SUPERMÁN: "Man Of Steel"-"Batman V Superman" de SNYDER

[Shelby]

- Snyder, Cavill y Affleck hablan sobre "Batman V Superman":

Continuando con las muy numerosas entrevistas que estamos recibiendo de los protagonistas de la muy esperada "Batman V Superman", tenemos nuevas declaraciones del director Zack Snyder y los actores Henry Cavill y Ben Affleck en las que nos dan nuevas pistas sobre lo que veremos el próximo 23 de Marzo.

Henry Cavill ha afirmado haber visto ya dos veces la película a la que describe como "Épica, emocionante y visualmente espectacular", además de revelar por qué preferiría tener de su lado a Supermán antes que a Batman en una pelea y cuál es su debilidad:

"Él tiene todos los poderes, y Supermán no puede evitar amar a todos y quiere hacer lo correcto [y]… Sabes que tienes al tipo correcto dándote consejos".

“La debilidad de [Superman] es que no quiere herir a nadie. No quiere asustar a nadie, y le puedes sacar ventaja de eso. Es alguien que es un completo amateur, y se está enfrentando a alguien que está muy versado en las artes de la guerra.”



Zack Snyder, por su parte, habla sobre los nuevos retos del "Hombre de Acero", cómo Batman percibe a Supermán, la muerte de Zod, la Liga de la Justicia, Wonder Woman y Lex Luthor:

"Él ha estado corrigiendo errores. Han habido inundaciones, se han colapsado minas, se han caído puentes, iglesias se han incendiado. Ha sido básicamente un héroe." Pero eso no ha sido fácil en un mundo moderno, "Está empezando a ver que cada acción tiene una reacción. Como si estás bajando un gato de un árbol, y no puedes tocar nada o los arboristas dirán, 'Él dañó una rama del árbol cuando bajó al gato.' O, 'El gato no fue capado, así es que ahora hay cientos de gatos.' Ya no hay más triunfos para Supermán."

"Es interesante el ver cómo Batman percibe a Supermán, porque no sabe quién es Supermán. Todo lo que conoce es la cara pública de Supermán. Y si tienes una idea sobre alguien o si empiezas a dudar de las intenciones de alguien, siempre puedes leer en los medios, siempre puedes ver la cara que quieres ver, basada en cómo es reportada. Batman ve la destrucción de Metrópolis. Eso es lo que sabe como un hecho. Así es que si miles mueren, ¿está eso bien? ¿Qué es lo próximo? ¿Millones? ¿Está todo el mundo de acuerdo con eso? Porque yo no. Ese es el punto de vista de Batman."

"Para mí, el matar a Zod no es algo tan importante como la destrucción de Metrópolis. Es importante que estas películas tengan consecuencias, que hayan daños colaterales. En Batman v Superman quería mostrar cómo Bruce Wayne se siente cuando es reducido a un canguro suplementario. Batman está aterrado con su impotencia de cara a eso."

"Hemos sido estrictos con nuestras normas. Lo que pueden hacer - Batman, Superman, Flash, Cyborg - somos realmente duros con nosotros mimos porque queremos que todas esas cosas tengan una realidad, una base mitológica."

"El poder de las mujeres es algo tras lo que he ido en todas mis películas. Todas tienen una fuerte representación femenina.Ya es hora de que Wonder Woman fuera representada correctamente."

"Jesse hace un trabajo realmente genial con Lex en hacerlo contemporáneo y multi-dimensional. Es inteligente, es difícil de colocar, es todas esas cosas que quieres de un villano, en el sentido de que cuando piensas que lo has entendido, revela algo más de sí mismo".


Ben Affleck también ha ofrecido más detalles sobre su personaje y sus compañeros Jeremy Irons, Jesse Eisenberg y Gal Gadot en la película:

“Bruce Wayne está proyectando su propio sentido del fracaso, su propio sentido de la desilusión, su propio cinismo en Supermán”, comenta el actor.

"La película es una continuación de ‘El Hombre de Acero’, así que soy yo el recién llegado al mundo de Zack Snyder y Henry Cavill. De hecho, realmente no compartimos demasiadas escenas. Coincidíamos el uno con el otro con nuestros trajes y hacíamos nuestro trabajo, pero realmente no pasamos mucho tiempo juntos. Eso sí, las escenas en las que coincidimos, son algo electrizante".

"He sido fan de Jeremy Irons desde el instituto. Sé que podía apoyarme en él para desencadenar verdaderas emociones".

[De Eisenberg] "Su Lex Luthor es reminiscente del [fallecido solista de Nirvana] Kurt Cobain mezclado con [el co-fundador de Google] Larry Page. ¡Es genial! Me hace reir y celebra la singularidad de nuestros multimillonarios. Aunque no lo dice con palabras, su actitud denota que piensa que, más que unos genios con mucho dinero, son auténticos enfermos mentales".

"Gal Gadot interpreta al personaje de Wonder Woman en la película. Es muy difícil el no caer en lo ridículo haciendo un personaje así. El límite es extremadamente delgado pero lo hace realmente bien. Me atrevo a decir que las escenas de acción más impresionantes de la película son de ella."




Además también se ha confirmado el verdadero plan de Luthor:

“La ira y ansiedad de estos dos personajes es manipulada por Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg), un sociópata multimillonario con complejo de Dios que es feliz haciendo que los poderosos se arrodillen, Luthor no sólo orquesta un asesinato en masa para volver a los dos superhéroes el uno contra el otro sino que también usa algunas reliquias kriptonianas dejadas atrás tras los sucesos de Man of Steel para fabricar un Frankenstein mutante cósmico— Doomsday, parcialmente construido de los restos del General Zod de Michael Shannon.”

- El diseñador Michael Wilkilson habla sobre los trajes de "Batman V Supermán" y la "Justice League":

El diseñador de vestuario Michael Wilkinson ha ha concedido una entrevista a CBR sobre el diseño de los trajes de "Batman v Superman" y cómo va la creación de los nuevos trajes de la "Justice League".

Sobre el 'nuevo traje' de Supermán:

No dice nada nuevo, sólo que se utilizaron algunos materiales nuevos y que hay una frase en kryptoniano grabada en él. "Queríamos seguir apretando para asegurarnos de que era tan fantástico como podía ser."


Sobre el traje de Batman, la armadura y la inspiración de Frank Miller:

Wilkinson dice que fue una experiencia muy divertida porque creció viendo las películas de Batman y siempre se preguntaba cómo lo iban a llevar al siguiente nivel, así que contribuir a un nuevo batsuit fue algo asombroso para él, pero admite que con Zack Snyder se siente en una zona de confort en la que tiene libertad para hacer cosas creativas.

"Sí, en efecto lo fue. Zack es un gran fan de Frank Miller (posiblemente ya lo sabes porque dirigió 300), así que miramos aquel cómic. Nos fijamos mucho en cómo han dibujado a Batman en los últimos 75 años y pensamos en lo que queríamos decir sobre Batman, cómo Batman es más corpulento y un poco más mayor. Es un tipo que realmente no tiene que depender de su armadura, está en buena forma física y entrenado. Cuando tiene que pelear contra Superman, por supuesto tiene que elevar el juego, y es cuando se pone ese enorme traje de hierro. Pero sí, hubo mucho que pensar y mucho metido en esas decisiones."


Sobre el traje de Wonder Woman:

Afirma que poder crear el nuevo look de Wonder Woman fue para él un momento muy grande. Era importante para ellos que Wonder Woman fuese tomada en serio y que tuviera ese sentido de fuerza cuando se plantaba en medio de esos dos hombres, como que era su igual en poder. Por eso volvieron a sus raíces guerreras y griegas para darle un aspecto mitológico. "Es muy práctico. Parece muy usado en la batalla. Está machacado y cubierto de arañazos de todos los enemigos que ha combatido durante los siglos que lleva entre nosotros. Queríamos que se sintiera legítimo y no decorativo, sino auténtico. Combinando poder, gracia y majestuosidad, ese fue nuestro criterio."


Sobre el vestuario de Lois Lane:

"Es uno de mis personajes favoritos de la película. Es lista, es una mujer del siglo 21. Sabe lo que quiere. Amy es tan inteligente. Ella es todas esas cosas. Así que es maravilloso poder llevar todo ese poder y energía a la pantalla."


Sobre su trabajo en la "Justice League":

"Estoy en medio de ello. Tenemos pruebas de cámara que salen muy pronto, con los nuevos personajes que hemos establecido. Es enormemente excitante, sobrecogedor y emocionante. Pensamos mucho en estos nuevos personajes, en cómo el poder se reparte entre toda la Justice League, qué rol juega cada uno, cómo todos son muy diferentes entre todos. Todos tienen una relación diferente con el poder, que se expresa a través de su traje. Estamos dedicando mucho trabajo a ello."

- Resumen de nuevas informaciones de la revista "Entertainment Weekly":

Sobre Jenna Malone y su misterioso papel:

Mucho se ha especulado con respecto a si la actriz interpretaría a la versión femenina de 'Robin' o si sería 'Oráculo'. Pues bien, tendremos que seguir esperando ya que sus escenas han sido cortadas de la versión queveremos estrenada en la gran pantalla. Aunque la buena noticia es que sí que aparecerán en la versión extendida del director para DVD7Blue-Ray y que saldrá a la venta este verano.


