The article also has a ton of exciting updates on the film and some quotes from Snyder as well. Here are a few of our favorites but I urge you to head over there and check it out.
On the larger universe:
By bringing in more DC Comics do-gooders such as Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) and Cyborg (Ray Fisher), the new movie is thicker, denser and more epic thanMan of Steel, according to Snyder. And it’s also the next step toward building a strong movie universe that ultimately leads to Snyder’sJustice League, the supergroup answer to Marvel’sThe Avengers,tentatively scheduled for a 2018 release.
On the plot:
Man of Steelwas all about Superman finding his place in the world as both a hero and as a man, ultimately saving the city of Metropolis from certain doom.Dawn of Justicecontinues to immerse him on Earth by working at theDaily Planetas Clark Kent along with Lois Lane (Amy Adams) and Perry White (Laurence Fishburne). But it also takes him to new environments such as Gotham City and introduces larger threats, including Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg).
On adding Batman:
It ultimately made sense withDawn of Justiceto add Bruce Wayne and his cowled alter ego to the mix. Because of Christopher Nolan’s recentDark Knighttrilogy, “I was in no rush to put Batman in the movie,” Snyder says, “but on the other hand it seemed organic the way our story was unfolding to start to feather him in.”
Instead of using several movies to define Affleck’s Batman, Snyder felt the character’s 75-year mythology is so deep in culture now that they can just jump to an older, road-weary take on the Dark Knight. Plus, he says, “it’s cooler to see a crusty old Batman beating the snot out of guys.”
On the title:
The director can’t say exactly how the relationship between the two superheroes evolves, “but suffice it to say there is a ‘v’ in between their names” in the movie title, Snyder says. He explains that having the “v” instead of “vs.” is a way “to keep it from being a straight ‘versus’ movie, even in the most subtle way.”
It also says he hasn’t filmed Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman yet and only a few scenes with Cavill and Affleck. Read more atUSA Today.
