Zack Snyder recently shared the most favorite superhero movie that he directed in his career so far, and his response might surprise you.
The filmmaker has made his mark in the comic book genre for many years through his work on the DCEU franchise which launched a new superhero universe that supposedly rivals the MCU.
While the films that he helmed have been divisive among fans and critics, his contributions to the genre are still being commended due to his ambitious vision that challenges the traditional notions of comic book storytelling.
Zack Snyder Reveals the Favorite Superhero Movie He Directed
In a recent interview, Snyder was asked which of the superhero movies he directed that he is the most proud of.
Surprisingly to some fans, the filmmaker responded with the 2009 film Watchmen as he believes that it is the "most satisfying" adaptation that he did.
"Well, weirdly, I kind of look at it in two ways. Like one I think, of course, Man of Steel, BvS, Justice League, is its own thing... I don't know necessarily, whether it's a comic book movie in the classic sense, for me," he said.
"But I can understand how people would say that because those are comic book characters and whatever, but, that's just based on ideas that I had about comic book characters."
Snyder continued, "I would have to say Watchmen, probably for me, just like the process of adaptation from comic book to movie design, all the things as we went from comic books to movie. I think Watchmen is like the cleanest, and kind of most satisfying, transition to adapted material."
This response might be surprising for fans since they would expect him to name a DCEU movie, especially Zack Snyder's Justice League which made it possible for him to fully realize his vision.
However, in the end, perhaps Watchmen gave him the best artistic experience where he can be truly proud of what he accomplished in comparison to the DCEU movies where there is allegedly more studio interference.
