Nolan will undoubtedly hire the best director available. The recurring dilemma is casting the lead rôle. I like Jon Hamm as Clark Kent, but could he really convincingly embody the action scenes? I just feel if it's to be more than a one-off, a younger, lesser known actor is needed. And fgs - one who is as believable a Man of Steel as Christian Bale is Batman.
