Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel deserves a lot of credit. The Christopher Reeve Superman movies had become such cultural icons for the character that the one time prior to Man of Steel that anybody tried to make a new Superman movie, they just tried to make a Christopher Reeve movie with different actors.

The funny part of that in Rick and Morty, Snyder has actually seen Gunn’s Superman, "Just saw your new cut of Superman. Word of advice, he’s the Man of Steel, not the Man of Conversation," said animated Snyder, adding, "do more shots of him punching!"

With The Authority being one of the most troubled DCU in-development films, might James Gunn step in to write and direct it himself?
