June 16, 2013: David Goyer on Marvel vs. DC Movies

Man of Steel Bleeding Cool continues a series of interviews with David Goyer with a story today about the differences in universes between Marvel movies and DC movies, calling the DC Universe more realistic, and Marvel more fantastic:

    I love the Marvel films and they definitely have a certain tonality and continuity but the way Chris, Zack and I have evolved our take... now, the DC characters are older than the Marvel characters and ironically, the Marvel characters were created in the 60s and originally they were meant to be more realistic, and more relatable. The thing that Stan Lee and [Jack] Kirby and [Steve] Ditko did, all these characters were people that you could identify with, that had human problems.

    Now, with the Batman films and the Superman films, the DC films that are being made, seem to exist in a more realistic world than the Marvel films. They've flipped. Moving forward, if Zack and I are to do any more films, we'll probably continue in this manner, it's just the way we work. And I try to make my dialogue as naturalistic as you can make an alien from another world. This seems to have been successful with Batman, and it's a higher hurdle to jump over with Superman but I think we've been fairly successful in what we did.
