Zack Snyderhas talked about the new DCU – and he could be tempted back with one project in particular.
“I called him and said I wish all the best for him,” Snyder toldThe Hollywood Reporter. “I told him I wanted it to work.”
But, Snyder also revealed the project he would think about returning to DC to direct – an adaptation of The Dark Knight Returns that is a “true representation of the graphic novel.”
The Dark Knight Returns, penned by Frank Miller with art from Miller and Klaus Janson, sees a much older version of Bruce Wayne come out of retirement and, among other things, fight Superman. If that sounds familiar, it’s because it shares a lot of DNA with Snyder’s Dawn of Justice – in fact, one shot in the movie even recreates the iconic Dark Knight Returns cover.
For now, though, Snyder has his hands full over at Netflix with Rebel Moon. The epic sci-fi tale is coming in two parts, withextended director’s cuts to follow. Plus, the future looks very bright, withSnyder recently opening upto our sister publicationSFX magazineabout the road ahead.
Rebel Moon Part 1 arrives on Netflix this December 22, with a limited theatrical release from December 15. In the meantime, check out our guide to thebest Netflix moviesto stream now.
