Two Comic-Cons after first
announcing Batman v Superman, Zack Snyder returns to San Diego to partially
show the fruits of his labor alongside Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Jeremy
Irons, Jesse Eisenberg, Holly Hunter, and Amy Adams.
- Snyder started by
describing the project as a "dream come true", and praised the cast.
- Of the film's main story
and how close to the comics it is, Snyder responded, "If you wanna talk about the story itself or the particulars of
this movie, it’s definitely based on just ideas we had in a room based on what
we thought would be cool to see. If you wanna talk about Batman vs Superman,
it’s a thing that happens a lot in the comics."
- Snyder also admitted
that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice pays homage to The Dark Knight Returns
comic, "but the story itself is not in the movie."
- The director also
spoke about working with screenwriter Chris Terrio (Argo), and said that they
just talked about how to make Superman fighting Batman make sense, adding that
they done things in Man of Steel that help with the introduction of Superman,
but also of other superheroes.
- Snyder also
revealed that unlike in the comics, Metropolis and Gotham are next to each
other. "The big rule that we broke was we put Gotham and Metropolis right
next to each other… But it made sense to us and worked for our story that they
were kind of sister cities across a big bay. It’s like Oakland and San
Francisco."
- On the differences
between Michael Caine's version of Alfred and his, Jeremy Irons didn't give
anything away but teased that "He’s a little different, my Alfred, so I
think there are surprises in store."
- As for Gal Gadot
and Wonder Woman, the actress revealed that she feels like she has "been
given a huge opportunity to show the strong and beautiful side of a woman. She
has the strength of a superhero but at the same time is very loving."
- Jesse Eisenberg
reiterated what he said in a previous interview, "There’s always a bit of a campy element to the
character but I think there’s a real emotional roundedness to this version of
it."
- "If I thought
too hard about the actors who played this part before I couldn’t take the job,"
said Affleck, who also admitted that though he was reluctant to take on the
role, it was Snyder's pitch that made him decide to tackle the character.
- Affleck went on to
share a funny moment that happened after saying yes to play Batman. The actor
revealed that he was out shopping for a Batman costume for his son when he ran
into Christian Bale, who told him to "make sure you can piss in that suit"
when Affleck asked him if he had any tips.
- Finally, Snyder
revealed that though similar to the one in The Dark Knight Returns comic, his
Batman's mech suit is more for protection and less for attack.
