Zack Snyder Talks About Making A "Relevant" SUPERMAN Movie

Hmm Very interesting, wondering how Clark Kent is gonna disguise himself now

I didn't hear 'no glasses', sounds like it won't be 'just glasses', like maybe the All Star Superman Clark Kent approach? Either way, if the world still exists or I do, I'm seeing this.

zak SNyder makes visually striking eye candy movies that irritate us because, in the end, they are not good.

Yes, the glasses aren't the best way to hide an identity, but they are part of the lore of Clark Kent's persona, so I still see them as important.

@Marvel87 Well that, and the reason there is in no way, shape or form that anyone can relate to him. And I know that's the point, he's what we strive to be, perfect, but that's not good literature, you need a character that has realistic problems. I mean, the only reason Smallville was successful was they turned him into [frick]ing Peter Parker!

good to know, always found the glasses factor ridiculous

I'm very unsure about this movie.

Zack might be a little hit and miss as a director. But what Zack does excel at is some pretty brutal fight scenes which Superman needs desperately. His stylized look his def his signature as well and let's face it, superman could use a little style.

Superman is indeed very compelling if done right.

He's a fish out of water. He has no family, and everyone depends on him to always be perfect. He's looked at as a weapon, not as anyone with feelings.

Yes Batman is more intriguing, but give Superman more credit. His loneliness is stuff to work with

Superman never did it for me. But I'm still going to see this movie, and I have high hopes. 300 was a masterpiece and I liked Watchmen also. Sucker Punch, though, was without a doubt one of the worst movies in recent memory. Though Snyder wrote that, so I'm crossing my fingers since he didn't write Man of Steel that he'll focus a bit more and produce a quality film.

the only thing that has to be realistic in the movie is the characters and how they react.

@thewonderer You are spot on with your comment. Though I don't think Bats is more intriguing just different.

Some other Supes conflicts would include guilt (even surviors's guilt). Touched upon slightly in Donner's motion picture with choosing which missile to go after first. Everyone expects Supes to save the day but he can't (just ask Pa Kent).

Another direction could be absolute power corrupts absolutely, unless you have Supes' moral compass to hold it in check. The struggle to remain "a boyscout" when you could choose so many other tatics. Doing the right thing isn't often the easiest thing.

Lastly, they could examine being the apex hero. Meaning being Supes means you are the biggest target (Shane - every gunslinger wants to test their mettle against you).

@intruder
yeah i hope though by the end that everyone does love superman, because thats what makes him different. Superman's cover is the 'nerd' and he recieves love as 'superman'. Batman's cover is the 'rich guy' and he recieves love as 'bruce wayne'. The reason spidey is so popular is because he is a hybrid of both. He recieves love from the general public, but is hunted by the police, his cover is 'the nerd' but hes got a hot girlfriend and he can be himself as spiderman also. The reason i never think hulk does well at the theater and people who aren't fans dont really take an interest, is because his 'hero' side has no personality, and when he saves the day, it doesnt matter. he gets no credit for doing anything good, and so i think avengers will make him more popular now that he is in a reputable group.
Sorry I got off track, but what I mean to say is that I think superman needs to be loved by the public because it's inspiring to see the public cheer for him. The way they know nothing about him; that hes a complete stranger, but they put their faith in him at the drop of a hat, makes him stand out as more than a superhero, but a saviour. If you take that away, you get batman and hulk, and thats not who he is. Yes he is a lonely character, but what keeps him going is the love for and from the people of Earth.

@razor
hahaha exactly

"when he becomes Superman, things are propably going to be so wild and out of control, that extremely few if no people will have the chance to sit and take a closer look at Superman's face."

So you are saying that in this film there won't be any media or press coverage on Supes? No photos? No TV coverage? Lois, Jimmie, Perry White and the Daily Planet are all going to be very disappointed. :-P
