Q: So this is an original story but it takes elements from the previous two films, and the comics or no...?
Mike Dougherty: We'd kind of describe it as a pseudo-sequel in a way because Dan, myself and Bryan were so in love with what Donner did that it felt like a mistake to go back to go back and remake the origin story. Everyone knows the origin story. Donner did it perfectly, as far as we’re concerned. Then Smallville is doing it again and you don't want a third incarnation because I think that breeds confusion and also, let’s takes things further versus going back and doing it again.
Dan Harris: Yeah, and for us there was a visual language that was put onto film that we all believe and trust in, and there's a character basis in that language that we've used as our archetype and then we kind of built on top of that. As for taking elements from the books over the year, there've been so many incarnations of Superman, Superman's been around for so long, there have been so many different plotlines and so many kind of things that you might see something and say, "Oh, that's from issue 742 in 1983", but it probably didn't come from that. It's like how many times did Superman rescue a plane, how many times did certain things happen. Y'know, lots, in lots of different ways and its been repeated different times. It's just an amalgam of all different inspirations from that and moving on from the old movie and the old books.
Q: Will we have to see the first two films to understand this movie?
Harris: No.
Dougherty: It helps.
Harris: But it helps, yeah. I'd recommend seeing the first film absolutely to anybody to see this film.
Dougherty: We've summarised things pretty quickly and easily.
Harris: There's a very interesting way that the film unfolds in the first 20 minutes, we'd love to tell you but we can't. It's told in a different way that people wouldn't really expect.
