Snyder Wants to Make THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS

Talking to iFMagazine.com (via MTV's Splash Page), Snyder says, "That’s really my favorite comic book. However, the studio has this massive franchise and I don’t think they’ll let me make a BATMAN movie where he’s fifty years old and Ronald Reagan is president." I think Snyder just missed his window. After "Batman & Robin", I think Warner Bros. would have tried anything to get the franchise off the ground again. Then again, with "The Dark Knight" WB allowed Batman to be portrayed as a fascist and that fits right in with Miller's comic. Keep hope alive, Snyder!

Head over to iFMagazine.com to check out the full interview where Snyder also talks about his favorite Minuteman and why he chose to keep the film set in the 80s rather than the modern-day.

  2. i think he is a good filmmaker....
    but he is not the man for the job.

    the options are chris nolan
    and tim burton, because they are the
    masters of batman films...........

  3. fascism is a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism. how did the dark knight come off as a fascist? he's a vigilante yes, hes a capitalist yes, how is that a fascist?

  5. thank god. He would have sucked up the whole franchise.

    can people stop calling him a "visonary" director?

    10 hour slow motion fight scenes from unorignial source material does not make you visionary in any sense of the word.

  8. Only the most ignorant of people refer to "Conservatism" as "Fascism", not to mention calling the source material of the graphic novels as "unoriginal" truly defines the type of mentality at work here. So sad and quit shameful, do grow up and try learning a few things before opening up such an obsequious mouth.
