Director Zack Snyder reveals Superman's visual style will not be like his previous films (300, Watchmen, Sucker Punch).
In Zack Snyder's re-envisioning of the man of steel franchise with actor Henry Cavill, the 300 and Watchmen director plans on creating a more realistic look. Zack commented on the Christopher Nolan-produced Superman movie while promoting his latest film, Sucker Punch which showcases his signature style with unique color schemes and slowed down fight sequences.
While the director did say it was too early in the process, he did make it clear to Warner Bros. studio that Superman will be his most realistic film to date.

Zack Snyder is known for putting his actors through grueling training before production. For the new Superman-- Henry Cavill -- it will be no different. "Henry's going to be hitting the iron pretty hard," joked Snyder. According to Deborah Snyder, Zack's wife and producer on all his films, Henry has already started training with 300's trainer Mark Twight and stunt coordinator Damon Caro.
"The moment we hired Henry, he met with Mark and he met with Damon Caro who does all the fight training. And they've put him on a plan," explained Deborah. And he's started in England and as of April 1st we have him full-time with us. All that training you really need it."
The new information from Zack and Deborah Snyder certainly increases the anticipation for the new Superman. It almost seems like torture having to wait until December of 2012 to see what Zack Snyder will bring to the table for the new Superman.
Zack Snyder's latest project Sucker Punch is in movie theaters March 25.What do you think? Post your comments below.
