Superman movie set for holiday season 2012
THR reports that Warner Bros. has confirmed the holiday season of 2012 as the planned release date for a “Superman” movie reboot. Warner chairman and CEO Barry Meyer said a “Flash” film is nearing a green light, and that Wonder Woman and Aquaman films are both in development. The “Superman” film is being mentored by Christopher Nolan (“Dark Knight”), but he’s not expected to direct. David Goyer is the reported screenwriter. No word as of yet on who will play the Man of Steel in the reboot. “Superman Returns” star Brandon Routh said recently he’d be up for another go in the role, but his original contract has expired.
The ongoing lawsuit over the Superman rights could play into this timing as well.

December of 2012 will be the 35th anniversary of Superman the Movie. Maybe, opening in the same month as the first big-budget Superman will bring this new production some luck.
The pair re-envisioned the character, who became more of a hero in the mythic tradition, inspired by such characters as Samson and Hercules,
