The challenge with ‘Watchmen’ is making sure that the ideas that were in the book got into the movie. That was my biggest stretch. I wanted people to watch the movie and get it. It’s one of those things where, over time, it has happened more.

People have a very proprietary relationship with Superman. It’s important to respect the iconography and the canon, but at the same time, you have to tell a story.

Also I’ve got to say in the movie [“300”] Gorgo, who is the Queen, she has also a part that is – I think – I don’t want to say, ‘Oh look, it’s multi-quadrant,’ and all this. I believe that it is because I think my dad can see this movie and go, ‘F**k yeah!

I aim my movies, as much as I can, at myself. I think that those movies have an interesting quality. They’re very movieish. They are movie movies. Like I think Watchmen is a very self-aware movie. 300. Dawn of the Dead definitely. That’s really where I’ve ended up.

I believe that pop culture is just, like, so ready for ‘Watchmen.’ We tried so hard to ride that wave between satire and reality, and all the things that make you still care about the character, but you don’t miss the commentary about them.

Our plans for ‘Superman?’ I can’t say. This is the most super secret thing ever. It’s like working for the government, like I’m on a covert mission.

We’ve tried as hard as we can into keep the ideas intact in the hail storm that is Hollywood, so, whether he is or not, I’m personally proud of what I’ve been able to jam down their throats.

I’m interested in animation. I actually feel like I’ve learned so much about the process how to make an animated movie.

Probably the hardest thing to do was the beginning of the movie [“300”], I think, when we were in Sparta and all that – just getting in the groove.

My mom always encouraged me, it was never weird. She’d look at ‘Heavy Metal’ and go ‘Woo-hoo!’

I imagine the film [“300”] as if I was a Spartan and I had never seen an immortal or a Persian, or an elephant or a rhino for that matter.

I always say, I’m certain I changed ‘Watchmen’ less than the Coen brothers changed ‘No Country for Old Men.’ I’m certain of it. But you don’t hear the Cormac McCarthy fans, like, up in arms about it. They should be. It’s like an amazing Pulitzer Prize-winning book.
