Re: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Netflix Daredevil director clearly has never watched MOS.
“With this version of Daredevil,” he explains, “we wanted it to be grounded, gritty, as realistic as we could portray. That naturally fits in with the Daredevil character. Matt Murdock, on a regular basis, would get the **** beat out of him. That’s one thing that makes him a great character. He’s not super strong. He’s not invulnerable. In every aspect, he’s a man that’s just pushed himself to the limits, he just has senses that are better than a normal humans. He is human. The other thing that really drew me to this character is that he’s one of the most morally grey of the heroes… He’s a lawyer by day, and he’s taken this oath. But every night he breaks that oath, and goes out and does very violent things.”
DeKnight goes on to hint that, as fans might expect, Frank Miller’s run on the title is serving as a huge inspiration.
“The image that always stuck in my mind was the Frank Miller Elektra run where he’s holding Bullseye over the street,” DeKnight continues, “and he lets Bullseye go because he doesn’t want Bullseye to ever kill anyone again. When I read that originally, when I was young, I’d never seen anything like that in comics. Superman scoops up the villain and puts them in jail. This time the hero didn’t do that. It was a morally grey ground that I found absolutely fascinating. There are two sides to this character. He’s literally one bad day away from becoming the The Punisher!“

Big Bear probably thought you two were a couple of twinks.
I like the way this sounds. True it kinda sounds a bit "Nolanesque," but then it's completely salvaged with the part about using Miller as a heavy influence.

Daredevil and the Punisher get to be Nolanesque. Superman? Not so much.

Re: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Superman was never meant to be Nolanesque. He was created as a fun distraction as a hero that kids could look up to idolize and admire. Superman is a heroic bright and positive character. The real, gritty approach DC and Warner Brothers is taking is so against the character that he becomes boring and depressing.

That may be one of the single greatest things I've ever seen. Snyder is so awesome.

That Web site you linked to contained a bunch of pictures from Baltimore Comic Con. Here's two of the attendees.
