Zack Snyder recently sat down with Fox All Access where he praised Smallville for keeping Superman alive in today's society.



Said Snyder:

I'll say one thing about Smallville, Thank for Smallville. Smallville by its self, quietly, has kept Superman in conciseness in a way that with out it my kids would be like 'who the hell is Superman? I don't even know who that guy is.' I think that in that way Smallville has done an amazing job of keeping that icon alive and breathing. He is on life support, but he is there. And I thank them for that.

The Man of Steel will start filming this Summer.

this is so f-ing wrong

the only person who kept Superman alive is tv channels who keep playing the Superman movie on TV.

Zack Snyder only saying this cause he realise he casted Amy Adams who was in Smallville.

ZACK... this is a bad point in your books!


SMALLVILLE is destroying SUPERMAN and all the DC characters now!

Only SMALLVILLE season 1 to 7 are any good... THE REAL SMALLVILLE thats actually in Smallville!


The MATRIX SUPERMAN and Jacket FLASH GORDON boy is a hellz no!


All we can hope for is a decent finale with the old crew that made it GOLD to begin with!

Wow, this is really unexpected. I kind of wondered what he thought of Smallville.

I couldn't agree with him more.

Can't believe his kids couldn't convince him to put the real Clark Kent in the Superman 2012 movie.

Smallville is great. its lasted ten frickin years, has a great cast, and they do a hell of alot more than most tv shows on a very small budget.

He does raise a good point, but the show is terribly written and poorly acted (outside a few characters.) There was always something missing with the show.

I'm excited about the movie, but he has made a few low-blow comments...to Thor and other stuff..and now Smallville. He's talking bold.

Even Nolan showed more respect, regardless if he agreed with someone's approach or not.

Hope he can deliver as strong as he talks.

Smallville is credited for keeping Superman alive? That show has spent ten years killing Superman and replacing him with a very "blurred" replacement.
