STOP EVERYTHING! Just stop and read! It’s been mighty quiet on the Superman front with most news in recent weeks being dominated by this summers’ super hero offerings and the expected fervor surrounding the Dark Knight Rises production, but that all changes today as I think we were just hit by a bomb shell.

Whether paying homage to Marlon Brando’s cameo in “Superman” or just wanting splashy marquee name, Christopher Nolan had all along been seeking an A-list thesp for Jor-El, Superman’s biological father, since agreeing to godfather the franchise reboot “Man of Steel” for Warner Bros.
He’s got his man, and it’s Russell Crowe.
there have been discussions that Chris Nolan had been looking for a huge A-list name to take on the coveted role, and who better than the best actor alive today? Awesome casting news and has appropriately sent all “radar’s” in site into a frenzy. Production begins next month so hopefully we’ll find out about Superman’s Biological mom pretty soon too.
