GG: As an artist, what does "Superman" give you to explore that other comic books, “Watchmen” in particular, which was such a superhero deconstruction, don’t?ZS: I do love superhero movies and the genre and “Watchmen” is not a love affair movie, you know? Which is fine, I have no problem with that. When you intellectualize it, it makes sense. But it does give you a chance to sort of re-fall in love with the world and I guess that’s the thing that I'm into.DS: He’s also transcendent of a comic book hero. It’s funny because right after we signed on we were in Europe doing some press for “Guardians” and just walking around the streets and seeing t-shirts, whether we were in Italy or London and that big “S” shield is everywhere. It's hit pop culture in a way that’s larger than just being a comic book hero. It’s all over the place.ZS: Didn’t they say about the Superman logo is the most recognizable symbol in the world? That’s crazy. Make a movie about that! (Laughs.)
