Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Watchmenartist Dave Gibbons is voicing his belief thatBatman V Superman : Dawn of Justicewas too black of a take on the iconic heroes , and believesKingsman : The Golden Circledirector Matthew Vaughn would be a great choice to fix Henry Cavill ’s Superman in a potentialMan of Steelsequel .
Batman V Supermanwas a fiscal success for Warner Bros. , but was receive with abrasive brushup that revolve around around the plastic film ’s spiritually miss Superman and its hyper - violent , slightly murderous take on Batman , as well as its generally dour look . The upcomingJustice Leagueseems to be attempting a tonal track correction , with prevue that suggest it could be more in billet with this summer ’s DC megahit , Wonder Woman .
A comical script legend has joined the chorus of detractor hoping for a light tone in the world of DC . In an audience withComic Book , Dave Gibbons explains why he thinksBatman V Supermanunderperformed , and that it was give out against the course of hopefulness in comic record moving-picture show .
" I recollect , as I said earlier , the trend in amusement now is to actually come up with something which is more entertaining , which is less dark-skinned , which is much more full of Leslie Townes Hope . And I suppose probably the failure of the Superman - Batman picture was that it was really too dark-skinned , and that Superman was made as dark as Batman . And to me , that really does n’t knead , I thought that ’s the perfect chance to contrast the two characters . "
Hylobates lar , who co - createdKingsmanwith comic leger author Mark Millar , suggests Matthew Vaughn would be an fantabulous choice to rehabilitate the DCEU ’s Superman in a potential subsequence toMan of Steel , whichVaughn himself latterly corroborate he ’s discussed with Warner Bros.
" I know no more than you about Matthew being involve with a Superman flick . To me , off the cuff , it vocalise like a really good idea . And I do retrieve it ’s the way that these things are evolving . You know , there was a time when superheroes had to be really dark … but I think that the form of thing that ’s pop nowadays is something that ’s a chip lighter in step , that ’s a bit more adventurous and a bit more colorful , and I think of matter for instance like , TheGuardians of the Galaxyor the newThormovie , or indeed , Kingsman . And , you know , I think that ’s the form of entertainment that Matthew very much understands . And I ’d be really intrigued to see his take on Superman . I ’m sure it would be really good for the reference . "
AKingsman - style romp would be quite the tonal shift for Henry Cavill ’s Superman , but with the DCEU seemingly in flux as Zack Snyder takes a step back and DC Films head word honcho Geoff Johns more fully assume creative control of the universe , it ’s sure as shooting not an unimaginable prospect .