Sobre Supermán:

"Durante los últimos dos años ha sido básicamente Supermán como la cultura pop lo conocería," explica el director Zack Snyder sobre el tiempo entre Man of Steel y Dawn of Justice. "Él ha estado corrigiendo errores. Han habido inundaciones, se han colapsado minas, se han caído puentes, iglesias se han incendiado. Ha sido básicamente un héroe". ""Cuando lo encontramos, está lidiando con el día a día en el mundo de ser un superhéroe, pero hay un cambio de paradigma que está ocurriendo en cuanto a que las consecuencias no intencionadas de algunos de esos rescates están empezando a fructificar. Está empezando a ver que cada acción tiene una reacción. Como si estás bajando un gato de un árbol, y no puedes tocar nada o los arboristas dirán, 'Él dañó una rama del árbol cuando bajó al gato.' O, 'El gato no fue capado, así es que ahora hay cientos de gatos.' Ya no hay más triunfos para Supermán."

“Su debilidad es que no quiere herir a nadie. No quiere asustar a nadie, y en ese sentido puedes sacarle ventaja,” dice Cavill. “Es alguien que es un completo amateur, y se está enfrentando a alguien que está muy bien versado en las artes de la guerra.”



- Sobre "Batman":

Bruce no se siente muy seguro de los nuevos 'metahumanos' de la futura Liga que aparecen cameos. Para él, podrían convertirse tanto en poderosos aliados como en enemigos. Odia a Supermán por culparle de la muerte y destrucción de Matrópolis durante su batalla con Zod.

Por lo tanto, su postura general es percibir a cualquiera que es más fuerte que él como un enemigo. “La idea de que haya más, es algo esperanzador y también lo aterroriza,” dice Affleck. “Porque entonces podrían hacer a las humanos incluso más impotentes - o podrían servir a nuestro lado.”

Este es un Batman que lleva luchando desde hace casi dos décadas y está cansado y ha perdido un poco la esperanza. Empieza a preguntarse si su existencia hace las cosas mejores o las empeora y el mantener el traje del Robin caído es un recordatorio de eso. “Está proyectando su propio sentido del fracaso, su propio sentido de la desilusión, su propio cinismo sobre Superman,” dice Affleck.

La aparición de Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Flash y Cyborg lo forzarán a lidiar con sus preocupaciones sobre los seres con poderes y su "reflejo natural a temer lo peor."



- En cuanto a la pelea entre "Batman" y "Superman":

“Superman no necesita ser tan jugador de ajedrez como Batman,” dice Snyder. Superman tiene el poder de su lado, pero antes de que los puños empiecen a volar, vemos a un Batman con armadura poniendo varias trampas en un corral abandonado, y luego caminando y poineindo una lanza de Kriptonita en el suelo. “Él marca el ritmo,” dice Snyder. “Luego cuando lanza a Supermán, la lanza está justo ahí. Así es que dices, espera un minuto, ¿planeó cada detalle? ¿Sabía cada movimiento?”

Luthor no solo empuja a Superman y Batman a luchar sino que utiliza unas reliquias kryptonianas para crear a Doomsday a partir de los restos del General Zod.



Sobre "Wonder Woman":

El único miembro de la futura 'Liga de la Justicia' mque aparece de forma importante en la película y principalmente como Diana Prince.

“Lo más difícil, y probablemente lo que más gratificante, fue Wonder Woman. Tienes que establecerla pero no revelarla; no liquidarlo todo. Está lo suficiente en la película como para que notes su presencia. Y tiene un gran impacto en la película. Pero hay misterios gigantescos a su alrededor al final de la película”, comenta Snyder.

Como glamurosa agente encubierta trabajando en solitario, se involucrará con el Bruce Wayne de Ben Affleck ya que ambos están en misiones rivales intentando robar y revelar información incriminatoria sobre el malvado Lex Luthor.

“No puedo entender el hecho de que vaya a cumplir 75 años y que sea la primera vez que ha llegado a la gran pantalla. Pienso que todas esas cosas—verdad y amor y el querer la paz y todas las cosas que ella representa—es algo a lo que todos aspiramos y que querríamos. Para que las mujeres crean que pueden hacer esto, tienen que verlo”, afirma Deborah Snyder.

“En la mayoría de las películas, los hombres están al cargo, los hombres son los más poderosos. Habéis tenido a Supermán y a Batman y a todo el mundo, pero Wonder Woman nunca estuvo aquí… Estoy muy feliz porque cuando mi hija crezca va a ver una fiogura femenina por la que puede ser inspirada”, añade Gadot.

“La adoro en la película. Adoro cuando es golpeada por Doomsday y se gira y sonríe, como si no hubiera estado en una pelea como ésta desde hace mucho, mucho tiempo. Claramente... lo echaba de menos”, dice Geoff Johns.



Sobre la llegada de otros superhéroes:

Se confirma la aparición de 'Aquaman' (Jason Momoa), 'The Flash' (Ezra Miller) y 'Cyborg' (Ray Fisher).

En cuanto a la aparición de 'The Flash' el director Zack Snyder menciona que tanto Batman como Supermán tendrán muchas "visiones" en forma de pesadillas a las que compara con las que se producen en "Un cuento de Navidad", que pueden ser vistazos del futuro o advertencias potenciales. El 'Flash' de Ezra Miller aparece en una de las visiones de Bruce Wayne dándole un "críptico mensaje" a Batman. El contexto del mensaje no ha sido revelado aunque Snyder lo describe como "un gigante Easter egg" que espera que los fans discutan tras ver la película. ¿Pero es realmente una pesadilla o el velocista ha atravesado el tiempo para advertir al caballero oscuro?

"Teníamos una narrativa tan directa, por un lado, que queríamos que esta otra capa de la película fuera complicada y bizarra."

Otra de las visiones apunta a la llegada de Darkseid.

Green Lantern, sin embargo, tendrá que esperar. “[Green Lantern] es un personaje increíble. En realidad es varios personajes increíble,” dice Greg Silverman, el presidente de desarrollo creativo y producción mundial de la Warner Bros.. “Hay una oportunidad real aquí. No hicimos un gran trabajo en la primera película de Green Lantern. Este es un personaje que merece ser tratado de la misma manera que Batman y Superman y Wonder Woman están siendo tratadoa ahora, que es con gran reverencia. Supongo que puedo decirle a los fans de Green Lantern: si pueden ser pacientes con nosotros, pienso que estarán realmente felices.”

Así es que ¿cuándo pueden los fans esperar a ver a Green Lantern en el DCEU? Bueno, ni la WB está segura de cuándo, pero probablemente no será hasta la "Justice League: Part Two" como pronto, según dice el productor Charles Roven.

“Cada golpe de la película aún no ha sido calculado. Así es que está la posibilidad de que pueda o no pueda ser en la Justice League 2. Por ahora, sentíamos que estábamos introduciendo suficientes personajes que el mejor lugar en el que podíamos poner a Green Lantern es en alguna introducción en la Justice League 2, o excluyendo eso, en una película después.”



- En cuanto al multiverso:

Snyder fue al estudio con la idea no sólo de introducir a Batman, sino a toda la Liga. En cada película, se encuentran piezas que están conectadas con la siguiente, como cuando en "Man of Steel" se vieron caer piezas de un satélite de Waye Enterprises sobre un rascacielos que tenía el logo de LexCorp. “Ahora tienes un mundo en el que Metrópolis y Gotham están cerca geográficamente, y todos esros pequeños detalles comienzan a hacerse reales,” dice Silverman. “Hay un satélite que cae del cielo en Man of Steel, y te das cuenta de que cada una de estas películas va a ser una gran paret de la película que sigue.”

“Tienes que hacer bien cada película individual, y ese ha sido nuestro objetivo. Empujamos la fecha de lanzamiento de Batman v Superman hasta Marzo. Se suponía que debía de haber salido el año pasado,” dice Silverman. “El regalo del tiempo que nos dieron nos permitió llevarla a su potencial completo, y para que todos los demás pensaran en hacerlo, eso es lo que hay que hacer. Cada película tiene que ser tratada como si fuera la única — mientras que te enamoras con cómo todas van a conectarse.”

“He hecho muchas películas, pero nunca tuve que ser parte de intentar hacer juntos dónde todas estas películas están relacionadas,” dice el productor Charles Roven. “Los cineastas tenemos que decidir como parte de su decisión el unirnos al equipo, ¿y están ellos contentos con lo que viene antes? Para cuando se unen, están involucrados en cada decisión importante.”

La película del "Suicide Squad" tiene lugar tras los eventos de "Batman V Superman" y la época 'presente' de la película de "Wonder Woman" también. A su vez, en "Batman V Superman" se incluirán adelantos de lo que la próxima película de la superheroína revelará sobre el pasado de Diana.

