This is from an interview Zack Snyder made in 2008 about Watchmen. Full quotes from him:
>The average movie audience has seen — well, I can’t even count the amount of superhero movies. Fantastic Four, X-Men, Superman, Spider-Man. **The Marvel universe has gone nuts; we’re going to have a fricking Captain America movie if we’re not careful. Thor, too!** We’re on our second Hulk movie. And Iron Man — $300 million domestic box office on a second tier superhero! And not to demean Iron Man — my point is that we all know about superheroes now. I can ask my mother, ”Mom, when the Hulk isn’t the Hulk, who is he?” ”Bruce Banner. Why? What a weird question.” I could ask her, ”What happened to Bruce Wayne’s parents?” ”They were killed at an opera.” You’re getting to that saturation level where superhero movies, it’s hard for them to figure out what more to do.
In the same interview, he went on to show some of his "vision" about comics:
> I had a buddy who tried getting me into ”normal” comic books, but I was all like, **”No one is having sex or killing each other. This isn’t really doing it for me.”**
> Everyone says that about [Christopher Nolan’s] Batman Begins. ”Batman’s dark.” I’m like, okay, ”No, Batman’s cool.” He gets to go to a Tibetan monastery and be trained by ninjas. Okay? I want to do that. **But he doesn’t, like, get raped in prison. That could happen in my movie. If you want to talk about dark, that’s how that would go.**

Didn't aftonsky want to direct a Batman film where he was raised by prostitute's and worked at a chop shop?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Turns out all of his "I REALLY LOVE THE COMICS! I'M MAKING MY MOVIES LIKE THE COMICS!" excuses are a load of bullshit.
>>68970776
Who ever said that?
>>68970776
But he is
DKR is full of sex and people killing each other, so it's pleasing to his tastes
I don't know which ones he used for Man of Steel though
>>68970834
Snyder has, in many interviews he prattles on about how he's a huge fan of the comics.
>>68970877
I would bet money he has never read a Superman comic and has never read a Batman comic that wasn't written by Frank Miller.
>>68970962
Perhaps his version of Superman is from All-Star Batman & Robin
Wonder Woman too
>>68970419
>Batman doesn't get raped in prison
>That could happen in my movie
Kek, really looking forward to the next Snyderverse Batman
>>68970419
Snyder is doing to the superhero genre what Fritz Lang did to the science fiction genre with his seminal opus Metropolis.
It's telling that even when all the capeshit ever made (these including Nolan's) are combined into a single work they won't still match the depth and singular artistic vision of Snyder's chaotic and nefast cyberpunk landscape
>>68970419
Hes Fucking retarded SHIT
Why warners gave him the whole control damn it
>>68971049
It's not surprising that meme addicted endorsers of the mindless society of consumerism have difficult understanding basic language expressions.
>>68971309
It's a joke you autist, I actually like his movies
>>68970419
>”They were killed at an opera.”
TRIGGERED
THIS GUY IS A BONAFIDE HACK DESU
This hack is more autistic and edgy than /tv/ combined
>>68971597
Is this another one of your 'jokes'??
>>68971547
Oh look, the unintelligent child posted a low iq meme. Thanks, I can definitely see your stupidity under a better perspective lens now.
R/movies is the place where repugnant cretins like go to vomit their stupid opinions on movie for the world. Get the fuck out of my board, you cancerous rotten scum.
This is why people who aren't fans of comic books shouldn't make capeshit.
>>68971692
He asked his mom and that's what she said m8.
>DCucks defend this hack
>>68971025
If they made a completely straight, no tongue in cheek about it at all, adaptation of ASBR, they'd have my money
>>68972020
>>68972172
>they could make a thousand more shit-tier FF4 and still not come close to the damage such a movie would do.
>>68970756
>>68971049
>raped Batman
Why do you think Affleck's Batman looked so edgy ? He surely create his background characteristic with that in his mind.
what exactly is your problem with this?
Wow
And that person went on to make Watchmen, Man of Steel, and Batman v Superman - 3 of the greatest comic book movies of all time
You just never know people huh
>>68972770
Snyder please stop, it's getting embarrassing
>>68972808

No wonder edgy fedoras love him

ZACK THE HACK NEVER STOPS SPEAKING SMACK SYNDER!
>>68973312
Well, at least BvS has a better RT score than Blankman
>his parents were killed at the opera
>at the opera
>opera
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>68973312
>>68973481
Another sign that he doesn't read comics and just saw Batman Begins
>>68970962
He says he grew up reading Heavy Metal, so that's what he means by comics: ironically edgy comics for dorky teenagers and six-levels-of-irony adults that he takes 100% at face value.
>>68973481
From stills it looks like Affleck does the best emoting yet in the costume, though it could help that he's actually miserable in real life. He deserves a standalone movie.
>>68973403
Blankman is fun though.
>>68973825
I really do love how he looks. The cowl fits him perfectly, like it does in the books.
>>68973403
Blankman's failure to save the mayor >>>> Superman's failure to save Congress
>>68973403
Blankman is true capekino.
>>68970419
he may not be jewish, but he's the biggest kike i've ever seen.
