark Kent in the third Batman movie.
If the above is true then I would enjoy that movie. How would you feel about the above being the return adventure for Superman?
