Quite a few websites are running with the rumor that the brother of Dark Knight director Chris Nolan; Jonah Nolan may be directing the new Superman reboot; Man of Steel.

The rumor stems from the fact that David S Goyer and Jonah Nolan have signed for scripting duties while Chris Nolan is being brought in to mentor the project.

It is now thought that Chris Nolan will actually be mentoring his baby brother’s directorial debut.

Also another interesting rumor that is floating around the web suggests that Chris Nolan will direct the Justice League movie but I must stress, that’s just a rumor.

Expect Warner Bros to come out with an official statement soon.
