If you've been following my twitter updates (@TeenageVFX) or my previous posts, you'd know by now how much I love Batman. And with that comes uncontrollable hatred for Superman - Hey, don't judge me okay? It's kinda normal that a batman fan find Superman unappealing.
On the other hand, I'm a Zack Snyder kinda guy too. I absolutely enjoyed his adaptation of Alan Moore's Watchmen. It was dark, grim, and had that rich comic book feel to it that a movie of that hype should. Seeing as how Snyder's behind the latest reboot of Superman, it has changed my views on the superhero. Don't worry, I still think he's as absurd as ever. What strikes me about him though is what Zack Snyder recently said in an interview with LA Times. He explained, “It’s a more serious version of Superman. It’s not like a heart attack. We took the mythology seriously. We take him as a character seriously. I believe the movie would appeal to anyone. I think that you’re going to see a Superman you’ve never seen before.”
“What was it about him that cracked the code that made pop culture embrace this other mythology? What we’ve made as a film not only examines that but is also an amazing adventure story. It’s been an honour to work on. As a comic book fan, Superman is like the Rosetta Stone of all superheroes. I wanted to be sure the movie treated it respectfully.”
With one of my all time favourites, Christopher Nolan behind the project as well, here's hoping this turns out well enough for us Batman fans to sit through.
Let me know what you guys think about this update in the comments below. Can't wait to hear all about it!
