Hey maybe he can direct it and J.J. Abrams can produce it.

A Matt Reeves Batman type reboot.

An R rated Superman movie where he fights Lobo and has sex with Maxima.

Not that but discontinuing DCEU and going with a more grounded approach having the heroes make their suits themselves.

Hey, good call.

Get him for a reboot.

Might as well. They're using horror directors for all the other DC movies.

That would be amazing. If you strip away all the horror aspects, Flannagan's style is perfect for Superman. All the complex emotions I felt watching Hill House (especially when Nell was on screen) is something you need in a Superman film.

I think Oliver Jackson-Cohen could even play Clark Kent if given the chance. Not sure if it'll happen with the announcement about Abrams' movie.
