George Miller was floated about last year. He'd be great for the project.
I'd also throw my hat in for Guillermo Del Toro, David Yates, Martin Campbell and Guy Ritchie.
I really wish they'd give the writing gig to Whedon. He's more a Marvel guy, but I imagine he'd love the chance to play with these iconic character. I'm just imagining the cool funny banter his characters might have in the Daily Planet office. Probably most of them would know Clark's secret, otherwise he'd have nobody to talk to.
So yeah, Superman would basically be Buffy. It could work!

Greg Berlanti.
I could imagine a Tarantino version where Supes wouldn't be dark, but because he's invulnerable he'd feel quite detached from human experience. The moral would be, "The human race is for life, not just for Christmas."Tarantino. Superman vs Lobo. Y'all thought Snyder's version was dark...
The Flash to start shooting in January:

The article also mentions that the movie has been delayed from its original March 2018 date, but I haven't seen that info anywhere else...

*Tarantino's 9th movie*
*Samuel L Jackson as Lex Luthor*
*Filmed in 70mm film*
Superman talks for 40 minutes about life and some nonsense.
Superman- I never liked that "Kill Bill" monologue about Clark Kent is how Superman views us.

It doesn't bother me, because it just reflects the Bill character's interpretation of Clark and Superman. And since Bill is the villain (I gather, having only seen fragments, including that speech), that makes him an unreliable narrator. His spiel reflects his own view of humanity, as illustrated by his skewed interpretation of how Superman sees humanity.
He's already set his sights to directing Booster Gold

Still, even though he has professed his love for that character in the past, if given the opportunity I'm sure he would consider a Superman film.
After some of the backlash from MoS, and BvS I wouldn't be surprised to see WB aim for a "safe pair of hands" or someone who will "play the game". The real trick will be how well the combination of the writer/director work. Goyer and Snyder were very collaborative in both MoS and BvS and the big decisions they made together are generally seen to be the areas where fans clamour that the pair misinterpreted the characters (Clarkes pessimism, death of Zod, destructo-porn, Batman the vicious vigilante with a gun, Lex the lunatic).
I guess it also depends on which route DC/WB want to go down. Continue down the daker, grimmer, more adult approach, or start being a bit more playful and and fun. Either route is worthwhile, they just need to commit to it and stop toeing the line.
For a darker approach I'd love someone like Denis Villeneuve, who with Prisoners, Enemy and Scicario has shown a real flair for taut drama, ensemble casts and moral quandries. I'd love to see him try a full on action film. Or, perhaps even Chrispher McQuarrie, who as a writer/director has shown some real action chutspa with Rogue Nation and Jack Reacher.
For a lighter approach I'd love Brad Bird, who with the fourth Mission Impossible showed a flair for action, but with Iron Giant, The Incredibles and yes, even Tomorrowland. has a wistfulness and respect for classically told adventure films, which I think would be a great fit for.
Sadly, both of them have their schedules full to 2020 with Blade Runner sequels, Incredible Sequels and other properties.
The crazy answer is Luc Besson - loving to see a madcap, ultra colourful, playful Superman on our screens. But he most certainly would not fit the mould that WB have set for their current template of flicks.
But the real answer is George Miller because after Fury Road I desperately want to see the Justice League he had in his mind in the early 00's. And frankly I just want to see more of Miller's approach to in-camera action supplemented by CGI, making the world. the stunts, the crazy feel more believable.
Hugo - Glad they are doing another Superman film as he was severely shortchanged in BvS and needed a proper followup to the flawed MoS. Plus I like Cavill a lot in the role. He needs a better chance to shine.
Yeah, but we're just wishing here anyway.
Honestly, at this point I think the problem is more with the studio than the filmmakers. Sure, one can argue that Snyder and Ayer were the wrong choices for their respective films, but it's WB that picked them, WB that approved the scripts and the directions, and WB whose meddling appears to have damaged the films -- by forcing the MoS sequel to set up a shared universe, by doing whatever they did in reshoots/re-edits of Suicide Squad, etc. Of course I don't know what's really going on behind the scenes, but the impression I get is that WB doesn't understand its DC properties and doesn't know how to handle them. Maybe that will change in the future with Geoff Johns being put more directly in charge of the DC movies, but if WB's execs are still the ones making the final calls, then even Johns may not be able to set them straight.
Yes. And as his first two films showed, "lighter" doesn't mean insubstantial or lacking in emotional depth. I mean, can anyone with a soul watch the climax of The Iron Giant without crying? (I'm tearing up just thinking about it.) The best "light" movies have a touch of darkness too, and Bird can definitely deliver that.
Igh. I utterly detested The Fifth Element. I never want to see another Besson film.
That would be good. Both Miller as director and what you say about physical/in-camera effects. I've always wanted to see a Superman aerial action sequence performed by skydivers, with the only CG being the erasure of chute packs and camera rigs and the like. A "flying" sequence actually taking place far above the ground, with the dynamism of the skydiving sequences in various James Bond movies and the like.
We know Superman would take a back seat to Wonder Woman.
And everyone would have less character then a cardboard box, and Superman would have 5 lines of dialog (a fact the people making the movie would then brag about). So, basically a Snyder movie but with no character or story (bad or not) to break up the overlong action scenes that become boring after about 10 minutes.