Geoff Johns afirma que no sólo quieren asegurarse de que todos los héroes encajen entre sí, sino de que puedan sustentarse de forma individual. “Es tanto construir mundos como construir personajes. Batman no es sólo un personaje. Es un personaje dentro de Gotham City, con toda la iconografía que hay detrás de él y el apuntalamiento emocional de Bruce Wayne y la lucha por la justicia, que es una lucha muy oscura cuando hablamos de Batman. Y luego tienes a Superman, por otro lado, que vive en un mundo muy diferente y opera de una manera muy distinta y con una metodología muy diferente en cuanto a cómo protege a la gente y por qué lo hace. Él no lleva una máscara. Realmente quiere ser aceptado porque, para ser sinceros, pienso que de niño nunca se sintió aceptado. Nunca sintió que era uno de nosotros.”

Y por eso, en medio de este gran contraste, no puedes añadir a otros 4 superhéroes más si quieres darles profundidad.

Affleck asegura haber visto la película del "Suicide Squad" confirmando la presencia de Batman en ella, “He visto el Suicide Squad, y puedo decirte que esa película realmente funciona. Es a película es real, realmente genial y divertida y fantástica.”

Por su parte, Cavill confirma que no aparecerá en el "Suicide Squad", pero deja la puerta abierta a una posible aparición en la película de "Wonder Woman" o en otra.

- Detalles de la versión R-rated 'Ultimate Edition' de "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice":

La revista EW, junto a las novedades ofrecidas en su especial de "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" sobre la película que llegará a nuestros cines el próximo 23 de Marzo, también habla sobre la que será la edición definitiva o "versión extendida del director" y que saldrá con una clasificación "R" frente a la más moderada "PG-13" que llegará a los cines.

Entre las novedades con las que cuenta esta edición que estará disponible el próximo verano en DVD/Blue-Ray están:

-Más tiempo de metraje (de duración aún sin confirmar además de las 2 horas y 31 minutos oficiales). “Dijimos, ‘Ok, mira. No vamos a hacer una película de 3 horas. Es decir, ni siquiera yo quería hacer una película de tres horas,” dice Zack Snyder. “Manejé los cortes probablemente más duramente que cualquiera. El estudio, ellos estaban predispuestos a consentir mucho a la película. Pero sentía que es manejable en dos horas y media. No olvidemos que los créditos son súper largos, los créditos finales. Así es que la película está más cerca de tener unas dos horas y 22 minutos.”

-Escenas de pelea más brutales (lo que le da su clasificación de "R"). “No hay mucha sangre en nuestras películas,” dice el productor Charles Roven. “El baremo de ratings también juzga las calificaciones de PG-13 y R por lo que consideran que es un nivel de intensidad y cuánto dura esa intensidad a lo largo de toda la película. Hay algunas escenas bastante intensas en Batman v Superman, y si duran más y tienen el mismo nivel de intensidad, eso puede hacer que la calificación cambie.”

-Ben Affleck habla sobre por que piensa que es interesante el poder contar con las dos versiones. “Soy padre de dos hijos pequeños, y siento que no querría tener un Batman v Superman que no pudiera mostrar a mis hijos más pequeños. Pero por lo mismo, como adulto, me gusta ver películas con calificación R. Pienso que hoy en día al tener tantas medios y formas de distribución podemos hacer cosas diferentes, es una solución creativa a un reto creativo. Puedes tener múltiples versiones y puedo enseñarles la película a mi hijo y a mis hijas y estar seguro de que las cosas no son demasiado locas, y luego los adultos pueden ver la versión extendida, que es como el trailer de la pandilla. Ellos pueden ver una versión más adulta de esa película”. “Estas películas han definitivamente evolucionado de ser cómics para niños y dirigidas hacia los niños. Ahora son las que más se hacen, las más exitosas, las que más ampliamente se ven estos días. Claramente hay una audiencia lo suficientemente grande. Pienso que es genial. ¿Por qué no tener una versión R que lances para descargar o para DVD más tarde? Pienso que es inteligente.”

-Pistas adicionales para futuras películas y muchos easter eggs que serán divertidos para todos. Snyder menciona un easter egg enorme que habla de lo que va a pasar en el universo más grande de la Justice League, “Hay uno gigante sobre el que no te contaré que va a hablar de lo que va a pasar en el mayor universo de la Justice League”.

-La versión que llega a cines ha recortado por completo el personaje de Jenna Malone, que sigue siendo secreto pero del que Snyder asegura tajantemente que NO es ni Robin ni Barbara Gordon/Batgirl. “Pienso que debemos mantenerlo en privado, pero no es nada de lo que se ha estado hablando. Definitivamente no es Robin o Batgirl. Estoy feliz de decir eso”. (¿Será Oracle entonces?)

-Alguno de los personajes de menor importancia en la versión de cine, tendrán más explicación en la Ultimate Edition y además otros serán rescatados de la sala de edición junto al de Malone. “Hay un par, como Ahman Green,el corredor de los Green Bay Packers, que está. Y C.T. Fletcher que es este gurú del músculo de Compton, este tipo estupendo. Es fantástico, y está en ella,”

- Gal Gadot habla sobre 'Wonder Woman' en "Batman V Superman":

Antes de llegar a la gran pantalla como la heoína 'Wonder Woman' a finales de mes en "Batman V Superman", la actriz Gal Gadot ha hablado con la revista "Glamour" sobre su muy anticipado papel:

"Era importante para mí el que mostráramos lo independiente que ella es," dice Gadot. "No depende de un hombre, y no está allí por una historia de amor. No está allí para servir a alguien más."

"Tiene muchas fuerzas y poderes, pero al final del día es todo su corazón - ésa es su fuerza. Es una mujer con mucha inteligencia emocional... Pienso que las mujeres son increíbles por mostrar lo que sienten. Admiro a las mujeres que lo hacen. Pienso que es un error cuando una mujer tapa sus emociones para parecer fuerte. Yo digo que aceptes quienes somos y lo uses como fortaleza."

Gadot también habló sobre la importancia del femisimo para ella. "Feminismo se trata de igualdad," dice. "Quiero que todas las personas tengan las mismas oportunidades y que consigan los mimos salarios por los mimos trabajos. Me doy cuenta de que estoy haciendo lo que quiero hacer porque las mujeres que han ido antes que yo sentaron las bases. Sin ellas no sería una madre educada trabajadora que está siguiendo mis sueños."

Gadot concluye, "Nada de lo que planeé sucedió. Pero siempre que se alzó una oportunidad, estuve preparada y fui positiva y todas esas cosas que no conseguíi, todos esos ‘casi'—si los hubiera conseguido, no sería Wonder Woman".

- Batman v Superman Q&A: Henry Cavill sobre el daño de Superman (EW):

Batman v Superman Q&A: Henry Cavill sobre el daño de Superman
Por Anthony Breznican 08 Marzo 2016

When asked about your weaknesses in a job interview, the old joke is that you should always answer: “I care too much …”

But that’s actually the truth about Clark Kent’s heroic alter ego in the new DC cinematic universe. As Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice heads to theaters March 25, Entertainment Weekly has been talking with the filmmakers and stars about where things will go after 2013’s Man of Steel.

Henry Cavill literally describes his Superman as the new guy on the job, one who knows he messed up while trying to save the world the last time around. It sounds like a fair amount of regret hangs over the head of this superhero, and now he has invoked the ire of this bizarre man in a bat costume from neighboring Gotham City.

Here are the actor’s thoughts on what Kal-El is facing in Dawn of Justice, and how he’s learning on the job…

Entertainment Weekly: This film has been in the works for three years, so what are your earliest memories of getting back into the cape and picking up the story after Man of Steel?
Henry Cavill: My first memory of getting back into it was delving back into the comics and finding bits of personality. Obviously, I had to wait for the script to come back so I knew what I was allowed to implement, and then it was just about trying to get as much of Superman’s character into the script as possible – as far as how I saw it – and of course everyone has their different viewpoints on the character. My lasting memory, was going back to the comic books and really exploring the psychology of the man with the hope that I could apply it to the script.

Kryptonite has become a synonym in the English language for a weak spot, an Achilles heel, but beyond that these movies have taken the fact that Superman can’t save everyone and made that a weakness. I think that’s a very human weakness to have.
For me, when it came on to Superman’s weakness, it’s inside him. It’s the fact that he does really love humans. He loves what they bring to the world, he loves this planet and who he lives alongside, and he wants to really, really help them. We could go deep into the psychology of what that means and what that makes ones intentions on a daily basis when you’re a super-powered alien.

Not only is he bulletproof, but he can withstand a lot of cruel treatment from us.
Essentially it’s that. That’s his weakness, that he doesn’t want to hurt anyone. He doesn’t want to scare anyone, and in that you can take advantage of him. It makes it very easy to take advantage of him. … This is someone who is a complete amateur, and he’s facing up against someone who is very well versed in the arts of war.

That’s the way religions of the world talk about God, isn’t it? That God loves us even if we’re horrible, even if we do the worst things imaginable. It’s interesting seeing that element in Superman.
I mean, there’s always been some parallels drawn, theological parallels drawn between Superman and various religions. I do my best to draw parallels just between mythological heroes if I can, and yeah, because religion’s a dangerous ground. That’s a minefield.

