Zack Snyder’s ‘Superman’ To Be Clean Reboot.
There’s been some ambiguity when it comes to reboots lately. Marc Webb’s Spider-Man is sort of one, maybe. The just announced David Slade-helmed Daredevil isn’t one. Or maybe it is. There’s one flick that is no longer in question, and that is Zack Snyder’s Superman. This son of a bitch is a clean reboot. Thank the Maker.
Slashfilm reports that Snyder Told The LA Times:
Literally, the one thing that everyone can start to think about is that we’re making a movie that finally goes with the approach that there’s been no other Superman movies. If you look at ‘Batman Begins,’ there’s that structure, there’s the canon that we know about and respect but on other hand there’s this approach that pre-supposes that there haven’t been any other movies. In every aspect of design and of story, the whole thing is very much from that perspective of respect the canon but don’t be a slave to the movies.
Nice. I understand why everyone enjoys the Richard Donner Superman flicks, even if I don’t partake in the same reverence. However, it’s time to put that mantle down, or at least give a new Superman movie room to breath. And then there’s Bryan Singer’s fucking Superman. Good lord, you couldn’t break free from that shit enough. Fuck that Superman, and most specifically fuck his Super Child.
Also, fuck Singer using Superman as Super Lifter. Yo Snyder, we going to see Superman whup some ass?
Our Superman, he’s got things to figure out but he’s a physical cat.
Thank goodness. I can’t help it, I’m quietly excited about this reboot. This clean fucking reboot.
