The First Superhero

I was watching G4 TV with my son. They were at the San Diego Comic Con and
talking mostly about upcoming comic-to-movie adaptations. They were talking to
one of the producers of the Batman movies who said he had a surprise
announcement. He declared that they were going to make a movie about the "First
Superhero" and said it was Doc Savage!

Well, blow me down!

Is this the one that Sam Raimi's production company has been working
on?

This from Wikipedia...

According to long-time Batman producer Michael E. Uslan, a new Doc Savage film
is set to be produced, hopefully for 2009/2010 release. Uslan delivered the news
at Comic-Con '08.

Uslan does not exactly have a strong track record for movies that I've wanted to
see.

Good Grief.

So here's the deal:

Michael Uslan has produced some pretty impressive movies. But, what
I'm concerned with is who will direct the movie?

Producer Movie Director

Uslan The Dark Knight Christopher Nolan

Uslan The Spirit Frank Miller

Uslan National Treasure Jon Turteltaub