After the destruction we saw in Man of Steel, is Superman suffering from a kind of survivor’s guilt, since he saved the world, but destroyed a city?
I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s a survivor’s guilt. I mean, that’s a different kind of thing because he’s above the threat. I think the most difficult thing for him at this stage of the story is that he has just come to terms with the fact that he is really, really quite powerful and he hasn’t found any major vulnerabilities yet, and despite this, despite the enormous power that he has, he still cannot do everything, and he really struggles with that. It’s not just a quick, “Okay, I get it. I can’t save everyone.” That takes a long time to work out.

There were complaints from some fans that it was out-of-character for Superman to allow the Man of Steel fight to cause such destruction and loss of life. In Batman v Superman, that anger is part of the story – it’s why Bruce Wayne hates Superman. Did it surprise you that they incorporated that?
I think that may have been part of the master plan all along. When it comes to the major story stuff I can’t really speak on that, because that was above my paygrade. What I can speak of is the idea of Superman, especially when the finger is pointed at collateral damage in the first movie. I mean, we’re talking about a greenhorn.

Do you think he’d do it differently now?
Let’s say now, [if] Superman has the same threat again, that’s a different story. He would, of course, bring collateral damage to an absolute minimum, but in that, he’s just trying to survive because if he doesn’t, the planet’s gone. That’s the excuse I make for Superman. He’s fresh and he’s new, and it’s very easy to point out the faults in someone after they’ve done it, but put yourself in their shoes and see what happens.

In the past, some have complained Superman is too perfect. But give them the flawed hero, and there are complaints that Superman should be perfect. It seems like your Superman deals with the same problem. He seems to want the world to cut him a little bit of slack.
I mean, it’s going to be impossible to please everyone anyway, but I think there is huge potential to provide Superman with the weakness that people crave in the future and expand upon story stuff without offending the lore of Superman. It’s a fine line to tread because we’re in a different age now, but I think we can tell a fascinating, interesting story where Superman has his weaknesses and is also doing the thing which we expect Superman to do. He’s being the ideal. It shouldn’t be easy to tell the story of Superman.

Shouldn’t this Superman be a little angry? He saved the world, but that doesn’t seem to be enough for everyone.
The thing about Superman is that although he is physically infallible, psychologically he’s very much vulnerable to the same things that make us vulnerable. When you’re doing your best, your utmost, and you still can’t save everyone, and then people point their finger at you and call you the bad guy, I mean, that would be enormously frustrating. I know the human reaction would be, “Hold on a second, F-you man,” and his reaction is the first half of that: not quite the ‘F-you.’ It’s the hurt.”

Are there any offbeat Superman stories from the comics that you’d especially love to see in film? I always loved Mark Millar’s Red Son, where Superman lands in the Soviet Union instead of Kansas…
I think the offbeat stories are great, and I read Red Son in particular before I did Man of Steel, to get an idea of the baseline of the character because despite the fact that it’s offbeat and he’s grown up in a completely different environment, the character is still, at it’s very core, the same thing, and I love that. I think what’s important now is to tell a story which is dedicated to sharing the same character in the comic books in the cinematic universe, and then after that’s been established, then we can start exploring some more of the offbeat stuff.

Now, your Batman, Ben Affleck, played early Superman actor George Reeves in a movie called Hollywoodland a few years ago. So, for you, as an actor who is now playing Superman, I wondered if you had any interesting conversations with him about him playing a guy who once played the same iconic role.
I didn’t actually. Maybe I should have a good long chitchat with him about that.

What do Batman and Superman talk about when you’re both in costume between takes?
Like, “Do you need to pee?” “Yeah, I need to pee.” “Should we go now or wait?” “How much time do you think we’ll have between shots?” [Laughs] That’s pretty much it. The process.

- Zack Snyder: Entrevista en profundidad sobre "Batman V Superman" (FilmInk):

Zack Snyder: Entrevista en profundidad sobre "Batman V Superman"
Por Gill Pringle 09 Marzo, 2016

With the hotly anticipated Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice now just a couple of weeks away, we go deep behind the scenes with director/producer, Zack Snyder.

“I truly like movies that are self-aware, and that are constantly reminding me that they’re movies while immersing me deeper into them,” Zack Snyder told FilmInk. “Every part of the movie is an illusion…every single part. It’s fun for me to play with the icons and the visual language of movies to make people buy into these worlds.”

Zack Snyder is, indeed, one of today’s cinema’s greatest fantasists, a filmmaker capable of creating stunning cinematic tableaux from the ground up, and films that pulse and pound with an energy and originality all their own. Like the best directors of big action films, however, Snyder also has a firm grip on cinematic essentials such as characterisation and plotting. His films are not merely engineered to set up the next action sequence, and in four out of his five films to date, Snyder has proven adept at reworking existing material for the big screen, putting his own often delirious spin on proceedings while remaining faithful to the work that has come before him.

Snyder was born in Wisconsin in 1966, and was first truly enraptured with cinema at the age of eleven when, like so many aspirants of his generation, he saw George Lucas’ 1977 classic, Star Wars. At around the same time, Zack received a Super 8 film camera from his parents, and started toiling on his own mini-films. Throughout his adolescence, Snyder further developed his love of film, and discovered a particular taste for genre cinema, with a special fondness for George A. Romero’s 1978 zombie satire, Dawn Of The Dead. After high school, Snyder studied at Heatherley School Of Fine Art in England, before attending The Art Centre College Of Design in Pasadena, while continuing to make his own short films the whole time. In the early nineties, Snyder started directing television commercials, and quickly made a name for himself in the industry by dent of his nose-to-the-grindstone work ethic and highly individual sense of style. Among countless others, Snyder spent the bulk of the decade on high profile campaigns for the likes of Nike, Reebok, Budweiser, UPS, Audi, Subaru, Nissan and BMW.

By 2002, Snyder’s talents had come to the attention of Hollywood, where commercials directors were well and truly in vogue. He signed a deal with Columbia Pictures to make a big budget version of the 1975 television series, S.W.A.T, but jumped ship when the studio questioned his gritty, hard edged approach to what they envisioned as a straight-ahead actioner. He was next slated to helm an adaptation of the comic book, Mage, about an ambivalent superhero. That project stalled, which gave Snyder the opportunity to jump on board the remake of Dawn Of The Dead, one of his touchstone cinematic experiences. The film was exciting, visceral and terrifying. The reviews were positive, the box office rung, and Snyder was Hollywood’s new genre-friendly it-boy.

Since making such a big splash, Snyder has had his fair of production struggles. The politics of his adaptation of Frank Miller’s graphic novel, 300 – which traces an epic battle between a small Spartan war party and the massive Persian army – were questioned, with accusations that the film was a barely disguised, highly simplistic, and dangerously propagandistic depiction of America’s current battles with The Middle East. On his next project, Watchmen – an adaptation of Alan Moore’s epochal graphic novel – Snyder had to endure several legal tangles over ownership of the material (as well as the public animus of the source material’s infamously prickly author, a vocal non-supporter of the project) before going through a long, hellish shoot to realise his epic vision.

Snyder moved through smoother waters with his breathtaking animated fantasy, Legend Of The Guardians: The Owls Of Ga’Hoole, and Sucker Punch, a girls’ own adventure flick. Zack Snyder now stands as the lynchpin in Warner Bros and DC Comics’ burgeoning cinematic universe, which he surreptitiously created with 2013’s Man Of Steel, and now launches into headfirst with the superhero-saturated Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice. FilmInk spoke with the producer/director during the production of the film.

When you were looking down the barrel of this, what was the thing that excited you the most?

“All of it, honestly! Let’s see, where to begin? I’ve told this story a couple of times, but I’ll tell it again because I love to. It’s the story of how we conceived the why of Batman V Superman, and why it ended up being Batman as the ‘V.’ We had a bunch of discussions when we were doing Man Of Steel about what we were going to do for a bad guy for the sequel, or the continuing saga. And in a lot of ways, we were like, ‘Let’s not make a sequel in the traditional sense. Let’s kick start another mythological storyline. Once we knew that we weren’t going to do a straight sequel like you would do for a normal movie franchise, we said, ‘Okay, here’s Superman, now we can begin another path.’ When we were doing Man Of Steel, I said something like, ‘What if at the end of the movie we saw kryptonite being delivered to Wayne Manor, and that’s the last shot.’ Everyone was like, ‘Oh, hmm, interesting.’ The problem with that whole thing is that once you start talking about Batman, and you go down that road, it’s hard to come up with a better idea than that. At one point, we just talked a little about Batman fighting Superman…but then that was it. We were done. Because there’s no other guy that he should fight that is better than Batman. Sure, there’s Brainiac or something…but nobody is better than Batman. People were always like, ‘What was that thing you said about Batman? That was good. Let’s go back.’ Once we’d said it out loud, the work started on creating the philosophical oppositional stances that would put them into conflict. That was the fun part, because I knew immediately that they weren’t going to get along, right out of the gate. They have common ground, but they have different approaches. The morality is different. Even though Superman is an amazingly benevolent and kind individual, who has grown up in Kansas, which is known for its niceness, the potential abuse of his power is staggering. An anarchist like Batman would not want such a potential power out there. I don’t want to say he could be a dictator but…the potential human rights violations that could go on based on Superman’s powers would be pretty scary to Batman. So it was an easy fire to stoke in both of them. And you could imagine that Superman would not take kindly to someone who he believed was acting as judge, jury, and executioner in the vigilante position. That he’s not respecting due process, Batman!”

