"Yes, I am in fact writing it," Snyder told MTV News at Comic Con. "Kurt and I are writing it right now using Frank Miller's graphic novel that he's creating as our spine, as our jumping off point, as our Bible. Frank came up with a cool story, and it parallels "300" in a really cool way."

"Instead of it being a sequel or a prequel it kind of — Artemesia, which is the battle that it sort of chronicles, takes place on the exact same three days as Thermopylae."

"I gotta talk to Butler," he said, revealing his desire to bring back the 300 star for this movie. "That would be awesome!"

Does that restraining order Snyder took out against you mean nothing OZY!? :P Seriously though, there is no way he'd be well suited to a character like Superman. Especially not with a genius like Christopher Nolan writing the script. Xerxes, however, could be very good.
