Influenced by The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller.

I'm not really excited either because of the taste MOS left in my mouth. Snyder is far from a stand-out director.

I'd be inclined to agree with that if Miller's take hasn't become more or less orthodox. These days, the prevailing wisdom is that if Batman and Superman meet without Superman getting his ass kicked, it's because Batman was in a good mood. If they must roll with each other, do it like Marvel used to where there's no clear winner after the heroes slug it out.

The only source I've seen for that is Batman On Film by Jett/Bill Ramey. And forgive me if I don't think them credible. That page was mostly an unofficial part of Syncopy's marketing when they were doing Batman films. Jett was Nolan's publicity whore. Still, BOF has gotten tons on "scoops" flat out inexcusably wrong for a page so allegedly tied in to Hollywood sources as he claims. If you see anything on BOF, including that the sky is blue, find another source before you believe it.

I wonder if Edward Norton would be a good Lex Luthor. It'd be a cool "Fuck you" to Marvel and he looks good with a bald head. Why not, this movie already has too many actors and he'd fit in as the head of LexCorp. Why not hire someone like Norton to complicate matters? If all goes well he'll demand script approval and the movie will unravel.

I've heard along those lines that he's not lex but Alex Luthor

The suit is hardly the revelation Kevin Smith built it up to be.



Still curious to see what a Snyder Batman looks like in action.

And are the neck and head once again linked by the suit? If so, means more awkward, overly dramatic and vulnerabilizing body turns to simply look around. The TDK and TDKR suits didn't have that issue.
