Darren Aronofsky Wants To Direct A Superman Movie

Aronofsky's Superhero Movie
Aronofsky also addressed how he would approach a superhero property, if he got the chance to direct it.
"Well I would always hope to do something unique." Aronofsky added. "That's kind of my goal. I think with those films, you have to be very careful, because they are about communicating with as big of an audience as you possibly can. Audiences who goes to see those films expect a certain type of movie. But I guess a lot of the great superhero titles are done, people have used them up. So now it's kinda characters that aren't as interesting. But you never know. We'll see what comes my way."
Aronofsky came pretty close to that opportunity back in 2002, with his adaptation of Batman: Year One. The defunct project, which would have potentially starred Joaquin Phoenix, was essentially ahead of its time, according to the director.
"I think we were ahead of our time." Aronofsky explained earlier this year. "I was always like; 'Why can't we make a more lower-budget rated-R [movie]?' Just like in comics, you have different brands. And now they're finally doing that. They're doing the spinoffs, which is great. This is an exciting time because they'll be able to take more risks and we won't be seeing the same superhero movie over and over again."
