"Christopher Nolan is producing Zack Snyder's MAN OF STEEL."

This shows that Nolan is becoming a shlockmeister producer on the level of Speilberg or Luc Besson. It's funny how that happens. With Following and Memento, he seemed a maker of art films. Now he's going from A-List blockbuster maker (Inception) to B-List shlockbuster producer. Superman: the word has ceased to ring a bell for me. It's been so done to death, and there are so many Superheroes, I can no longer remember which vinyl uniard we're talking about.

"Best news of the year for me: Zack Snyder has been given the directing job on the new Superman film."

Are you really serious? All Snyder's movies have been roundly trashed by the critics:

300: Metacritic 31.
Watchmen: Meticritic 56
Suckerpunch: Metacritic 33

How you can adore stuff like this and yet admire and worship Kubrick and Herzog is a little beyond me.
