They both have great visions and i adore Snyder, he directed some of my favorite movies
but as i said, their visions is different
look at Watchman and Nolan's Batman

Both great film, great visions but totally different approach
Snyder loves special effects while Nolan tries to stay away from them as long as possible and whenever he needs to
plus, Nolan has that dark mood in his movies
while Snyder also has that dark mood, it's different, his is with colors and some filtering

both great directors, just different visions

i hope this movie turns out super awesome

"Both great film, great visions but totally different approach

Absolutely right....and that's why I feel they are going to work well together. They both have these great visions, but let's face it, Superman is a story that is going to demand special effects work.

He's an alien with super powers. Batman can exist in the 'real' world and thus the special effects can be limited. Since Superman can fly and lift buildings and such, VFX are necessary. This is where Snyder can shine.

I wouldn't say Nolan tries to stay away from special effects, it's just he's not one of those guys that tries to put them in everything. Like Dark said, Batman doesn't really need the effects cause he can exist in the real world. Hence Nolan not going overboard with it there. But, look at Inception. Amazing effects in there. So, see when the movie calls for it, Nolan can definitely do it and incorporate it properly.

I absolutely think this is a good pairing. I said it back when it was announced that Snyder was the best choice of who they had lined up. This is when people seemed to be mad about the choice. But the way I see it is: Chris Nolan and David Goyer did the story, Jonathan Nolan and Goyer doing the screenplay. That covers Snyder's weak point (let's face it, he can be a bit weak in the script department).

So the Nolan gang takes care of the script and will set the mood. And I think they'll leave it to Snyder to create the vision and execute the story. It should be brilliant I think. Basically you're getting the whole Nolan camp, plus the whole Snyder camp and just combining them (cause Deborah and Emma and Jonathan and all of them are coming in on this project too). That sounds like an awesome collaboration.

On that note, it's appearing that I was right before and Tyler Bates will be returning to work with Snyder. Seems the film's imdb page has been updated. The only thing left in the Music Department is Tyler Bates' name. Meaning Zimmer and a few others were removed. So, if they left Bates' name on there, there has to be a reason.

Now, for who I want to play Superman. I still want Routh. I'm sure whoever they pick will be good, but right now I want Routh.
