Man of Steel Writer: “Not a Comic Book Superman”

In a new featurette available online via a Sears-related YouTube page, Man of Steel writer David S. Goyer says that “Our approach was not a comic book Superman; it was just do a more realistic Superman–a Superman that exists in a real world.”That, of course, is the Nolan approach in a nutshell and it’s one of the consistent themes that we’ve been hearing all throughout production, albeit generally without using “comic book” as the antithesis of the objective.The video, embedded below, features brief interviews with Snyder’s wife and co-producer Deborah Snyder, star Henry Cavill, Lois Lane actress Amy Adams and more. It also features some new footage and behind-the-scenes material dealing with Superman’s big battle with Faora, which apparently takes place at least partially at Sears.
