Empire Magazine’s September issue will feature Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. Some high resolution photos have been released ahead of the issue, along with comments from director Zack Snyder.
Below, Snyder discusses his vision for Batman that ultimately sold Ben Affleck on accepting the role. Snyder also talks about how an idea for a Justice League film evolved into the current plan Warner Bros has for their DC Cinematic Universe.
Snyder’s comments (via. Empire)
“We want to assume that Batman has reached this point in his life and career as a superhero, and Superman represents a sort of philosophical change. He is a paradigm shift for Batman: ‘I’ve been fighting criminals all my life, trying to find justice, and now I am confronted with a concept that is transcendent to me.’ In the face of Superman, a man robbing a bank doesn’t matter.”
“What we are doing is ground up all the way. It is one giant story. The first thing we had was the Justice League concept. The other movies, in a way, have to support that. That is our Wonder Woman, our Aquaman. They have their own creative concepts that supports them, but they do serve Justice League in the coming together of those heroes. I want all the other directors of the other films to be able to stretch their legs and do what they want, but at the same time there is a big interconnected universe. I have given everyone amazing access to our story, to me, and what we are doing. All the films have like minded conceptual jumping on points.”
Check out all the awesome photos for Batman V Superman below. Don’t mind my captions, I’m just having fun here. The film releases on March 25, 2016
Batman’s skills go beyond crime fighting and into directing.
