The cool thing about Watchmen is it has this really complicated question that it asks, which is: who polices the police or who governs the government? Who does God pray to? Those are pretty deep questions but also pretty fun questions. Kind of exciting. It tries to subvert the superhero genre by giving you these big questions, moral questions. Why do you think you're on a fun ride? Suddenly you're like how am I supposed to feel about that?

Zack SnyderIโm so excited to begin working again with Henry Cavill in the world we created, and I canโt wait to expand the DC Universe in this next chapter. Letโs face it, itโs beyond mythological to have Superman and our new Batman facing off, since they are the greatest Super Heroes in the world.

Thatโs the reality. So all you can do is to give it not only your best, but your vision on what this character is, when you become one with that character.
