Good news for Superman fans!

...because there hasn't been much good news if you're a fan, right? Not since Grant Morrison's run on All-Star Superman at least.

Possibly the biggest news is that Chris Nolan is confirmed as the producer of the upcoming Superman reboot film. Let's all hope he can work his magic on the Man of Steel in the same way he did for The Dark Knight.

Of course, there's still no word as to who's directing. The press clip mentioned that David Goyer's treatment would be the basis for the story. Personally, I still can't understand why Hollywood hasn't taken any interest in Mark Millar's proposed Superman trilogy. Nearly every time he talks about it he's wagering his credibility that his story would achieve legendary status.

The other great news is that J. Michael Straczynski is scheduled to begin writing SUPERMAN at issue #701. He claims that Superman is the character he's always dreamed of writing, so if his ideas for the old blue and red are anywhere near as grandiose or imaginative as the work he did for THOR, it should end up looking like a pretty stellar run.
