There's nothing we love more than a vague comment. The briefest of smiles and most innocent of ponderings can be given special meaning by the merest of speculation.
And speculation, as you know, is what we journalists do best.
This latest over-interpreted statement comes courtesy of Man of Steel director Zack Snyder, who has intimated - albeit vaguely - that Henry Cavill's Clark Kent could be the Superman for Warner Bros' planned Justice League movie.
During an interview with the New York Post, 300 and Watchmen helmer Snyder spoke about the tremendous weight of responsibility he felt.
"I heard one time that the Superman glyph is the second or third most recognisable symbol on Earth after the Christian cross," Snyder said. "It's this crazy responsibility."
He went on to discuss the fact that the film is expected to launch a new franchise and presumably will tie in with Justice League, which is due for release in 2015.
"We approach the film as a single endeavour," Snyder explained. "There are a lot of gears that have to turn in the world of commerce and the world of the mythology we create to facilitate more adventures for this character. We'll see what happens."
"I don't know how Justice League is going to be handled. Honestly, I don't. But The Man of Steel exists, and Superman is in it. I don't know how you'd move forward without acknowledging that."

Asked if he and Warner had discussed integrating Man of Steel into a larger superhero universe, Snyder then added: "Um, how can I answer that? I can't really say anything to that, because that's a big spoiler. I will say, yeah, they trust me to keep them on course."
Far be it for us to fuel the flames of internet gossip and online rumour with mere supposition, so we'll leave you to interpret that as you wish.
It'd be great if it did happen, though, wouldn't it?
Man of Steel will be released on June 14, 2013.
