Yesterday, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice director Zack Snyder hosted a live commentary for the movie on Vero and, as you might expect, he shared plenty of big reveals about the DC Comics adaptation. We should have more on that for you a little later today, but the filmmaker's thoughts on The Dark Knight Returns were particularly interesting.
As you'll no doubt already be well aware, Batman v Superman was heavily inspired by Frank Miller's critically acclaimed story, with a number of visuals lifted from the comic book and put on screen. However, Snyder told fans that he believes a live-action adaptation of the story could still happen despite his movie taking so many cues from it.
According to Screen Rant, the Justice League director says he doesn't think his movie negates the possibility of The Dark Knight Returns coming to the big screen, and believes it could still be made.
That's a sentiment comic book fans are bound to agree with; after all, while Batman may have worn a similar armour, Miller's story is still quite different to what Snyder delivered with Dawn of Justice, and an R-Rated take on that would be incredible. After all, who wouldn't want to see those cool new versions of characters like The Joker and Green Arrow in live-action?
As of right now, we have no reason to believe The Dark Knight Returns is happening, of course, but it's definitely interesting to think about what a movie version might look like...
