LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - After helping director Christopher Nolan bring Batman back to the spotlight, writer David Goyer is coming on board to rejuvenate Superman.

Warner Bros. has a lot of incentive to move forward on Man of Steel, as the project is rumored to be called at this stage; under a deal with the heirs of Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel, a movie needs to be in production by 2011 or the studio will have to fork over millions.

The studio previously attempted to revive Superman in 2006 with Superman Returns, which was directed by Bryan Singer.

Goyer may end up working with Nolan on Man of Steel, as Nolan is rumored to be taking on a consulting role in the Superman franchise. Goyer and Nolan worked on developing and writing the story for Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. (Goyer wrote the screenplay for "Begins" with Nolan, but the screenplay for "Knight" Nolan wrote with his brother Jonathan Nolan.)

No dealmaking has taken place; only meetings are happening at this stage. Reps for Warners and Goyer had no comment.

Latino Review initially wrote the story of Goyer's involvement with "Steel."

As many expected Heath Ledger recieved a nomination for his role as the "Joker" in The Dark Knight (on the one year anniversary of his death). Another pleasant nomination was that of Tariji P. Henson getting a supporting actress nomination in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. However, even with all the greatness many may be surprised as to the "so-so" results for The Dark Knight. This film in particular was one of the years best films, but only picked up eight noms. The Dark Knight was the largest blockbuster in several years only picking up noms in technical categories outside the Heath Ledger nomination.

But all in all, this years Academy Awards is not too surprising even with its snubs overall it should be a good viewing!
