Zack Snyder Is Still Geeked For "Superman Starts"

I have to say, I'm not sure that Zack Snyder should be talking about Superman as much as he has, not because I don't like what he's saying, but because I think he is contradicting himself a bit. That is what his wife Deborah is there for, to settle down the fanboyish quotes and present them in a more professional fashion. Courtesy of Hollywood Reporter, here are some more quotes from Zack regarding the realism to be found in "Superman Starts".

"I've stretched this world of abstract reality so far that the awesome thing about Superman is that Superman lives in the real world," he says. "And it probably will be the most 'real' movie I've made. It will more real than even Dawn of the Dead."

Deborah Snyder realizes it's an odd thing to use the term "real" in the context of Superman, but she echoes that it's been the watchword for their new movie.

"It's weird that it's Superman, a guy from outer space, that's flying," she tells us. "But I think it's going to be a definite departure from the things he's done because the idea is to make him relevant in our world today. So the way you do that is you put him in our world exactly how it is and not in a stylized world."

So viewers shouldn't watch Sucker Punch and try to predict the look and feel of Superman?

"Superman will be a documentary compared to this," said Snyder.

I like what the Snyder Duo is saying because I love my heroes grounded in reality, but is it really all that different from what we saw in "Superman Returns"? Wasn't the article being worked on by Lois at the end of "Superman Returns" titled, "Why The World Needs Superman"? In other words, why he is relevant to the people of Metropolis.

I'm not knocking the version that is being worked on now, I'm incredibly excited about it, just pointing out a possible similarity between "Superman Returns" and "Superman Starts"
