The story also provides insight as to who may be writing the script. Writers Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris, who wrote Superman Returns, are out. So who is in? Well, the strong possibility is that the film will be written by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman. The duo previously gained notice for their script writing on Transformers.
The pair of writers have apparently had "several meetings" with Warner Brothers regarding the film.
Brandon Routh, who played Superman in Superman Returns, has already confirmed that he will be returning for Superman: The Man of Steel as well.
Man of Steel comes to theaters June 14th, 2013 and stars Russell Crowe, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Michael Shannon, Laurence Fishburne, Christopher Meloni. The film is directed by Zack Snyder.

hell yeah, he is gonna do the same with superman like he did with batman, when we all heard it was getting redone we were not to impressed with what we had delt with before, and 100% of us ate our words, this man is quite literally in my opinion a force to be reckon with when it comes to cinema

Yeh I know, its like the biggest tragedy in terms of film-making, its pretty hard to keep the passion, and when it goes, its devastating. I think its the same reason that sequels almost always fail, they cant keep the energy up. But I think Nolan is too smart for that, he always has the right stuff for a movie, and he and his brother probably keep each other in check.

thx @I AM FRATSON its sad but true these guys get one maybe two good films under their belt and its like their attention for detail is the first thing to go along with their passion for the work, like actors they think their better than what they are and let the hype mess them up,

I believe the kid was only put in place to keep the feelings toward Lois and Supes alive. What women would leave their husband for a man that may disappear for several years again. She was very heart broken even resentful. So that tie is what still attracts her to him.

Alright I finished watching the old superman 1/2 this weekend, and I challenge anyone to watch those two movies then watch the new one. If you still think it sucks then you shouldn't have gone to see the movie. What the heck did you expect? I for one love the movie. I would like to see more action on the next one. His son makes things complicated not sure where they were going with that one but I would rather see them see that thru than abandon it.

reboot, bring back the great music from superman 1 and 2 or this franchise will still suck, stop removing music from franchises (terminator/star trek/bond et). lets get shia lebouf to play superman ^_^ im jking. Im suprised micheal gay hasnt bought this franchise as well. Singers take was horrible and watered down just like the x-men movie (esp stupid for killing the lead x-men) despite great cast placement for proffesor xavier and magneto and wolverine. xmen is in no way comparable to the great comic. neither was returns although xmen movies are like citizen kane compared to superman returns. Just bring superman music back, all you have to do. Have an actual comic artist start designing sets and costumes for these movies and we wont have weak watered down superhero movies.
