I'm not seeing the big deal either. In fact, and I've said this plenty, out of the short-list of directors that were rumored, Snyder was my hands-down choice. I have no idea why some people seem so skeptical about this though. Snyder's only real short-coming is his writing, and he's not doing that, so we're good.

I don't even know why the use of slow motion would be a problem even. I could see it actually providing for some very nice style to the film that contrasts well with Superman's super speed. Kinda chop it up, alternating with super speed then slow it down to slow motion for the real impact shots. Like I could totally see a Snyder Superman fight scene with Superman going all super-fast-Neo(Matrix) combo on some bad guy with it slowing down to slow motion for a second to focus in on a few good impact jabs. Speed up again as Superman knocks the enemy back and speeds over to the "landing zone" only to catch him before he even lands, hit another lil flurry on him, then slow-mo again for the knock out blow uppercut.

I'm wondering really if people just are uncomfortable with the change? Are they skeptical after Superman Returns? I don't know. I mean we definitely know that this is not going to be the Superman we're used to. So maybe that change has them skeptical? I'm not sure. I for one am very much looking forward to seeing how this plays out.

I wouldn't get TOO ahead of yourself. Nolan won't have "ultimate creative control". He's serving as executive producer on this project. Basically meaning he's just overseeing it. He's going to have his hands too full to be dealing with the responsibility of "ultimate creative control". Though he will be watching over it, and you can rest assured his opinion will hold influence.

Another thing to debunk, Jonathan isn't working on this project at all that I know of. I know at once it was talked about he was helping to pen the screenplay, and there were once rumors he may even direct it. But obviously he's not the director. And since Goyer has been outed as the one to write the screenplay, I've seen no mention of Jonathan Nolan. While Christopher and Goyer wrote the story (I wouldn't be surprised if Jonathan did throw in some ideas at this stage), Goyer is the one left to carry the torch and write the actual screenplay alone from everything I've heard.

That being said, yes, this should be absolutely awesome and I'm excited to see what comes out of the collaboration.
