Yesterday we brought you some comments from Zack Snyder about his interpretation of Superman in Man of Steel and the involvement of the Justice League in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and now the director has been sharing his thoughts on Warner Bros.’ decision to keep its movie and TV universe separate from one another during a chat with Big Talk Radio (via CBM):
“This is the bottom line for me,” states Snyder. “I have 100% respect and love for what they’re doing on TV. I think it’s amazing. The joy and the fun of them speaks to the iconic, graphic nature of these characters. These characters are bigger than any of the actors playing them. Long after I’m done making a Batman v Superman movie, there will be someone else who makes it. It’s almost like an American tradition now we’ve established that these characters will be played again and again, and they exist outside of us in this moment.
“I think that’s sort of the thing I’ve embraced, and as opposed to trying to shoehorn all of these storylines into a single universe, we let the characters exist in multi-universe, and therefore it’s a lot more fun and a lot more value for the audience. They get to see their favourite and most beloved characters on different adventures at the same time in different universes and it really makes the meal a lot richer and a lot more fun. We get to go with these guys in all different directions and that’s really the joy of what we’re trying to do over here at DC.”
