David Goyer will be writing the next Superman film titled Man of Steel. Goyer co-wrote both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight with Jonathan Nolan and is currently the showrunner of FlashForward. He also wrote and directed Blade: Trinity but it is very unlikely that he will be taking on directing duties for this film.

"Thomas Tull, the head of Legendary, got tired of all the discussion and decided chingate, let's do it. So he went to Goyer and Goyer had an idea that actually takes the movies back to the John Byrne incarnation. Modern. Believable. FUN! So Tull got Goyer hired. The film will not be called Superman and will be called THE MAN OF STEEL."

• Brandon Routh will not star in the film.
• Nic Cage will NOT star in the fllm (lol)
• Bryan Singer is not expected to direct.

"I can tell you that Goyer's story involves Luthor and Brainiac. It is NOT an origin and assumes audiences already know about Lois, Clark, Jimmy and Perry. I know the Daily Planet is struggling due to the internet. And I know it sets up a huge Kryptonian mythology."

Goyer will be reuniting with Christopher Nolan since it was recently announced that he would provide guidance on the next film. Superman Returns, the most recent film entry in the franchise, opened back in 2006. It was considered a disappoint as it received mixed reviews and only earned $391,081,192 worldwide. While that may sound like a great number, the film carried a massive $270 million budget.
