Please for the love of God keep Abrams away from Superman. He might have sensibilities on the surface, but that's where it ends. His Superman movie will be very surface level, with the feeling of how a Superman movie should be as an idea only. And while he may get that feeling right, it'll be no closer to be a quality, functional story. It'll probably have some meta narrative. And be well shot to cover up how dysfunctional the story is. Any competent screenwriter who works with him will be a submissive to his lack of storytelling prowess. Unfortunately he has had so much success no one will tell him otherwise.
And because it won't be the nightmare that was BVS or MOS, it will be hailed as a triumph and the best movie since STM. We wouldn't be redeeming Superman, we would just throw it further into the gutter.
He can only direct if he was totally divorced from the creative process, the script mailed to him and says, "Thank you" and shoots the script as is not changing anything about it. He can cast it, keep Mindel as DP, but otherwise keep him the hell away. I absolutely dread an Abrams Superman movie.
