I think Nolan will be good because he understands characters. He brought the darkness to Batman because that style works with that character. He is certainly smart enough to understand why Singer’s film failed. I think this is a good thing for Superman, even though I’ve never been a huge fan of the character.

Nolan is probably my favorite director working right now. If anyone could end up being the next Hitchcock, it’s him.

The adult equivalent of a snow day is when the house your apartment is in has a large parking area, a 50 foot driveway, no plow or snowblower, and you pick up the phone and tell work you won’t be in that day. Man, I miss those days.

Oddly enough, here in the Pacific Northwest we’ve had the mildest winter I can remember. We haven’t had any snow at all thus far, and at the moment the sun is shining and the sky is blue. Go figure that things would be so mild here of all places, while the rest of the country looks like Jack Frost went on a bender.

Not sure how I feel about Nolan working on the Superman franchise. I’m certainly a big fan of what he’s done with Batman, but then the Batman universe lends itself to his cold, dark style.

Superman, on the other hand, is about the American ideal of hope and optimism, and I haven’t found that in any of Nolan’s films. Bryan Singer tried bringing more grit and moral complexity to Superman, and look how that turned out.

Like I said, I’m a big fan of Nolan’s, and I’m hoping for the best here, but I’m not sure what to expect.
