Zack Snyder bashes Marvels superhero movies.
Zach Snyder says Batman and Superman are not like “flavor of the week Ant-Man“.
Batman and Superman are not your typical superhero according to Zach Snyder. In fact, the director of Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice thinks they are bigger than the typical superhero movie genre.
Zack Snyder attacked Marvel Universe’s philosophy on movies in an interview with The Daily Beast. While addressing Steven Spielberg’s comments that “there will be a time when the superhero movie goes the way of the Western,” the filmmaker said Marvel superheroes are rare.
“I feel like he’s right. But I feel like Batman and Superman are transcendent of superhero movies in a way, because they’re Batman and Superman,” Snyder said while promoting Doritos’ final Super Bowl filmmaking contest. “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?”
He also discussed whether Batman v Superman will feature more Batman than Superman.
