UPDATE:
Variety have confirmed the story...
"David Goyer will help Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures get Superman off the ground again.
The writer-director-producer has been tapped to pen the next bigscreen adventure of the Man of Steel, the working title of the next pic."
UPDATE 2: IGN have an exclusive update on this story and claim not only is Goyer on board, but his The Dark Knight co-writer Jonah Nolan will also be scripting Superman: The Man of Steel along with him. Nolan's brother Christopher is expected to only executive-produce, and not direct, the film. That said, he will be "hands-on" as a producer. Since the Superman film is under the gun because of the ongoing legal entanglements involving the property, Warner Bros. wants the pair to get started on their script on the double.
Their sources add that Warners is confident in the early work that Goyer and Jonah Nolan have done so far on Batman 3, and that as a result Superman has now taken on a higher priority status at the studio than it had since Superman Returns was released.
