Is Jonathan Nolan Getting the Director's Chair for the Next Superman Movie?

Treat this as a very tenuous-yet-cool rumor, but film blog The Playlist (via Collider) is reporting that an unnamed source claims Warner Bros. is closely considering Christopher Nolan's younger brother, Jonathan, as both writer and director for the upcoming Superman: Man of Steel movie. The other contender is apparently David Goyer, co-writer of the script and previous Nolan brothers collaborator (on The Dark Knight), who seems like the more natural choice since he's directed before yet may be tied up with other projects and won't be able to carve out time from his schedule. 
 
This will almost certainly be hashed out in more detail at Comic-Con before the weekend is out, so keep watching here for our man Matt Rorie's word on it. If you're wondering whether or not the elder Nolan bro might take this on, it seems like he's content being the "godfather" and taking a producer credit. Jonathan certainly has chops as a writer and, in fact, it was the adaptation of his short story Memento Mori that helped establish his brother as a major director. Can that same brilliance with the pen transfer over to the director's chair? We'll see what the panels in SoCal have to say on the matter.
