If Warner Brothers has any hope of competing with Marvel at the movies, the studio is going to need to get Superman up and running before it can concentrate on its smaller properties. Behind Batman, Superman is DC’s most well-known character, and he has the potential to bring in just as much money as the Caped Crusader at the box office. And next summer, director Zack Snyder will attempt to modernize Supes in the highly-anticipated reboot, Man of Steel, with Henry Cavill taking on the iconic role.
In order to give this character the movie he deserves, it looks like the producers and writers are taking the complete opposite direction from its previous incarnations by presenting Superman in the same realistic light as Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy. Recently, Collider grabbed some quotes (via Bad Taste) that Man of Steel and Dark Knight writer David Goyer gave about the direction of the film.

The first Terrence Malick-esque teaser for the movie certainly illustrated this natural approach for the character, but it remains to be seen if that style can work throughout an entire film. We’ll have to wait until Man of Steel gets released on June 14, 2013 to see if Superman will get new life at the movies.
