Friendly reminder Snyder also pioneered the destruction of Krypton.

I don't know about others. but, Snyder movies do look visually appealing for me. He does rip comic book panels and paste them on big screen in a way that's awesome to me.

Did you know Superman never landed on the ground until Snyder invented it? /

Rest are pretty big stretches too imo. Death of Superman copies that one scene of Supes punching Zod for Superman punching Doomsday but that’s it.

I thought Justice League: War also had those punching sequences, but I always wondered if it's because Jay Oliva was involved in both the animated movie's direction as well as MoS storyboarding.

Don't forget about these copy cat scenes and revised designs sourced from Snyder's movies. I guess you could say, Snyderman did "inspire" people. Hardee har.

Promising. I think these movies are usually around 1 hour and 20 minutes right? And Red Son shouldn’t be hard to adapt since it’s only three issues.

Good to know. These movies started out at the 70-min range, but have slowly crept up in length. I, for one, couldn't be happier. When you think about it, a Justice League three-parter was 66 minutes excluding commercials, so these movies really felt like long TV episodes. That's not inherently a bad thing, but when it's barely longer than a long episode the length (or lack of) does become palpable. At least with the TV show you had thirteen weeks of content, whereas switching to DTV means you get less content and pay more.

I'm just hoping the movie is really good and with plenty of depth and great action. And that Batman isn't the best hero...

You know Bruce Timm is producing this one, right? You might need to look elsewhere.

I kid, I kid.

Not a concern - I mean it's a Superman movie.

Yeah, I don't think similarities in visuals are necessarily coincidental.

Probably also worth noting that Cavill had mixed feelings of his own about the Snyder movies. Not to the point of dissing them or being ungrateful but recognizing there were other takes he could be doing.

And my recollection is that Cavill’s favorite Superman comic was Red Son, which Snyder directed him to for reference, and he said on a few occasions that he wanted to do THAT as a movie. So my suspicion is that Snyder was staging bits from Red Son adapted for BvS and the animation folks either knew this and coyly referenced it or wound up making parallel choices in staging the same sequences for the screen.

I think Cavill's favorite comic is For Tomorrow.

Which I kind of never liked, tbh. But if we get another Superman movie and it has to be For Tomorrow I'll live.

I mean, I don't think we'll get another one after that, but... shrug!

Yep it’s For Tomorrow, but he does like Red Son as well. He also likes H’el lmao, gotta give it to Cavill, he’s got his own tastes and I respect that, it’s refreshing to have someone who doesn’t just list works from your generic top 10 Superman lists, but has his own unusual tastes. He grew a mustache because of Mr. Orr, he based his character in MI on Orr which I find hilarious.

Hey, slap the Red Son "S" on him and give him a Russian accent and I could get behind the movies. *wink*

I mean, the animated has better color, but still.
