For various reasons with the first movie I don't think we got to the bottom of the character and I think that's why, in this one, we're calling it 'The' Wolverine. It should feel like a standalone movie.

Speaking in Italy, Bad Taste quoted David Goyer discussing Man of Steel:
What Christopher Nolan and I have done with Superman is trying to bring the same naturalistic approach that we used adopted for the Batman trilogy. We always had a naturalistic approach, we want out stories to be rooted in reality, like they could happen in the same world we live in. It's not that easy with Superman, and actually this doesn't necessarily mean we will make a dark movie. But working on this reboot we are thinking about what would happen if a story like this one actually happened. How would people react to this? What impact would have the presence of Superman in the real world? What I really like to do is writing "genre" stories without a cartoonish element. I did the same with Da Vinci's Demons, and I'll do the same with Man of Steel.
