Man, I am getting pretty tired of all the Zack Snyder bashing in other movie forums & blogs. I hope I’m not the only one who has a 100% faith in him and Christopher Nolan for the Superman reboot. I think Zack Snyder is the man for the job for a lot of reasons.

A lot of people don’t like Zack because they think he is a terrible director. Well I think he’s a fine director with a gift. I absolutely loved, “Watchmen”, “300”, and “Legends of the Guardians”. I still haven’t seen “Sucker Punch” yet, his latest released film but I plan to see it soon.

Here are ten reasons why I think he’s a perfect director for the Superman film and no one else could do it…

1. Zack is a huge Superman fanatic like most of us – I can tell too. From all the behind the scenes pics I’ve been seeing of this movie, he definitely knows his shit and definitely knows what he’s doing.
2. Zack stays pretty faithful to the comics – When he did “Watchmen” and “300”, they were very close to the graphic novels. I think he’ll stay true to the “Superman” franchise and so far, he’s doing just that.
3. Zack’s films are action packed, which is what Superman needs – I bet Warner Bros. looked at “Watchmen ” and “300”, they thought to themselves, “This is what Superman needs”. Zack is a good action movie director. Superman needed to be a fun action movie
4. Zack is good with visual and special effects – If you’ve seen “Watchmen” and “300”, he’s got a unique style when it comes with special effects. When he does his films, you know it’s his work immediately.
5. “Watchmen” and “300” were both very successful films – Both of these films were pretty big, box office money makers. Warner Bros. are hoping that “Man of Steel” will be a hit too, and they needed a director who had experience with box office hits. Zack is the man for this.
6. Zack is good with “slo-motion” effects – This is one reason why a lot of people hate Zack Snyder as a director, he does the “Slo-motion” technique way too much. Well? I believe that if his slo-mo technique grabbed people’s attention, he’s doing something right. There are so many other directors who do the slo-mo technique as well but nobody complains. Only when it comes to Snyder, he gets bashed for the slo-mo. The slo-mo technique is exactly what Superman needs. The slo-mo when Superman’s flying in the air would look great if done by Snyder.
7. Zack is good at working with characters – All of his movies are very character driven. He doesn’t take random characters and just do whatever he wanted with him. He just had to follow them with a complex  storyline, like “Watchmen” for example. His characters in his films are pretty insightful and anybody can recognize them.
8. Zack’s work can be different and original – He can do things differently that no one else could do. He’s doing exactly that with “Man of Steel”. Making changes with the characters and changing Superman’s costume. He’s doing a nice job staying away from the Christopher Reeve/Richard Donner style Superman.
9. Zack is a fast worker – This is one of the reasons he was hired, because he gets things done quickly. As you can see, from all the Behind the Scenes pics posted on the web so far, you can see he’s working very fast. Working on one scene to the next. His work ethic must of impressed Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros., so they gave him the nod.
10. Zack knows what the fans want – We all wanted a dark, edgy, action packed Superman movie. Look like we’re going to get exactly that.

Finally, here’s a close up shot of Henry Cavill in the Superman costume, but without the cape. Look like Superman still has the yellow belt but they made it smaller. I don’t think Henry is buffed and muscled up like that, I think the muscles is part of the costume design.
