Just a couple of days ago, we brought you the news about David S. Goyer (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight) signing on to pen the script for a new Superman movie entitled, The Man of Steel. Now comes word that Director, Christopher Nolan’s brother – Jonah is reportedly in talks to helm the film…. and that’s not all –

From IESB:

OK. So we know David Goyer and Jonah Nolan are writing The Man of Steel and Batman 3. We’re hearing outta Burbank a key reason behind Chris’ “Godfather” role is to help out li’l brother Jonah. “Why’s that?” you ask. Because latest rumblings peg him to sit in the director’s chair for the Superman reboot.

This, of course, would mark his directorial debut after working with his brother on three Batman films, The Prestige and not to mention his (ultimately un-credited) stint on Terminator: Salvation and writing Interstellar for Steven Spielberg. Jonah’s a solid writer, for sure. But making your first feature a no-doubt $200 million+ blockbuster tentpole with the intention of sequels down the line? Of course, this could just be a part of somebody’s wish list – maybe the studio or maybe “Godfather” Nolan.

How about Chris himself? Sure, he’s helming Batman 3. But most of us assumed he was going to call it a day after the third installment. The whispers in our ear (again unconfirmed!) say Chris will shepherd his Batman and the next cinematic Superman (and presumably Ryan Reynolds’ Green Lantern, The Flash and others) towards a Justice League movie. That he will direct after The Man of Steel and Batman 3 are released.

Warner Bros. has yet to officially comment on any of these claims.
