Zack Snyder to Direct 'Superman' Reboot

Zack Snyder has been confirmed to direct the upcoming Superman remake.

“All I can is that this is super-awesome, and I’m super-excited, by every aspect of this. He’s Superman. He’s the king of the superheroes,” the 300 and Watchmen director tells EW.

Inception‘s Christopher Nolan, who also worked on the Batman franchise’s The Dark Knight, will produce the film, expected for a holiday 2012 release.

No word on who will play the popular DC Comics hero (Brandon Routh most recently took on the title character in 2006′s Superman Returns).

WHO DO YOU THINK should play the next Superman?
