April 27, 2013: David Goyer Answers Fan Questions about "Man of Steel"

Man of Steel In an "Ask Me Anything" session via Reddit.com, "Man of Steel" screenwriter David S. Goyer answered fan questions about his work, the upcoming movie, and which Superman comic books he was inspired by.

Here are a few snippets from the AMA Q&A...

    Does everyone involved with Man of Steel feel a lot of pressure because of all the hype surrounding it? Sure, there's a ton of pressure surrounding Man of Steel. WB has a lot riding on it - not just the Superman franchise, but the future of DC movies. More importantly, I think Zack, myself, Henry -- we just really want to give the fans the Superman film they deserve. The kind of Superman film I dreamed about making since I saw the first Donner film. I HOPE people like it as much as we do. Knock on wood.

    Was John Byrne's Krypton an influence on your approach? Getting that vibe from some imagery and interviews. Miller, Loeb, and Brubaker were pretty key influences on the Dark Knight trilogy. What runs/stories would say are similar touchstones for Man of Steel?

    Byrne's Krypton was definitely an influence, but not the only influence. Was also influenced by Alan Moore's stuff. All Star Superman. Geoff Johns' stuff. Even the old Curt Swan stuff.