Is this movie going to start a nice rivalry between DC and Marvel?

“I’m a comic book fan, so it’s a hard thing for me. I have a great interest in the movies that they’re making, and I have nothing bad to say about those movies. But I will say that Warner allow for these amazingly open movies that allow a giant audience. But they’re very careful, they age the movies with the people that are watching them very carefully, in a very interesting and thought out way, but they’re also very filmmaker driven. You can’t imagine those films being made by these very strong filmmakers without a sense of respect and kindness. They say, ‘We hired you to go and make something cool, so show us what that is.’ I don’t know what the Marvel process is. They have their own way of doing things. But I know what happens at Warner, and I feel like the great work that they’ve done here has been based on that philosophy. That will end up being the thing maybe for me which is most rewarding as a filmmaker. They allowed for this unexpected journey for the film, because I was just allowed to make it cool.”

Can we talk about casting? With Christian Bale out of contract….

“This is a total and opposite reality from the Chris Nolan movies. It’s another universe, so we couldn’t hire Christian Bale if we wanted to, because he doesn’t exist in our world. Maybe we could hire him to play another part. We did talk about that briefly. I just wanted to hire Christian to play another part to make that obvious. Christian could play, like, Alfred with age makeup. No! Of course not. But you know what I mean. Even people at the studio would say, ‘Who are you getting from the other movies?’ And I was like, ‘Hey, come on guys, let’s all understand, it’s a different world.’ In the Batman universe that Chris Nolan created, Superman would have a hard time existing. That that’s why we did a reboot on the universe, so we could allow these characters to exist together. We needed to do that to have Batman exist in this world.”

What was it that you saw in Ben Affleck that made you choose him to play Batman?

“I really wanted an old Batman – not, like, decrepit! I wanted a world weary Batman… someone who has had experiences, and Ben has really hit that. He’s a movie star now in the greatest definition of the word. He has gravitas. We’ve greyed his hair a little, and we’ve made him look a bit rough and rugged, in a good way. He’s a great actor, and he’s a big person. He’s 6’4”, and in the boots, he’s 6’6”. I don’t like a small Batman…I like my Batmen bigger!”

Ben is also a filmmaker…

“He was amazingly kind with me and generous. He was like, ‘Yes sir, boss, what do you need?’ He would be like, ‘I don’t know what you’re doing here, sir, just tell me that to do.’ And I couldn’t be more grateful to his generosity and his work ethic. He just worked, and it was gruelling, I’ll be honest. That costume isn’t easy to wear. And it’s raining and it’s cold and it’s Detroit and you’re out for hours. We were turning the rain on him, and he’s like, ‘Arrrggh…’ There’s nothing glamourous about shooting a movie, especially a superhero movie. The suits are no good!”

But it does have a zipper!

“It does have a zipper. We did that. We gave him a zipper. There’s only so much torture a man’s going to take. By the way, Henry’s suit has a zipper now too…we added a zipper to Henry’s. Ben’s Batman costume is the most traditional Batman costume that’s ever existed in the movie world, in the purest sense. I didn’t want a hard suit for his normal costume. In the past, they’ve always done variations of him looking like it’s armour of some kind. I’ve always been a fan of what I thought would be more like, I don’t want to say fabric…we said that it was some sort of Kevlar weave that his suit was made of. It’s more about the body. It seems like with every movie that I’ve ever made that they’re all very physical. It seems like I’ve destroyed a lot of men’s self-esteem. They have no chance no matter how much they go to the gym.”

You worked with Frank Miller, who famously wrote the graphic novel, The Dark Knight Returns, which features an older, angrier Batman. Did your Batman come out of some of his ideas?

“I’m a huge fan of The Dark Knight Returns, but this movie is not The Dark Knight Returns. Frank and I share a lot of aesthetic interest, and certainly his portrayal of an old Batman in that novel inspired me, because it rings true. That’s how I approached it, through that prism of what meets my standard of cool superhero.”

When we were talking to Ben, he mentioned that you and [co-screenwriter] Chris Terrio working together was like magic. Could you talk about that?

“Chris is amazing, and Chris and I did have an amazing collaboration. Chris is super smart, and he does his research. He knows what’s going on….but he’s not a total dork! Well, maybe academically he’s a little bit of a dork. But he’s read all the books, and he’s got more dogma now than I do because he’s done all this research. Now I’ll say, ‘Let’s not do this’ and he’ll be like, ‘But in such and such comic book, they did that.’ And I said, ‘Chris, what happened to you?!’ In the beginning, he was like, ‘Screw those comic books! We’ll make it awesome, and more literary.’ Anyway, it’s great. Chris, in the end, wants it to mean something, and he wants it to be about something. It’s amazing having these three titans of pop culture…I mean, it’s just the craziest IP that you can imagine! Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman! And we’re actually manipulating and having fun with their stories! It’s an amazing opportunity.”

How exciting is it to have Wonder Woman in Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice?

“It’s an amazing opportunity to have Wonder Woman in the film. We haven’t had a female superhero of that magnitude, and it’s an amazing opportunity for the world to get behind an amazing, powerful female character. I’m happy that we have the opportunity to do that. Half of my movies have female leads…maybe that’s because I have so many strong women in my life. I’m not in the least surprised by a strong female superhero. I’m shocked that it hasn’t happened sooner. By the way, I highly recommend Jill Lepore’s book, The Secret History Of Wonder Woman, if you haven’t read it; it’s amazing, and truly epic.”

How hard was it to find your Wonder Woman, and what characteristics were important for her?

“We tested a bunch of actresses, as you can imagine. But the thing with Gal is that she’s strong, she’s beautiful, and she’s a kind person, which is interesting, but fierce at the same time. It’s that combination of being fierce but kind at the same time that we were looking for. She can get serious, but she’s amazingly fun to be around. And by the way, she really held her own with Ben in the screen test. Ben was like, ‘Whoa, that girl is something else!’ That was a good sign, because Ben is very tough in the scene, and he’s big and commanding. Anytime that you’re doing a test like that and you’re looking at the other person, you’re thinking, ‘Okay, that’s good stuff.’ That was part of the process, and over time as we got to know Gal, we found out how amazing she is.”

Did you see a lot of actresses?

“We did…I can’t even remember how many in terms of interviews, but for the final test, I think that we tested six actresses. But we interviewed and saw hundreds, so it was a pretty exhausting process.”

Does she have as much screen time as Ben and Henry in this movie?

“No, she has a cameo in this movie. No, actually… it’s bigger than a cameo. She comes in and does something.”

In the trailer, Superman and Batman make a joke and then Wonder Woman appears. How did that joke come about?

“The ‘Is she with you?’ joke at the end of the trailer? You have to see the movie, because it gears into the drama of what’s happening, and if you see it in the context of the film, it completely makes sense that the two of them were trying to figure out who she is…”

What kind of dynamic do the three of them have?

“Well, they’re forced together, which you get a sense of from the trailer. They’re forced to work together.”

Were you more of a Batman kid or a Superman kid?

“Probably as a kid, when I was younger, I was more into Superman, which is the opposite of a lot of kids. I was definitely more of a Superman kid. Dr. Manhattan is my favourite character in Watchmen, and I always related those two characters to each other in a lot of ways. I always thought that Superman could go the way of Dr. Manhattan any minute. He could just have a revelation and decide that time and space were just another thing like an emotion, or something like that. I always found Superman interesting on an intellectual level. But on a physical, emotional level, Batman is a lot of fun. When I got into college, I was more of a Batman guy. I’m a fan of all the Batman movies, because you’re always looking for that little piece of the Batman movie that you want to make, but until we made this movie, I’d never seen a Batman that I really wish that I’d made. I still felt like I had to make my own Batman. I had a clear idea about what I wanted Batman to be. There wasn’t really a lot of discussion about what he would be. I was like, ‘This is Batman, and this is what he does.’ Ben understood immediately the kind of Batman that I wanted.”

Can we talk about Lex Luthor? Was the script changed when Jesse Eisenberg was cast?

“I don’t know where you heard that. When we wrote the script with Lex in it, we invented this version of Lex. We never had an older version of Lex in our movie. We talked about it, sure. I met with Jesse for another part, and after he left, I was like, ‘Oh man, he was awesome…he could play Lex!’ It was very easy for Chris Terrio to channel Jesse because they’re very similar people in the best kind of way. They have similar points of view on a lot of things. They’re intellectual types. The careful construction of that character came right out of Chris. And, it was Chris and Jesse from the beginning, you know? The part was custom made for Jesse, and Chris did an amazing job creating it. When Lex Luthor confronts Superman and they talk about the why of it, it’s a crushingly cool point of view.”

You’ve got a long slate of films coming out. How much in the scripting of this was foreshadowing what’s to come?

“I tried to have as much fun with it as possible, maybe because I love comic books and I love the potential for that kind of madness. We’ve been talking a lot about where we’re going to go with Justice League…we kind of knew what Justice League was going to be pretty early on, which allowed us to lay the groundwork in a lot of ways. When you see the movie, you’ll really get a sense that there’s a second layer coming, and filtering down through the film, as far as what’s possible. We slowly introduce the other characters and how they play and what is their purpose and where they are in the world.”

