MAN OF STEEL: STARTING FROM GROUND ZERO?

According to a report in Variety, Warner Brothers is currently seeking new writers to pen Man of Steel, Bryan Singer's currently-in-development follow-up to 2006's Superman Returns. Apparently writers Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris have decided not to stay aboard the project so they can pursue individual directing possibilities. The Variety story states there are two possibilities in terms of an approach to the film: start from scratch, essentially ignoring much of what happened in its predecessor (much as Marvel's Incredible Hulk is doing next summer), or pick up threads from where Superman Returns left off, but increasing the action quotient to, as Singer put it at Comic-Con, go Wrath of Khan with it.
