Nightcrawler writer-director Dan Gilroy opens up about the Tim Burton Superman film that wasn't to be. Speaking with IndieWire, Gilroy reveals that Burton's take on the Man of Steel planned to feature both Braniac and Doomsday, and would have been "a Superman for the ages." The Bourne Legacy screenwriter says he came on board after Kevin Smith and Wesley Strick had penned drafts, and was taken in by Burton's approach to the film.