And do you think it resonates with the world, the subject?

“I do. We’ve really gone out of our way to imbue the movie with a sense of meaning beyond the comic book world. I don’t want to spoil it, but it’s definitely something that we tried hard to do. Justice League is my next movie, and that’s about turning the whole thing up to eleven as much as you can, with all these guys trying to work together, if that’s possible. That’s a lot of fun for me.”

- Ben Affleck: Bruce Wayne odia a Superman, pero está 'inspirado' por Wonder Woman (EW):

Ben Affleck: Bruce Wayne odia a Superman, pero está 'inspirado' por Wonder Woman
Por Anthony Breznican 09 Marzo 2016

Batman isn’t the loquacious type. And for the longest time, Ben Affleck stayed silent about playing him, too.

Just a few months after winning the Best Picture Oscar for Argo in 2013, Warner Bros. announced he would become the new man beneath the cowl, picking up the role after Christian Bale’s massively popular Dark Knight trilogy for a new take on the character in director Zack Snyder’s Batman/Superman film.

He did no interviews. Appeared nowhere to discuss the character. Haters had a field day, while supporters had little backup to defend the choice. Even a year later, at 2014’s San Diego Comic-Con, Affleck appeared onstage with costars Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot … and simply waved. The idea was: Let the fans wait and see.

With Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice finally opening on March 25, Affleck is dispelling the smoke bomb and finally opening up about his version of Bruce Wayne. We’re seeing a lot of the gray-haired, world-weary Batman who will face down Cavill’s Man of Steel and Gadot’s Wonder Woman.

When the actor spoke by phone with Entertainment Weekly, he was traveling to the editing room for Live By Night (the new thriller he’s directing from a novel by Gone Baby Gone author Dennis Lehane) after just finishing a full-body scan for the Batman visual effects in Justice League, which starts shooting April 11.

Batman’s a multitasker. Obviously.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How was Batman first pitched to you — because you’re not just signing on to one film or a couple of sequels. There seems to be no end in sight for the number of films that could involve your version of Batman.
BEN AFFLECK: Initially I took the idea of doing Batman in the abstract. I was sort of uncertain about it. I went in and looked at Zack’s long-term worldview and the take he had on this character. It’s within the kind of canon of Batman, and the part of the Batman canon that he chose and the way that he saw taking it long-term, that was interesting to me. And the partner that he chose in telling this story is Chris Terrio [who won an Oscar for his screenplay for Argo]. Chris Terrio wrote not only this movie, but he wrote Justice League, and he also helped the long-term vision.

What would you say Chris contributed to the overall Batman vision?
Chris is such a smart guy and so thoughtful and so invested in realism that it really was exciting to me. Zack was the guy who is so into the comic books and the fanboy world, and Chris was the guy who did political thrillers and wasn’t a comic book guy. They were sort of perfect compliments to one another. I thought that was a brave partnership on both of their parts, a perfect match, a yin and yang sort of thing. That combination was really exciting to me. So I was really psyched.

Did Chris sign on before you did or was it kind of a simultaneous thing?
Right around when I signed on. That was part of what was being talked about even though he hadn’t signed his deal yet.

Were you like a package deal? Obviously you two have this history together from Argo.
No, we were not a package deal at all. We were totally separate components, and this was a coincidence. Obviously we had some history from Argo, but it was just lucky happenstance for me. Obviously, Warner Bros. hired Chris to write Argo before , so they knew Chris long ago. I’ve had a long history with him and a successful history with them, and so it was sort of on a parallel track.

The Batman character has been played by a lot of people, and he’s been written by a lot of people, and every iteration brings something new to it. Looking back on this movie, what would you say is your contribution to Batman’s legacy?
Oh gosh, I wouldn’t. I would leave that for other people to say. What I wanted was to create a Batman that was sort of at the end of his rope physically and psychologically and emotionally, a guy who was beaten down by the world, a guy who was a little bit more of a slugger, who has more gray in his hair, and who was questioning whether the whole journey that he lived as Batman was in fact even worth it, given that he was not superhero, but now had to face a super-being, which none of the other Batmans had to confront in the movie world. It’s an interesting thing to combine, because in the Nolan Batmans, which are the defining Batmans — so magnificent — there are no other superheroes. It’s just this guy. He never has to reconcile who he is with this idea that there are all these other people who can do these supernatural things. Having to confront that and having to deal with that is my contribution to the character.

I like that Zack took this issue that some people had with Man of Steel, the anger over all this chaos and destruction unleashed in the climax of that movie and actually turned it into the plot. Can you talk to me about the contempt that Bruce Wayne feels for this godlike figure?
Yeah, watching destruction and seeing things exploding, which we take for granted in this genre of movie — there’s a price for that. There are people in those buildings, and the people in those buildings get killed, and that’s the real price of violence. The real cost of that is in people’s lives and suffering. And we see that through the suffering that Bruce Wayne goes through. I think it’s really interesting. I really liked the idea that you can’t just blow up a whole city and just blindly move on.

Sometimes it makes us lash out, too.
There’s an enormous amount of fear and resentment and suffering that would engender. And we know what that is, we know what that’s like now. It ties in nicely thematically with Bruce’s dilemma. We know what happens now when confronted with powerful things that scare us, that can hurt us. We get afraid, we get reactionary.

And Superman’s presence is confusing to the our world. Who is this guy?
We often fall back on our haunches and want to arm ourselves or we want to attack, so I don’t think it’s a very farfetched reaction that Bruce has to the arrival of Superman in the world. It’s not like we all know Superman’s a good guy, he’s been in comic books since the fifties and he’s standing for truth, justice, and the American way. The truth is, a super-being showed up and was in some fights with some other super-beings and a lot of people were killed. I think a tremendous amount of controversy surrounds that. You figure that a lot of people think, “This guy should be locked up.”

Your Batman has been doing this for more than a decade or so, maybe even longer than that. But he doesn’t feel like things are better. Is Batman projecting some of his own anger toward himself on Superman?
Yeah, he’s projecting in some ways his own sense of failure, his own sense of disillusionment, his own cynicism onto Superman, having at one point been certainly much more idealistic about what he was doing. He’s also always been kind of a dark guy. You can’t go out at night and avenge crime the way he does, obviously, without a darker view of the world, but you can see that this probably contributes in some degree to the greater cycle of violence. And that doesn’t put an end to crime. There’s a line about weeds just cropping up and criminals are like weeds, you just pull more of them and they grow back. He’s very disillusioned and very bitter.

He had a Robin at one point, and we don’t know exactly which Robin that was, but we learned he died.
He’s bitterly disappointed in the past that he’s lost this guy who fought by his side. That character’s death must have been devastating to him, and he’s suffered. We get the sense that he’s suffered a lot of devastating losses before this movie even starts.

How does Wonder Woman play into Batman’s thinking? Because we learn that she’s been doing this for ages – much longer than him. And if she’s not jaded …
It inspires in him the idea that well, if there’s one of these kinds of people out there, then maybe there are in fact more. If there are more, then maybe that’s hopeful and also terrifying to him, because then they could make humans even more powerless — or they could serve on our side. You’ve got to remember that Batman is the world’s greatest detective, and if he suspects that there may be more, and if he suspects in particular that Diana may be somebody special, he gets inspired.

What was it like acting with Gal Gadot, both as Diana Prince and Wonder Woman?
She’s particularly beguiling and inspiring. Gal as an actress, I think is spectacular. It’s an incredibly hard part to pull it off, and she pulls it off with ease and grace, and it’s also just really fun to watch. I think it’s exciting to him that she’s out there and, ultimately, without giving too much away, he realizes that it’s not only exciting, but also necessary that he finds more of them if they are, in fact, out there.

Can you give me a status update on this Batman movie that you might direct? Is it definitely going to happen?
There’s definitely willingness and a will and a desire to make a Batman movie on the part of Warner Brothers. It’s in development, and right now I’m really focused on finishing Live By Night. That’s where my focus is, and I tend to be a one movie at a time guy. So, when I’m finished with this movie, I’ll then focus on my next movie and figure out what that will be.

'Batman v Superman': Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill y Zack Snyder hablan sobre la pelea de los superhéroes
Por Josh Rottenberg 10 Mayo 2016

Forget Hillary versus the Donald. Hollywood has its own clash of the titans coming, and it's likely to be yuge.

Comic-book fans have long debated who would win in an all-out battle between two of the superhero realm's most formidable icons, Batman and Superman. In director Zack Snyder's "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," in theaters March 25, that heavyweight title bout — which has been depicted numerous times in the comics, most famously in Frank Miller's classic 1986 series "The Dark Knight Returns" — will finally play out on the big screen.

A follow-up to Snyder's 2013 "Man of Steel," the superhero mash-up sees a vengeful Batman (Ben Affleck) taking on Superman (Henry Cavill), whom he views as a threat to humankind, even as a mutual foe emerges in the form of psychopathic tech genius Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg). Budgeted at $250 million, "Batman v Superman" represents a critical gambit in Warner Bros.' bid to expand its DC Comics cinematic universe, teeing up a long-awaited movie featuring Wonder Woman — introduced here by Gal Gadot in a breakout supporting role — as well as other standalone superhero movies and a larger team-up Justice League film that will unite all of DC's marquee heroes, a la Marvel's "The Avengers."

