Goddamn Warner Bros. getting me up off the comforts of my couch far past when I want to be vomiting to you. They went and dropped the banner for the upcoming Zack Snyder Vomitfest Superman Reboot, Man of Steel. Yeah, it’s okay or something. I’m going back to my cold Diet Dew and the sporting events.

Warner Bros. is looking to get into The Dark Tower  game. That book series by that Stephen King guy, which has been pronounced as a multi-movie, multi-TV season extravaganza. It’s going to be such an amazing disaster, and dammit I want to see this monstrosity birthed to life.

Henry Cavill has been cast as Superman in Zack Snyder’s TOTALLY X-TREMO FRAT BOY MAN OF STEEL glory. Cavill is known for his work in Stardust, the Tudors, and uh, probably other stuff. Even a presumuptious asshole like me isn’t going to pretend to have any opinion on this.

Actually.

Sure! Why not? I have no clue. Warner Bros. issued a glorious fawning press statement announcing the news, which you can check out after the jump.

Well, we saw this shit coming, didn’t we? I always imagined that Nolan would only be up for three Batman flicks. He’d complete the storyline he wanted to tell, throw the deuces up to everyone, and ride off into the sunset.   This idea of mine was only strengthened by a recent report that Nolan told Bale he’d be like totally done playing Bruce Wayne after the next flick. And then, news came out today where Nolan up and confirmed it.

EW via Slashfilm:

I feel very glad that I’m doing another Batman film. I think it would have been daunting to sit down and write an original script after Inception. I love working within the realm and rules of our Batman world. It’s kind of nice to have someplace to go that I’m super-excited about.

I must say that I’m glad – I’m very, very glad – to be embarking on the last chapter of our Batman saga without any sense of obligation or duty to the studio. They did very well with Inception. So I’m able to go into finishing our story in a very enthusiastic way.

I’m happy as hell with this news. It gives Nolan and the cast to go out in a blaze of glory in their final installment. Wrap everything up, leave their stamp on the universe, and then laugh as they watch other people try and top them. Sure, the franchise ain’t going to die. Way too much money. And maybe Nolan would even have made a better fourth movie than whoever comes next. But as Rendarbones Frankenpepsi says, perhaps there’s something to going out on top. Riding off into the sunset.
