The slow motion shot of Leo falling into the bathtub, it just looked cool in slow mo – that simple, just like Snyder using slow mo to make a neat looking action shot. No difference. In fact, he shot that EXACTLY as Snyder probably would have.

Look, Nolan is a much better director, I agree, but it\’s funny to me that no one can see or recognize some of the similarities between the two, or if they shoot something the same way, Nolan is amazing and Snyder sucks. Lighten up movie hipsters, it\’s OK to like an action movie or a comic book movie that isn\’t an \”emotional gutpunch.\” You won\’t lose any internet cred, I promise 🙂

Look, he is not the guy to make \”Blue Valentine\” esque movies (the best movie ever according to the Playlist) – he\’s a director with a good eye for action and a nice (and commercial) visual style.

Edward, I think you and others are WAY overestimating Nolan\’s involvement. The last Superman movie sucked. Nolan is responsible for the best received comic book ever, so getting his name on it gives the movie instant credibility with both die hard fans and general fans, simple as that. He probably approved the story/concept but WB just wants to be able to use his name, I doubt at any point he was really developing anything related to the movie, or had any intention of doing so. They list him as a producer, but I doubt he ever even goes near the set.

So Chris Nolan comes to them with a great idea that David Goyer came up with, GREAT! LET\’s DO IT!

Can he direct? No, he has to finish Inception, and then do the last Batman film. Hmm, ok, can he kinda sorta produce it and help us with it? Yup.

But ok, we learned our lesson last time with Bryan Singer, his version was too emo, not action-y enough, it didn\’t make enough at the box-office. We need to bring in some muscle. Cue: Zack Snyder.

Does Snyder\’s vision jibe with the idea that Nolan/Goyer have on the page? To a point, sure, but there\’s also a point when he takes over and Nolan has to wash his hands clean of it and if you\’ve read enough interviews with him it sounds like he has already.

All film creation is like chinese whispers and without the creators there to execute it, what you get is an interpretation of a vision.

So I personally kinda think, Nolan took it as far as he could served it up and now WB ans Snyder will make of it what they will make of it. Snyder is a \”visionary filmmaker\” don\’t you know and his style and his take on things is very much his own. I think he\’ll — out of respect for Nolan — try and dial it down a bit — but i fully expect this to be a Zack Snyder film and not a Chris Nolan film.

So in short, WB have all the confidence in the world, or lt enough because they have a Nolan/Goyer script — good basic structure — and Zack Snyder — good at makign things explode in big fashion.

It will be interesting to see how the winds slightly shift at WB if/when Sucker Punch tanks as hard as it might, but it\’s not like he\’ll lose the job. And WB knows that Sucker Punch is a huge risk and audiences might not go for it and are smart enough to realize, just because that doesn\’t work doesn\’t mean a brand like Superman wont.

As if I needed more proof that Snyder blows.