On a recent afternoon, we spoke with Affleck, 43, Cavill, 32, and Snyder, 50, about the supersized stakes behind one of the year's most highly anticipated comic-book epics.

There's been an incredible amount of scrutiny aimed at this movie. From the start, fans have been picking apart every nugget of news, every trailer, every rumor. What does it feel like to be on the other side of that? Is it possible to tune it out?

Snyder: The tweets, comments, articles, blogs — it's insanity. I tune it out to the extent that, when it's really dumb, then we go, "OK, someone stomp this [rumor] because it's stupid." But mostly I just go, "Thank God they're talking about the movie." The fact that they care enough to get online and either rage or praise — that's just cool for the culture, for the fans.

Affleck: Nobody tweeted about "Casablanca," and look at how they did. [Laughs] From directing movies myself, at this point I always feel too enmeshed with it, where I get this panicked sense of like, "Is it good? It's horrible, right? It's going to bomb." But I have a little more sense of remove from this. I feel relaxed and I'm proud of the movie and excited for people to see it. It's a much nicer feeling. I'm so glad I'm not Zack.

How did the idea of putting Batman and Superman together in one movie first come up?

Snyder: It was born from a conversation about what to do with Superman [after "Man of Steel"], what to face Superman off against next. I was also really interested in expanding the comic book universe. I think Chris [Nolan] did an amazing job with those three Batman movies he did, but to me those worlds are very self-contained. If Green Lantern came into the Dark Knight movies, you'd be like, "That's weird."

I really wanted the "Man of Steel" world to be a world where other DC characters could exist. So I was talking to Chris and I said, almost off the cuff, "What if Batman was the bad guy?" And once you say that, you can't take it back. I mean, who's a better guy to fight than Batman?

Cavill: What I love about the fact that we've introduced these two really important characters as well [in Batman and Wonder Woman], with these two fantastic actors playing them, is that we get to finally expand upon this incredibly rich DC universe. I think it would be a waste just to have one hero from this DC universe and focus on him when there's so much opportunity to tell really good stories using everyone.

The obvious question you face right away is, how do you actually have these two battle? Batman has amazing fighting skills and weapons, but Superman is basically indestructible and could just throw him out to Saturn if he wanted to.

Cavill: [Deadpan] I should have thought of that at the time.

Affleck: It's a credit to what a good guy Superman is. Put it this way: It takes an hour of storytelling to make it plausible. You don't just ring the bell at the beginning and they go out and start fighting like "Alien vs. Predator." [To Cavill] Have you seen the Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots toy with me and you, where we just pummel each other?

Cavill: No, that's awesome! I want one of those!

Affleck: We should have done that movie. Just a three-minute short.

Snyder: It's cool to have the setup where it's like, "This guy is a man. This guy is a god." They do fight, and the fight is compelling. That's the fun — that you have these two titans of that universe, and we got to use that playground to set them at each other. And the mythology is so rich, you can mine it all day and it allows all the subtlety and the nuances and the motivation for the conflict.

Ben, you've said you were initially reluctant about playing Batman. You once said starring in "Daredevil" "inoculated" you from ever playing another superhero.

Affleck: I just thought it wasn't a good fit. But I went in and met with Zack and saw this kind of visual 360 of posters and drawings and action figures and animatics — and I was totally blown away. All of the sudden I saw something I'd never seen before and hadn't even imagined.

This genre is the biggest forum for telling stories in the world right now. You get the biggest megaphone. But this movie is using the genre to explore really interesting themes. And just for me personally — you mentioned "Daredevil" — I thought, 'I want to be in one of these movies that works.'

There have been several actors who've played Batman over the years. How did you set about making him your own?

Affleck: You're right, he's been played by a number of great actors — obviously most recently by Christian [Bale], who's an amazing actor and was directed by Chris Nolan, who's a genius. You don't want to just try to do that because you're not going to live up to it. So the idea is to do something different but that also exists within the canonical realm of what is still considered Batman.

What I liked about Zack's vision for it is that it's sort of an existential Batman. He's a guy who's not actually in the throes of being Batman but looking back and asking himself, 'Was it worth it?' He's a graying Batman and more of a slugger and more of a man because he's more vulnerable. He's feeding some hole inside him — [burning a brand into] criminals at night, going to these underground fights, having some woman in his bed from some random encounter. He's functioning, but not in a healthy way. He's a haunted and broken guy.

The first time we see Batman in this movie, it almost plays like a scene in a horror movie.

Affleck: Exactly. It's like out of "Se7en" or "Aliens" or something, which is a really different vibe. My son still watches the Adam West "Batman" [TV series]. It's a far cry from where it started.

Henry, this movie also brings some new darker dimensions to Superman, whom we often think of as just the simple embodiment of pure goodness.

Cavill: Right, certainly in some previous live-action adaptations of Superman he's been — I don't know if "simplified" is the right word but something around there. But there is a complexity to Superman that is very prevalent in the comic books. It's just a matter of bringing it out, which is tricky to do.

Snyder: Because we've had the experience of the Dark Knight movies, we're generally open to a complex Batman. But I think — I hope — "Man of Steel" started the conversation about what a more complicated Superman would be. He loves just as hard and has as much at stake in relationships as anyone, and you don't know where he's going to go when you put pressure on him and threaten his loved ones.

Ben, when it was announced you were playing Batman, the Internet went nuts — and not in the most favorable way. Were you prepared at all for that reaction?

Affleck: Yeah, I wasn't totally up to speed with the extent to which the Internet can react to this stuff, and Warner Bros. was like, "Look, we just want to give you a little heads-up." And they kind of briefed me on the reactions to some past casting choices: negative reactions to Heath [Ledger] being cast as Joker and other past stuff I wasn't even aware of.

In my experience, the truth is, if your work is good, people are going to like it. If it's bad, people won't. The rest of it is just speculation. It's like when a team drafts a player: Fans can speculate, but you've got to wait until the season starts to see how they play.

Did the negativity hurt your feelings at all?

Affleck: I'm pretty grown up about this stuff. If I had my feelings getting hurt about stuff that was said on the Internet, I would have been gone a long time ago, my friend. [Laughs]

Last month, "Deadpool" proved to be a giant hit. What does it say to you about where we are in the evolution of the superhero genre that this R-rated, irreverent comic-book movie resonated so much with audiences?

Snyder: It's interesting. When I had my initial meeting with Chris Nolan about doing "Man of Steel," he said to me, "'Watchmen' is a movie you made too early." Because that movie was written deep into comic-book culture, as a way of exploring the why of heroes within pop culture. "Deadpool" shows that audiences have now gotten to the point where they can understand the satire of the genre. Before that, audiences were like, "I'm not ready for that. I'm not there yet."

That said, "Deadpool" was made on a much smaller budget and wasn't necessarily expected to be a massive hit. This movie is almost the opposite of that: The budget and the expectations are huge. How do you see the stakes?

Affleck: Look, in the broad sense, from a long-term portfolio perspective, Warner Bros. has already won. They own this vast underexploited [intellectual property] that is DC. They're going to make all these movies regardless. Will every DC movie be great and be successful? No. Would it be good if "BvS" works for them? Yes, obviously. But if any one of the movies doesn't work, it doesn't mean it all goes away. "Green Lantern" didn't work, and Green Lantern is going to come back and work for them.

Zack spent two years of his life on this movie, and we put in months and months. We are truly, deeply invested in this movie. We want the movie to be good. We want to be proud of it. I want to make a movie that my kids think is cool. It's not just us punching the corporate clock. You know, you get up at 5 and go to work at 6 in the morning and put on the suit. It's not particularly fun and sexy to roll around in a rubber suit fighting a stunt guy.

Cavill: [Scoffs] Says you. Whatever, prude.

El debate de la gran película de cómics: Chris Terrio talks "Batman V Superman"
Por Ben Fritz 10 Marzo, 2016 2:19 p.m. ET

‘Batman v Superman’ is another superhero sequel. It’s a clash of cultural icons. It’s about the politics of military intervention and terrorism. It’s inspired by W.H. Auden and Umberto Eco. It’s the highest-stakes movie produced by a Hollywood studio since James Cameron’s “Avatar.”

“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” opening March 25, is all these things and more: a 2½-hour, $250 million collection of Hollywood contradictions that could rise above the din of comic book adaptations or sink under its own bloated weight.

On its face, the movie seems like the most cynical of exercises: How to follow up 2013’s “Man of Steel,” which received mixed critical reviews, mixed reactions from fans and mixed results at the box office? (With $668 million being, by big-budget superhero standards, not all that impressive these days.)

The answer: Make the follow-up even bigger! Bring back Batman, last seen in Christopher Nolan’s 2012, trilogy-ending “The Dark Knight Rises.” Cast Ben Affleck as the caped crusader! Make them fight! But why just two superheroes? Let’s introduce Wonder Woman! And give brief glimpses of characters like Aquaman, Cyborg and Flash, who will soon get their own movies.

It’s not just a sequel and not just a superhero Battle Royal. It’s the launch of a new “cinematic universe,” Hollywood-speak for a series of interconnected movies in which characters coexist and stories interweave. Disney ’s Marvel pioneered the concept to great success and now Warner Bros. has boldly announced 10 DC movies to be released over the next five years.

