Over at La Times Hero Complex comic writer Grant Morrison tells Geoff Boucher what he is hoping for from WB's latest effort at brining Superman to the big screen..
“I can’t wait to see what they do. There are so many ways to tell Superman stories that might resonate with a modern audience, and I’m looking forward to see how Zack Snyder approaches it. Things I’d personally like to see are a non-camp Luthor, some other villains like Metallo or Brainiac and a more vigorous, go-getting Superman. The noble attempts to portray him as a Christ-like, American redeemer figure in ‘Superman Returns’ had the unfortunate effect of making him a limp and wimpy punch bag. Superman is a highly principled hero, but he’s no pacifist; he’s a brawler who doesn’t give in until he’s dead or the bad guy’s down, and I’d like to see a bit more of that grit. “
Well, without having to ask I know that Morisson's hopes for this movie echo the vast majority's here on CBM. Snyder has already said that he feels Superman "needs to be physical" so lets hope Mr Morrison(and the rest of us!) get what we are hoping for.
