Since Snyder was announced as the man who would helm the latest Superman movie the net has been abuzz with speculation as to what story it would follow. Rumors of Zod as the villain seem to have been debunked, but the news that the movie will focus on the early life of The Man Of Steel have been confirmed. While talking to Filmactu Snyder reiterated this, and also stated that the script won't follow any specific comic arc..
"As I have already explained, the film will focus on the early days of Superman, so there will be no links with the other films. This is not a remake then. Similarly, although I still cannot talk about the script, I can assure you that this new Superman will not be based on any comic book in particular."
If the French translation is accurate I guess we are in for yet another origin story. But hopefully Snyder will pull something unexpected out of the bag. Its also not really surprising that the film won't be following any particular comic storylines, its always the way unless its a direct adaptation like
Watchmen. Lets just hope it doesn't deviate TOO far away either. Maybe leave the kid out of this one!
