It's the most detailed synopsis ever, I can assure you of that!

One of the final puzzle pieces in the casting of Zack Snyder's Man of Steel has finally been revealed.  And its an...unexpected choice, that's for sure.  Read on after the jump.

Warner Brothers is quickly turning Sunday from "The Day of Rest" into "The Day of Superman."  Mark Cavill was cast as Superman on a Sunday.  Amy Adams was cast as Lois Lane on a Sunday.  And now, Michael Shannon has been cast as antagonist General Zod on a Sunday.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Sometimes in life you really do have to take the sweet with the sour. Watching Sucker Punch was kind of like that, it was good, it was bad, and it was also big on the ugly.

A firestorm of controversy has erupted since the release of Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch. Objectification, exploitation, spellbinding, revolutionary, these are the words being bandied about and Zack Snyder’s visionary status is under heavy fire and intense scrutiny.

How do you soften the blow of negative reviews and a lackluster box office take for your current film?  Cast the lead actress for your next movie, that's how!

[Update] Warner Bros. has confirmed that Ritchie will not be directing Xerxes...but Snyder isn't likely to do it either.  Superman is keeping him too busy.  So in the next few months be prepared for some wild speculation on who will take over. [Update]

This comes as some odd/sad news for Zack Snyder fans.  Xerxes, the prequel to Frank Miller's 300 (which was directed by Snyder) is soon to be adapted and work on the prequel has been going on for quite some time.  Zack Snyder has made previous comments on it, and had planned to direct it based on his own script...just like before.  However, Warner Bros has now offered the Director's chair to Guy Ritchie instead.  What the hell?

You're mind is blown right now, isn't it?  I mean, if it's not for Lois Lane, the only woman in all of Metropolis, then who are they casting for?  The truth may surprise you...or it may not.  I don't know how well you take to news of this magnitude.  But read on any ways to find out!

After months of anticipation, speculation, and many shouts of "Ooh, Jon Hamm", Warner Bros. have finally announced who will play Superman in the Zack Snyder's 2012 reboot.  The choice, however, may surprise you.

It’s been quite a day for the new Superman film. The film gained a director out of nowhere and surprised all of the internet in it's aftermath.  Not to shabby at all, Supes.

Deadline had the exclusive on what is sure to be one of the most controversial directing decisions of 2010.  Zack Snyder is in fact directing the new Superman under the tutelage of Godfather Nolan.  Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan working together on the same project?  Well...that’ll be interesting.  Moving on, Zack Snyder claims that he will begin work on the film once he finishes post for Sucker Punch.  Nice to see that he’ll still have robots with pink rabbit faces on the brain when he starts work on Superman.  That’s all the background you need, after all.

Godfather Nolan (as Warner Bros. should now be calling him) has a pretty good idea on who he wants to have direct the new Superman film.  But who are the lucky five chosen to be on his shortlist?
