Variety recently caught up with
comic book artist Jim Lee to discuss Batman, and his 75th anniversary, Comic Con,
and the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
…
What
advice to you have for Zack Snyder?
“Zack is a comicbook fan and draws inspiration from
the comics. He doesn’t need to be given advice. He’s a talented filmmaker. He’s
a super stylized visualist. He’ll do stuff no one has ever done with the caped
crusader and blow everyone away. He knows how to take the sensibility of
comicbooks and do what other filmmakers don’t know how to do”
How do
you see comicbook movies vs. the source material?
“I know a lot of filmmakers will look at the source
material and what we capture on paper and translate that entirely onto film,
but it shouldn’t be a literal translation of the comicbooks themselves. We work
in a medium that has no end. A film should have a beginning, middle and end and
resolution until the next one comes out. We’re telling a story every single
month. They’re different sensibilities.”
…
How
involved are you with “Batman v. Superman” or “Justice League” movies?
“I’m in charge of publishing. My level of involvement
is gasping and oohing when I see the footage and clapping when the DC logo
comes on at the beginning.”
Batman v Superman:
Dawn of Justice stars Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Jesse
Eisenberg, Jeremy Irons, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Diane Lane, Holly
Hunter, Callan Mulvey, Tao Okamoto, Ray Fisher, and a semi-confirmed Jason
Momoa.
