As he intensifies his search for a director on the Warner Bros. reboot, Christopher Nolan, who's godfathering the new Superman and producing the David Goyer script, has had discussions with (Darren) Aronofsky about the job, sources say.
Aronfosky's latest, "Black Swan," the hybrid dramatic thriller with Natalie Portman, looks on track to become an art-house hit, if not more, and the idea would be to bring Aronofsky's auteur sensibility to the comic book mythology (much as Nolan has done with Batman).

My preference is still Jones but I agree I think Scott can do great things with a good script, i.e., TRUE ROMANCE! I don't mind Aronofsky either. I'm in the minority of not being a fan of Aronofsky's films just because I don't enjoy them, though I haven't seen The Wrestler. But his talent as a director is stellar. I love and admire his work I just don't enjoy it, if that makes any sense. With a good script I also think he could do a wonderful job.
