Zack Snyder, the architect of DC’s movie universe, talks about the ‘Crash the Super Bowl’ contest and how Batman and Superman transcend the superhero genre—unlike Ant-Man.
Between his upcoming Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and his plum gig shepherding the foreseeable future of the DC cinematic universe, Man of Steel director Zack Snyder has superheroes on the brain—even on a rare day off spent promoting Doritos’ final, high-stakes Super Bowl filmmaking contest.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
How arrogant
"The credit goes to [Batman Begins director] Chris Nolan because he set the die for the DC Universe in a great way that I tried to emulate"
But that stuff works for Batman as it's something you can actually get away with the grounded, realistic tone. Other characters such as Wonder Woman, Green Lantern or maybe even a future unannounced addition like Martian Manhunter can't be done like that.....well....it could but you'd end up changing far too much of the source material to the point where you are like "Why couldn't we have gotten a proper <insert character here>. He should of ignored Nolans tone and what he did, I mean the reason why Nolan didn't add in other DC references like Superman, WW or Green Lantern is because he knew his tone wouldn't for those characters in his grounded universe.
" But I feel like Batman and Superman are transcendent of superhero movies in a way, because they’re Batman and Superman. They’re not just, like, the flavor of the week Ant-Man"
At least Marvel tried something new with Ant Man, he's an outdated character and took a risk doing it. Unlike them who are only onto their second film and have decided to focus on Batman (their safety net) while poor old Supermans own sequel has been put on hold for "more Batman"...rumours he's just confirmed in the article.
Batman as a focus in Batman vs Superman
Batman trilogy fully in development/planning
Batman cameos planned, Suicide Squad for example.
While Superman waits for his sequel
It's like if Marvel decided to squeeze Iron Man into the first Captain America, Thor or even Guardians of the Galaxy
Zacks right.
Batman and Superman transcend "heroes" of the minute.
They are mythological. The only thing about his statement off-putting is that he said it. But this is a matter of fact.
And if his and the DC universe movies angle is to showcase these characters for the icons they are and not a rumpus room of joy and silliness.
Then we should by all means, be in for a treat.
and it should be very interesting to see in 30 years from now which set of movies last the test of time.
They totally do. Can't wait for Batffleck to rock it this coming March.
he keeps on talking like his some big shot. yeah he made man of steel was that booted off DCU. but then they decide to cancel ( until we dont know when) MoS 2. they was going to make MoS 2 without batman. Now they are making BvS ( and now Making the first half or so of the movie about batman) yes BvS is going to sell more then ant man (its going to make alot of money)
Oh yeah? Then WTF is it doing coming out in 2016 Zack...Avengers 2 wasn't that great but slayed the box office anyway because there was no competition! Now they want to go head-to-head against Marvel, which we all know is BS because Marvel has over 10 movies on them already.
Your loss bub.
