Batman vs Superman? How about Marvel vs DC?
[dropcap size=small]D[/dropcap]uring an interview with Zack Snyder, director and ‘architect’ of the DC movie universe, Snyder stated that the DC universe isn’t just a ‘flavor of the week’ kind of movie.
“It’s a tricky process, setting up the DC universe, or Justice League,” Snyder said. “The credit goes to [Batman Begins director] Chris Nolan because he set the die for the DC Universe in a great way that I tried to emulate. I look at it as more being mythological than, say, bubblegum. And I think that that’s appropriate for Batman and Superman because they’re the most mythological of our superheroes.”
Snyder continued by saying that the stories that build the DC Universe are more epic in nature, than say, the Marvel Universe stories.
“… But I feel like Batman and Superman are transcendent of superhero movies in a way, because they’re Batman and Superman. They’re not just, like, the flavor of the week Ant-Man–not to be mean, but whatever it is . What is the next Blank-Man?”
