I bet you can fit all of the people in the world who could recognize Man of Steel co-screenwriter Mike Dougherty if they saw them on the street in to one tightly packed room.  Yet, in a moment of true geek-kismet, a cop over at bluetights.net's Planet Forums was doing his coply duties (you know oppressing minorities and being a huge douchebag) and actually recognized Mike Dougherty walking out of the building.  Since police seem to have nothing better to do he approached the writer and actually got some news out of him:

 

I asked him if he was a part of the sequel because everything I have seen says [Bryan] Singer and [Dan] Harris are writing the script and that he isn't mentioned. He confirmed that he is writing it with the two just like the last picture. I then expressed to him that I was hoping the delays of Superman: The Man of Steel weren't true. He said that they were on track and that the goal is still to have the movie out in the Summer of 2009. He seemed a little hesitant about it but did his best to try and reassure that it will get done by then. I asked if he could give any more info on the film. He responded, "There are TWO villains," and he smiled.

 

This isn't that big of information.  The internet has been astir about two villains for a long while, Lex Luthor and possibly Braniac was the rumor, but this is the closest thing we've had to a confirmation yet.  Sure, Dougherty could just be talking out of his ass and I don't ever really trust cops, but it sounds genuine.  And hell, it's kind of a nice story.
