Man of Steel Trailers: 7 Reasons To Be Excited About Superman Again

2. Zack Synder€™s Comic Book Track Record

Let€™s write off Sucker Punch for the moment and remember, as we€™re reminded in the Man of Steel teaser campaign, that Snyder helmed two of the most stylish and well-received comic book adaptations in the genre with 300 and Watchmen. Both were acclaimed for their adherence to the source material and both were vigorously entertaining in their own right. So Sucker Punch suckered balls; all he proved with that is that his original concepts maybe aren€™t so great. As an adapter of comic books though, he€™s yet to put a major foot wrong. Let€™s hope to god that Man of Steel doesn€™t prove to be Snyder€™s first misstep; we might never see the character on the big screen again otherwise. However if Snyder€™s successful attempts at bringing Frank Miller and Alan Moore€™s work to life is any sort of gauge, we can hopefully rest easy knowing that the original superhero is in safe hands.
