Director and producer J.J. Abrams could take over creative responsibilities for several characters in the DC universe, including Superman and Green Lantern.

A source at San Diego Comic-Con revealed that Abrams has signed with Warner Bros mainly to oversee these two characters. 

With Abrams now a part of DCEU, recasting Superman seems more plausible now given that Henry Cavill’s status has been in question a lot as of late.

The new Superman is also expected to be of the same age as the new Batman, who is being played as a spry 30-something by Robert Pattinson.

 Abrams is known for resuscitating old franchises and the director has restarted the Star Trek and Star Wars franchises.
