Justice League to be directed by, YOU GUESSED IT: Zack Synder - Polidicks

He's the director, right? So how much say does he have with the story? To me, it's the script writers and the caster that's more at fault because they pick crappy actors to play crappy stories.

I liked Man of Steel. See no problem with Snyder being involved in JL movie.

[QUOTE=Diet Kane;44668519]stop, my invincible son.[/QUOTE] he was trying to not expose clark's powers and was willing to sacrifice himself in order to keep it that way. blame goyer for the shitty writing. [editline]28th April 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=mr hobo;44669322]This is going to sound weird, but my biggest problem with Man of Steel is that they focused too much on Superman and not Clark Kent. I think it would have been cool seeing Clark going from town to town, getting small jobs here and there. I would have also have liked some personality from Clark. Instead he was a stern, bland character. For instance, Iron Man had a lot of Tony Stark in it. We got to know the character under the suit, and Tony was funny, interesting, and was realistic in the way he acted. I also have a few fundamental problems with the character Superman, that probably got in my way of enjoying the film.[/QUOTE] that's superman in general. most dc characters spend 90% of the time in their own superhero persona and very rarely ever shows up in their civilian identity, unless it's the origin story or the very beginning of a new story arc. and marvel shows both tony stark and iron man in equal amounts because marvel heroes usually have no secret identities like dc characters do, the world knows who they are.

[QUOTE=Swebonny;44665627]You guys have awfully high standards.[/QUOTE] isn't that a good thing?

So long as Snyder gets a good screenwriter for this, I wont be too concerned. If Hayter hadn't done the adaptation for Watchmen, it would have been another shitty Alan Moore adaptation and completely forgettable.

[QUOTE=Take_Opal;44668299]That's funny if you think Scarlet Johansson kicking things for two hours and three hours of One-Liner-Machines quipping about each other and talking about a tesseract are "high standards"[/QUOTE] Still better than Dark Knight Grumbles, and man of murder. Man of Steel could of been better if Snyder didnt try to make a sears commercial.

I'm a DC fan who loves the animated series and the comics (though I haven't read many yet!), and I've got no problem with this. Snyder is a competent director with a lot of style, and Watchmen wasn't just the best DC film ever made, it was the best comic book film ever made. In my opinion, at least. Man of Steel wasn't deep or moving, and I understand where the criticism surrounding it was, because I shared a lot of it, but on the whole I found it a very entertaining movie that did not fail to deliver on showing just how super Superman really is, while also laying the groundworks for a huge shared DC film universe, with big references to things like LexCorp, Wayne Enterprises, and Star Labs. In this new DC film universe, we have a city destroyed and an entire world that has just had it's eyes violently opened to hostile alien life and super powered individuals, mirroring the whole "Gods among us" theme that is so prevalent in the DC world. At the very least, it sets a stage for what could be a very cool conflict, with some decent writers and a good directorial eye. I'm cautiously hopeful!
