HOLLYWOOD – Following Jim Carrey’s disavowal of Kick Ass 2, director and producer Christopher Nolan revealed that he had nothing whatsoever to do with Zach Snyder‘s Superman film, Man of Steel.

Man of Steel is making lots of money.
Bwah! I was going to be all “I hate this,” because I did like the movie – but, I can appreciate some fun.