All of those films flow out of the plot and characters established in “Batman v Superman.” If any of them are going to work, and Warner’s multibillion-dollar plan is to succeed, this one has to be a hit.

“While each movie stands alone, they’re all part of one long arc of storytelling,” said producer Charles Roven.

No pressure, in other words.

“Batman v Superman” comes amid hints that audiences are tiring of traditional superhero films. The last two releases were August’s mega-flop “Fantastic Four” and last month’s surprise blockbuster “Deadpool,” which succeeded by sending up every convention of the genre.

In contrast to “Deadpool,” “Batman v Superman” is deadly serious, continuing a pattern set in “Batman Begins” of trying to ground DC movies in what Warner production chief Greg Silverman calls “the big emotions of the human experience.” “Fun” and “family-friendly” won’t be the first words most people use after seeing a film that’s more revenge tragedy than brainless slugfest.

Still, audience interest is strong two weeks ahead of the picture’s debut, with research indicating it will open to about $140 million— perhaps slightly above the minimum Warner needs to declare it a bona fide blockbuster.

When kicking off the equivalent of a five-year plan, one might expect the studio to keep a dictatorial grip on the creative process. But though it’s the industry’s biggest studio, Warner has also earned a reputation as the most accommodating to filmmakers.

It’s the studio that last year allowed George Miller to soar with “Mad Max: Fury Road” and the Wachowskis to crash and burn with “Jupiter Ascending.” It has been the home of “Man of Steel” director Zack Snyder for a decade, through hits like “300” and flops like “Sucker Punch.”

On “Batman v Superman,” Warner paired Mr. Snyder with Chris Terrio, the “brilliant, brilliant, complicated”—in the words of Mr. Roven—Oscar-winning writer of “Argo,” who did a major rewrite of the script (he shares credit with “Man of Steel” writer David Goyer).

Mr. Terrio is a former student of British literature and phenomenology who dropped out of a masters program at Cambridge University to study film. On his first big-budget movie, he cites as influences not just Frank Miller’s seminal comic-book miniseries “The Dark Knight Returns” (which features its own Batman-Superman battle) and Mr. Nolan’s trilogy of Batman films. He also invokes Italian semiotician Umberto Eco’s 1972 essay “The Myth of Superman” and the W.H. Auden poem “Musée des Beaux Arts,” which contrasts the quotidian details of normal people’s lives with the epic struggles of mythological figures.

“Given the scale, you would think the whole thing has a corporate stench, but the way we worked there was this quality of, ‘I can’t believe they’re letting us do this,’ ” Mr. Terrio said.

The screenwriter went to great lengths to establish the movie’s titular conflict as more than the traditional comic-book gimmick of two superheroes tricked by a villain.

“Batman v Superman’s” opening sequence replays the final moments of “Man of Steel,” a sky-high brawl between Superman and Kryptonian villain General Zod, from the perspective of a civilian on the ground: Bruce Wayne.

In the 2012 movie, the scene was widely panned for portraying Superman as too violent and unconcerned about collateral damage. Mr. Affleck’s character agrees, drawing implicit comparisons to military drones and even 9-11 as he impotently watches the destruction of a Wayne Enterprises building in which his employees are maimed and die.

The likening of Henry Cavill’s Superman to a self-righteous military interventionist continues when he rescues Amy Adams’s Lois Lane from a reporting trip gone wrong in Africa. He is blamed for more collateral damage there.

Mr. Affleck’s Batman, on the other hand, makes Christian Bale’s version of the character in Mr. Nolan’s movies look like a pushover. A grizzled 40-something who seems on the verge of retirement, death or a mental breakdown, he literally brands enemies with the symbol of a bat and scares police as much as criminals. Clark Kent accuses him of a “reign of terror” in Gotham City.

“In superhero stories, Batman is Pluto, god of the underworld, and Superman is Apollo, god of the sky,” observed Mr. Terrio. “That began to be really interesting to me—that their conflict is not just due to manipulation, but their very existence.”

“Batman v Superman” is still an “event” movie, meaning it features plenty of over-the-top action scenes, shot in Mr. Snyder’s trademark hyper-stylized manner. It also features an uber-bad guy in the form of Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor, reimagined as a young tech billionaire who can’t stand being upstaged by superheroes: Think Mark Zuckerberg (whom Mr. Eisenberg played in “The Social Network”) with a psychopathic streak.

Israeli actress Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman, meanwhile, is a centuries-old mythological heroine who is drawn into Batman and Superman’s conflict. Like every superhero here, she already exists in the world—so no origin story is needed.

“If you bring in a character in a kinetic way, then you accept the reality more easily,” said Mr. Terrio.

The same approach will largely be followed in future DC films, said Mr. Roven. August’s “Suicide Squad” features a team of veteran villains. While next year’s Wonder Woman flashes back to the superheroine’s early days, 2018’s “Flash” and “Aquaman” will continue the characters’ stories from team-up movie “Justice League,” which opens in November of 2017.

The end of “Batman v Superman” provides a natural starting point for “Justice League,” but the DC movies are not as tightly woven as those made by Marvel.

“The artists are all communicating with each other,” said Mr. Silverman. “I think if you have a studio dictating where you’re going to be in six or seven years, the movies lose some of their magic.”

Mr. Terrio recently finished his script for “Justice League,” which starts shooting next month, giving him a key role defining the big- screen versions of DC superheroes. To prepare, the writer says he studied red- and blueshifts in electromagnetic physics to think about the Flash, investigated deep sea biology in the Mariana trench to create the world of Aquaman and read the Greek historian Diodorus of Sicily’s account of the war between Amazon and Atlantis to better understand Wonder Woman.

“If you told me the most rigorous dramaturgical and intellectual product of my life would be superhero movies, I would have said you were crazy,” the screenwriter said.

- ¿Está Dan Amboyer de nuevo apuntando a su papel en BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE?:

Está previsto que el actor Dan Amboyer aparezca en "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" en un papel que aún no se ha espeficado, y de nuevo el actor ha publicado una nueva imagen que puede ayudar a dar algo de luz a su personaje...

Desde que la Warner Bros. anunció la "Justice League: Part One" y toda su lista de películas de DC, que incluye una película de los "Green Lantern Corps" para el 2020, muchos han debatido sobre qué Green Lantern debería de unirse a la Justice League.

Desde hace tiempo se ha rumoreado que el actor Dan Amboyer, quien fue contratado para hacer un pequeño papel en la próxima entrega de Zack Snyder "Batman V Superman" había en realidad firmado para interpretar al nuevo 'Hal Jordan'.

La especulación se intensificó cuando el mismo actor publicó una foto de él mismo en su cuenta de Instagram llevando puesta una chaqueta parecida a la que lleva Jordan en los cómics.

Ahora, Entertainment Weekly ha confirmado en su especial de la semana pasada qie Green Lantern no aparecerá en "Batman V Superman", y que el personaje no hará su primera aparición en el Universo Extendido de DC al menos hasta la "Justice League: Part Two", como pronto.

Sin embargo, Amboyer continúa añadiendo leña al fuego y ha publicado otra foto de sí mismo apuntando a su papel en la película. ¿Interpretará finalmente a Hal Jordan en "Batman v Superman"? ¿Estará tan sólo haciendo campaña para el papel? ¿O estará jugando al despiste?

Supongo que saldremos de dudas de una vez por todas a finales de este mes cuando se estrene la película.

- ¿Revelada finalmente la identidad de Jena Malone en "Batman V Superman?":

Mucho se lleva especulando con referencia al papel que Jena Malone intyerpretará en "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" y que ahora, gracias a EW, sabemos que no veremos hasta este verano cuando se ponga a la venta la versión extendida del director en DVD y Blue-Ray ya que el mismo Snyder ha confesado que el papel de malone es uno de los que ha sido suprimido en la versión que llegará a finales de mes en el cine debido a los recortes del metraje que tuvieron que hacer para la gran pantalla.

Ahora, según un post en Reddit, durante una encuesta que estaba haciendo la Warner Bros. Pictures a los fans sobre el nombre del personaje que esperaban ver más en futuros trailers sobre la película, aparece el nombre de Jena Malone asociado al de 'Barbara Gordon':

Aunque el director Zack Snyder ha dicho previamente -- en respuesta a la especulación de los fans de que la actriz podría interpretar a Carrie Kelley o Barbara Gordon -- que Malone no era Robin o Batgirl, no descartó la posibilidad de que fuera Oracle, el papel que Barbara asumió después de que quedara paralizada tras un ataque de Joker en "Batman: The Killing Joke".

Dicho papel, además, podría fácilmente enlazarse con la película de este verano del "Suicide Squad", basada en el cómic en el que apareció por primera vez Oracle.

Y aunque se podría asumir que pueden estar tan sólo basándose en los rumores y las especulaciones que hay en la red, el hecho de que provenga de un medio oficial de la Warner Bros. resulta, cuanto menos, intrigante.


Como todo, tendremos que esperar a salir por completo de dudas a una confirmación oficial o al DVD el próximo verano, aunque esto es lo más cercano que hemos tenido hasta el momento a una posible confirmación oficial.
