10 Ways Batman v Superman Can Live Up To The Hype

4. It Can Have One Of The Best Comic Book Movie Scripts

When Academy Award-winning scribe Chris Terrio paired up with visual master Zack Snyder, there was a feeling that this combination could give us the best of both worlds – a visually hypnotic film with an intense and thought-provoking script.

This script can surprise audiences by using a hyper-realistic approach to provide an engaging and thematic story. By placing these godlike heroes in a world that resembles the real one, it can examine the impact that these beings would have on humanity. 

This is a perspective that's never been fully explored, and Warner Bros. is smart to take advantage of it in their effort to create a unique brand. This seems to be the DC Cinematic Universe done in the vein of Watchmen, and that's a very intriguing prospect. 

Toss in influences from The Dark Knight Returns, possibly Injustice and Kingdom Come, and you're looking at a movie that could potentially have a really great story.

Ultimately, it's not a page-for-page adaptation of any one comic book, but it can certainly have a potent blend of influences.
