David S. Goyer Talks Writing Process For “Man of Steel”

Christopher Nolan & David S. Goyer (Minds behind the Dark Knight Trilogy) are over seeing the new WB blockbuster with Zach Snyder’s Superman reboot “Man of Steel“. Screenwriter Goyer talks about his approach to the new film, and what made his past film experiences successful. For all screenwriters, or any film buffs this is some pretty titillating stuff here.

“What Christopher Nolan and I have done with Superman is try to bring the same naturalistic approach that we adopted for the Batman trilogy. We always had a naturalistic approach, we want our stories to be rooted in reality, like they could happen in the same world we live in. It’s not that easy with Superman, and actually this doesn’t necessarily mean we will make a dark movie. But working on this reboot we are thinking about what would happen if a story like this one actually happened,” he explained. “How would people react to this? What impact would the presence of Superman in the real world have? What I really like to do is write ‘genre’ stories without a cartoonish element…I’ll do the same with Man of Steel.

If you enjoyed the Dark Knight films then you’re going to be pretty please with what’s in store for next summer’s “Man of Steel.”
