COMICS: Scott Snyder And Jim Lee To Launch MAN OF STEEL Series In 2013?

Man of Steel won't be based on Zack Snyder's movie of the same name, but might just be a new addition to DC's "Superman" stable of comic books with the impressive creative team of Scott Snyder (Batman) and Jim Lee (Justice League).

Scott Snyder (Swamp Thing) has made no secret about wanting to pen a series starring Superman in the past, and a recent rumour which has surfaced via Bleeding Cool seemingly reveals that the critically acclaimed writer will finally be getting a chance to show fans his take on the iconic superhero. However, it won't be in the either the pages of Superman - which is set to be taken over by Red Hood and the Outlaws scribe Scott Lobdell - or Action Comics as Andy Diggle is reportedly being lined up to take over from Grant Morrison. Instead, DC are apparently planning to launch a new Man of Steel series which will coincide with Zack Snyder's big screen adaptation. This will more than likely form a part of the fourth or fifth wave of new titles in "The New 52". As exciting as it is to think of Snyder writing a series starring Superman, it will also come as good news to fans to learn that Jim Lee (All-Star Batman) is being lined up as artist.

That sounds pretty damn good to me.
angus666 - 8/28/2012, 5:38 PM
That'd be neat.
superotherside - 8/28/2012, 5:42 PM
That would be awesome. But we don't need 3 Superman titles, so stop some of them.
pud333 - 8/28/2012, 5:42 PM
Nice. So far there's no Superman title that's a must read. Maybe this will change things.
CaptainObvious - 8/28/2012, 5:53 PM
I finally have a reason to start reading Superman.
Jimdlux - 8/28/2012, 5:54 PM
Here's hoping they get the costume and back-story right

Cool... Cool cool cool...
MutantEquality - 8/28/2012, 6:09 PM
Pretty cool. I haven't been excited about a Superman comic for a long time. Loved Court of Owls because I felt something. Hopefully Scott can help Superman be meaningful again too.
Mechagino - 8/28/2012, 6:12 PM
Well looks like I'm checking this out then, never read anything of Synder's I think but hey here's something to read.
knighted - 8/28/2012, 6:21 PM
I might finally start picking up a new 52 title staring Superman. I like Snyder's work.
cyclopstb - 8/28/2012, 6:31 PM
Please hire Brandon Routh for the role. He deserves a second chance.
TheOneSuperMan - 8/28/2012, 6:35 PM

Well, love Snyder's Batman, so, with Lee on art, I'll be picking this up...
MJPETTY7 - 8/28/2012, 6:50 PM
I'd totally get this!!! I love Snyder's Batman book (Court/Night of the Owls) and LOVE Jim Lee's art!!!! Especially on Batman: Hush and Justice League. Also, Superman: For Tomorrow's art was good...
thewolfx - 8/28/2012, 6:55 PM
NO NO NO

Wingding - 8/28/2012, 6:55 PM
MAKE THIS HAPPEN RIGHT NOW
GoILL - 8/28/2012, 7:05 PM
Snyder and Lee on a book together...sign me up.
deanwilkins - 8/28/2012, 7:28 PM
Terrible news. The reason Superman has been garbage for so long is because there are too many titles. Keep it limited and fresh. These guys should just take over the existing titles.
longbowhunter - 8/28/2012, 7:35 PM
More Scott Snyder is always a good thing.
RSDhillon - 8/28/2012, 7:44 PM
Sweet!
Also, I think we need MORE Superman titles! Batman has a bunch!

But if I'm wrong, it could also be better to take over (or replace) an already-existing one.
ThatOneDude - 8/28/2012, 7:48 PM
WIN!!
Lazyfan - 8/28/2012, 8:01 PM
DAMN THIS GONNA BE CRAZY. Rob Leifield is somewhere crying to himself right now. Snyder will prove batman isn't what is selling it's Snyder that is selling :D
DioFoRio - 8/28/2012, 8:10 PM
