Zack Snyder
According to Deadline New York, Warner Bros has finally announced who has been chosen to direct the Superman reboot and it is none other than the guy who brought you 300, Watchmen and currently in post-production Sucker Punch. This could be good. 300 was a decent movie. Whatever it lacked had more to do with story than anything directorial, I thought. And unlike some people I’ve spoken to, I had no problem with Watchmen and happen to enjoy the film a lot. I do agree that some of the story details needed to be updated a bit, but again, probably not Snyder’s fault. David Goyer, who apparently had an issue with Batman 3 and opted for working on Superman instead, will be writing the script. As previously announced, Chris Nolan will be producing. The good thing about reboots is that we get to see some fresh talent. Here are some possibilities …
Why not Tom Welling? He’s been playing him for years already
Mad Men’s Jon Hamm was reportedly in “serious” consideration
also rumored was Chuck’s Zachary Levi
Someone mentioned John Barrowman but I think he’d make a better Lex
Remember back when Tim Burton was trying to make this happen?

Tom Welling from Smallville is the ONLY choice for Superman. Expect my article any day now about why he needs ot be cast as Clark/Superman.

Welling is my pick. I’d also like to see Til Schweiger as Zod.
