Zack Snyder’s Favorite Superhero Is Superman

  By

In this clip, E-Asylum’s Cyndee San Luis asks, “Who’s your favorite superhero?”
Snyder answers, “I guess Superman is my favorite superhero, strangely.  You’re not supposed to say that.  It’s not cool to say, but he is.”
Cyndee echos, “It’s not cool to say.”
Snyder clarifies, “Ah just ’cause you’re doing it.  It’s weird.”

coverblackThis is second and final part of a series where we cover Superman’s potential weaknesses in Man of Steel. In this episode, we cover the explicit weaknesses we saw in the film, speculate on ones that could arise from the film or tradition, then discuss how Superman’s character and interest is the main means of creating conflict. Finally we discuss whether Batman actually has to harm Superman for there to be compelling conflict.

While covering our topics, we will discuss and answer the following questions:

  • How does neck trauma work?
  • What powers turn characters into flesh golems?
  • Can Superman taste beer?
  • What is a microbiome?
  • Would sensory overload work on Superman?
  • What is shaving times one hundred?
  • How does inexperience hurt?
  • Why Batman doesn’t need to KO Superman.

…and more!

BvS Will Honor Superman – Answering Superman Fan Fears

  By , , ,


Nov. 5 update: Remastered video, normalized audio, and added footage of Snyder saying Superman is his favorite superhero.

  • Some Superman fans are afraid that Superman is going to be disrespected by Batman at Snyder’s hand in the upcoming Batman v. Superman.
  • Some believe that the realistic tone of Man of Steel shows favoritism towards Batman.
  • Some fear that Snyder prefers Batman over Superman and that alleged bias means building up Batman at Superman’s expense.
  • Some fear Snyder is trying to adapt The Dark Knight Returns into BvS and shoehorn its Superman into the DC Cinematic Universe.
  • There are concerns that BvS will be a Batman-centric film and that Superman will be short-changed his development before Justice League.

While combing through hours of interviews for Man of Steel Answers Insight Commentary (MOSAIC), I’ve quickly put together some of Snyder’s comments which would tend to dispel or address those fears.

BvS is not a DKR adaptation. It’s a film that will develop Superman to the point that we can get to a Justice League. After carefully cultivating a realistic tone for us to relate to Superman, Snyder isn’t going to betray that for Batman. Snyder holds Superman in too high regard for that.

Please excuse this draft until I can get my hands on better video editing software.
