Watchmen Showrunner on Man of Steel Sequel 2
Thank to a new Exclusive from CB and them getting a interview with Watchmen (HBO) showrunner Damon Lindelof (LOST, Prometheus) we have some new interesting quotes about what he thinks of a Man of Steel Sequel and the idea of a modern day Superman.
"It's immensely flattering to even be considered for ... I think that obviously he's up there with Batman and the two kind of the big two. It's incredibly daunting," Lindelof tells us. "I think the challenge with Superman is always going to be what does Superman mean in the contemporary framework? For a character, for a culture that's basically moved into this sphere of antiheroes, how do you make space for Superman who is sort of the original superhero? But it's interesting that you mentioned J.J. because long before I worked with him on Lost, J.J. actually wrote a Superman script that never got made for a variety of reasons mostly of which I think is like that Wolfgang Petersen was trying to make a Superman Versus Batman movie," the writer adds. "They were also trying to do JLA. This was all before Chris Nolan came in and basically took over Batman, et cetera, but it all kind of just got lost in the wash. He's had a long-term obsession with Superman. I guess what I would say is I would love to see a J.J. Superman movie, but I don't have a take on the character that would be better than that." - SOURCE
