In an interview with the podcast The Beard and The Bald Movie Podcast, Frank Miller mentioned that it is nice that filmmakers such as Zack Snyder take inspiration from his works like The Dark Knight Returns.
“I really have to say on that, it’s been a few years since this all started, okay? And at first, my reaction was to be very territorial and all that … Now I have sat down a little bit and with a much deeper breath and a longer view of everything and all I can say is: this is great”.
Miller had no idea that Zack Snyder, with whom he worked on the making of the 300 film, was taking various references from The Dark Knight Returns for films like Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, and Zack Snyder’s: Justice League.
“I came up with the idea for The Dark Knight Returns and that was basically the big buzz I made, which kicked off my entire career. And since then I have seen the two fields collaborate back and forth. I benefited enormously from Dark Knight Returns and they have too have and continue to do so. And it can only be seen as a healthy relationship”.
Will we see in the future in live action The Dark Knight Returns?
In previous months, Zack Snyder agreed that he hopes to make the live-action adaptation of The Dark Knight Returns in the future, including with a new cast and in a separate DCEU film.
“It would be my own thing… I would do it 100% Watchmen style… I don’t even think it’s that expensive, to be honest. Is quite brave”.
Snyder managed to bring some important moments from The Dark Knight Returns into the Batman v Superman story, such as the armor that the Dark Knight wore to face Superman, plus some shots that emulate vignettes from the 1986 comic.
