June 15, 2013: David Goyer Talks Justice League, "Man of Steel" Sequel

Man of Steel David Goyer has been spilling the beans on a number of rumors associated with Superman films for the past few days over at Bleeding Cool.

In one article, he asserts that "Man of Steel" will lead into a Justice League movie, "causing" it, in effect:

    David Goyer: It is our intention that, in success, this would be the zero issue and from this point onward, possible films could expand into a shared universe. In our world, the Man of Steel world, Zack has gone on record saying that we're implying there are other superheroes in this world. But I don't know that they've come forward yet. The idea is that Superman is the first one. There might be people helping people, but not in costumes, and that Superman comes forward and announces himself to the world. In him announcing himself, he's the one that changes things.

    Bleeding Cool: You're positing a cause and effect?

    David Goyer: Yes, yes absolutely, in our mind.

In the other, he speaks of some of the concepts behind the sequel:

    The challenge for us moving forward is how to depict Superman in a world like this, in a world where Twitter exists, in a world with social media. To me, the interesting challenge is "Could he solve hunger in the horn of Africa? What would he do with the Arab Spring? What would he do in Syria?"

    Partly you could argue "How could he not intervene in something like the situation in Syria?" but the other argument is "Is it a hornet's nest if her intervenes? Does he have the wherewithal or the knowledge to intervene in something like this?"

    To me, that's the interesting challenge. It's easier for Batman because he just exists in this little pocket of the world, he's not violating sovereign airspace every day.
