Chrisotpher Nolan on Superman Reboot and Batman 3!

So, they're rebooting the Suprman franchise again after the disappointing box-office turn of Superman Returns.  To help get the movie on track The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan had been called in to help construct the film. 

Here's some snippets of a recent interview he had with The L.A. Times:

“It’s very exciting, we have a fantastic story,” Christopher Nolan said while sipping tea in the sleek editing suite that fills the converted garage adjacent to his Hollywood home. “And we feel we can do it right. We know the milieu, if you will, we know the genre and how to get it done right."
The Internet flurry that included reports that, according to Thomas, might be better described as fan fiction. The dispatches revealing that the film will be called “Man of Steel” ? and feature Lex Luthor and Brainiac? Or the one about it being a period piece with something like a low-fi version of the hero?

“I don’t know where this stuff comes from,” Thomas said with a chuckle, although, as with any good poker player, it’s hard to say where the bluff starts and ends.
 
Nolan says he has no idea who will direct the Superman film (there has been conjecture that it may be his brother and frequent collaborator, Jonathan Nolan) but his role appears to be comparable Peter Jackson with “District 9,” which was directed by newcomer Neill Blomkamp but benefited greatly from imprimatur of the “The Lord of the Rings” auteur. 

And as for Batman 3?  Well, it's currently being written right now: 

“Without getting into specifics, the key thing that makes the third film a great possibility for us is that we want to finish our story,” he said. “And in viewing it as the finishing of a story rather than infinitely blowing up the balloon and expanding the story.”

Hmm, well while Nolan's big film of the mo', Inception, is to be released this summer I imagine the Superman reboot will be put back until he takes on Batman 3.  Warner Bros. don't want to him to wait too long to release another potential cash cow!  

Maybe they should follow the direction of this unknown masterpiece called Turkish Superman:
