During a recent Reddit Q&A session, 'Man of Steel' writer, David S. Goyer answered questions pertaining to the upcoming reboot of the Superman film franchise as well as Hollywood's changing approach to comic book movies.

"[John] Byrne's Krypton was definitely an influence, but not the only influence," stated Goyer in regard to which comics influenced his work on 'Man of Steel'. "[I] was also influenced by Alan Moore's stuff. [Grant Morrison's] All-Star Superman. Geoff Johns's stuff. Even the old Curt Swan stuff."

"It used to be that Hollywood had a very preconceived notion about what a comic book film should be - basically, the Dick Tracy film, with lots of primary colors," added Goyer. "I'd like to think that Blade and Batman Begins helped change that. In a way, I think comic book films are just catching up to where comic books have been for the last 20 or 30 years."
