The thing about owls is that they do sort of have this facial disc, which is unlike any other bird. They kind of have a face, more than like a dog or a giraffe. They have this weird, alien face that you can actually make expressive.

I do like Superman as a character, and I have followed him throughout the years.

Character Follow Superman Throughout Years
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.

Groove Sparta Thinking
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.
ZACK SNYDER

Iconography Important People
I felt like, in the recent past, people have been apologizing for Superman, a little bit, for his costume, for his origins, and for the way he fits into society.

Littles Past People
It’s more like Christmas, you know, when you get a shot in that looks great and it’s exactly what you want. It’s a great feeling, and there’s nothing like it.
ZACK SNYDER

Feelings Looks Want
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.

Elephants Matter Rhinos
I heard one time that the Superman glyph is the second or third most recognizable symbol on Earth after the Christian cross.

Christian Crosses Earth
I mean, it’s weird because people lately have been coming up to me and going, ‘Oh, my God. ‘300’ is huge.’ I’m like, ‘Really? It’s not done yet!

Come Done Mean People Weird
The problem is, when you’re making an animated movie, the studio has an illusion in their minds – and it’s really not true – that because it’s a drawing, it can be changed at any time.
ZACK SNYDER

Drawing Mind Problem
Origin stories are really important to me. I just like that sort of stuff and I feel like it makes a lot of sense to the guys, who they are. If you don’t have that stuff, it’s kind of a one dimensional version of it.
ZACK SNYDER

Guy Important Stuff
I think that when you see the trailer [on movie “300”] – my feeling is anyway and maybe I’m not objective because I live it – but I think when you see it you immediately go, ‘Okay, this is another sort of way of doing this.’
ZACK SNYDER

Feelings Thinking Way
There’s very few dork movies made by dorks.
ZACK SNYDER

Dork Made Movie
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.
ZACK SNYDER

Believe Character Reality
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.

Government Missions Secret
For whatever reason I was always obsessed with the potential of humanity’s physicality. Especially since we grew up with such a non-physical philosophy.
ZACK SNYDER

Humanity Philosophy Reason
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.
