Producer Emma Thomas Says Chris Nolan Will Be Too Busy With Batman To Worry About Superman!

Yup.
Thought so.
Still cryptic. Still weird.

Come on come on, make a dang movie!!!

hope man of steel is good!

Doesn't bother me at all. Nolan has overseen the main plot outline and has helped pick out a director who can do it justice, now the baton has been passed. I'm sure Nolan will have a look at rough cuts to make sure things are in line but I doubt it'll be needed.

Hope Snyder doesnt make it too dark. Little bit more serious is great, but not too dark.

Not good. It's a very big risk to let Snyder go solo, especially on a Superman movie. Huge explosions and slo-mo does not automatically mean a good CBM.

@Superkalkixass - I'm guessing you think Transformers 2 was a masterpiece as well. Thus, your future arguments and/or posts will be null and void to me, and hence, ignored.

Okay, so what's the big deal? It's not like Snyder is unproven in the cbm genre, he's on par with Nolan in terms of succesful cbm's. Would it be more formidable if the two were working more closely with superman, sure, but I'm sure Snyder will do more than fine with it, and it's not like he can't pitch ideas back and forth with Nolan, they just won't be working on the same set. I just hope he doesn't try to make Superman all dark, and gothic, that's not the Superman look.

@rolanddeschain-He's not really on par with Nolan in terms of success. Batman Begins and Dark Knight were both much more well-received than either of Snyder's comic book movies. Batman Begins also made much more than it's budget, and Dark Knight made a billion dollars. 300 was successful but Watchmen... Not so much. I loved Watchmen. But it wasn't as successful as the Batman movies.

Less Nolan can only mean a better movie.

It amazes me that people on here seem to be so closed minded or just flat out stupid to think or just pigeonhole a good director such as Nolan. Okay...weve seen Begins & Dark Knight....so is that to imply that he cant direct any other way. His approach worked for Batman and that world, it would asinine and idiotic for him to attempt to take the same approach for Superman. Nolan is at least a high school graduate, so Im sure he has already figured this out. Not too mention, Im sure he is well aware of the disdain for Superman Returns and the complaints of that being boring. Again...reasonably educated man probably wont repeat past mistakes.

While some praise the fact that he may not be totally involved in the film, do understand that him and Goyer have provided the story and template, now its Snyder's job to bring it to fruition...which I believe he will. Its a great collaboration...U will have depth and scope in the script from Nolan/Goyer, and action and imagery from Snyder. I dont get the beefs with Nolan...this is the man that gave us Batman back after Shumachers Batman & Robin disaster! Anyone that had a problem with Nolan, I would like to hear ur argument, if any as to why his Batman movies were bad? Im curious.

Snyder really impresses me as a visual director. I'm not sure if he is as good at telling a story though. WB really needed Superman to go into a new direction and I think Snyder will do that. At the very least Snyder will show the cinema world how powerful Superman really is by having him fight a villian that is on par with him.

What does "retraded" and "uNCHarasimatic" mean and who or what is a heath ledher?

I really do try to lower my intellect as much as I can to follow the conversations here, but sometimes you guys just lose me.

Also, who is Daniel Snyder and what does he have to do with any of this?

@ Shaman

Very good point. 300 and Watchmen were based on comicbooks where as Sucker Punch comes from Snyder's imagination. For me, Sucker Punch is going to be Snyder's first real movie. I think it will be a good test to see how good he is at putting together a story without adapting it from somewhere else.

@ SuperKalkixass

Thanks, ;)

Im liking the way this is going!

Win win!

Thank god!!! Supes is better suited for someone like Snyder. I dont want this to be like the batman films. Snyder does best in his comfort zone rather than having nolan there to 'babysit' him. This is a SNYDER film people, NOT nolan. Let Snyder do his thing and he will give us MAGIC on the big screen! GO SNYDER!!

rolanddeschain- I highly agree!

Intruder- In the book, Manhattan left to explore new worlds which unless were filled with tachyons, he would already know what they are without having to see them. And in my book, that's INCREDIBLY flawed because it goes against the concept of omniscience. You are either omniscient or you are not. There are no half-ways. Moore wrote Manhattan as not being fully omniscient, meaning that he needed to go places in his future and physically experience events for him to know about them in the past. But that makes him a whole contradiction in itself and it would evidently mean that he could never know anything in advance. Think about "free will" for a minute. He deliberately leaves to explore a place he already knows about. Why leave in the first place then, if you already know what awaits you? But if through his free will he chooses not to go, then it would be imposible for him to know what awaits him in the first place. The whole character's concept is one huge flaw! My theory would also indicate that there are PLENTY of futures depending on the choices we make which means that if he knows in advance what the result of every choice he can make could be, he wouldn't need to go anywhere to explore the entire universe. So the book's ending is one huge epic fail. The film's ending, leaving humanity to deal with it's own godless self, is much MUCH more brilliant. Snyder single handedly fixed the book in my eyes.

@ Superkal, I know there are people that didn't enjoy it I'm just saying you shouldn't think them wrong, everyone likes different things. Now you get a life and let people have their own opinions and stop dicking on people that differ from yours.

xmentheeight- Then what are you complaining about? He'll be filming Nolan's & Goyer's story. And last time i checked, Snyder wasn't a writer because he hasn't done any yet so at least he hasn't failed. Suckerpunch will be his first shot at filming his own story. So wait till it comes out before labeling Snyder "not" a writer. But you are right about "Slow mo, explosions, CGI colors do not a movie make", which is why he had to improve watchmen from it's source ;)

Superkalkixass- I agree with you that Snyder is the man for the job and that Nolan is a tad over rated as a Batman film maker. But as a director, the man does have talent and Frogman has a point. No one is attacking you for prefering Snyder over Nolan, just take it easy. We all have our own opinions on here.
