When asked how his Superman will differ from previous on screen versions, and what his vision of the character is, he replied:
“I can’t really talk about that without being kind of specific,” says Snyder. “But I can say I think Superman needs to be physical.”
He also had to say:
“My feeling about Superman is that I’ve been a fan of the character for a long time. But the question for me was always, ‘What can you do with Superman in a modern world?’ And I think the amazing thing that Chris and David have created, that I’m working on now, and the reason why I was like, ‘Yeah, I’ll do that,’ was that they found that in him. They found the why in him. That’s the exciting part for me.”
