Batman v Superman Are there too many superhero films and TV shows at the moment?

    "I think like any genre, the movies have to be good and you have to keep the audience engaged. One of the things that we're doing when we're bringing together the DC Justice League Universe is we're creating not only stories that work for the individual film but they have some resonance to the other films that we're doing. And I'm hoping that what's also gonna keep the interest very keen is we're telling hopefully compelling stories. I mean, one of the great things about dealing with superheroes in general, at least from our standpoint, is they're both inspirational and aspirational characters, so you're hoping that the audience is gonna want to be like some of them but you're also hoping that the audience can relate to some of them, that if we make their stories compelling and relatable, interesting and emotional, that you're going to really want to spend more time with them. So you talk about Man of Steel and I felt that Clark's relationship with both of his fathers was pretty emotional and you can relate, certainly people who lost a loved one can relate, and we all have at some point in our lives lost loved ones. So I think even with Batman v Superman we wanna have characters that touch us, and if we can continue to make films like that, the I think they're sort of 'genre proof'".

On "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice".

    "You will definitely understand when you see the movie why we call it Batman v Superman... I'm excited to have people see it. I think it's really a wonderful film. I think Zack [Snyder]'s done an amazing job, all of the actors who are in it, we were so lucky. Just think about the cast that we have, from Ben [Affleck] to Henry Cavill, to Amy [Adams] to Jesse [Eisenberg] to Jeremy [Irons] to Larry [Lawrence] Fishburne. Just amazing, and they all really bring it. Really great. Very happy."

When will we see a new "Batman v Superman" trailer?

    "Honestly, you're going be seeing something very soon... I don't know how you define soon but certainly before the end of the year, how about that?"
