Sam Raimi[edit]

  • "I loved Superman II. I thought Richard Donner and Richard Lester both did a great job." [1]

Kevin Feige[edit]

  • "Richard Donner’s Superman I still think is the paradigm by which we all still should follow. It's all there." [2]

Christopher Nolan[edit]

  • "one of the great films that I am very influenced by that we haven’t talked about was Dick Donner’s Superman — 1978"
  • "What I loved about Superman was the way New York felt like New York, or rather Metropolis felt like New York. Metropolis felt like a city you could recognize — and then there was this guy flying through the streets"
  • "That’s amazing, so let’s do that for Batman, and let’s start by putting together an amazing cast," which is what they had done with that film but which I hadn’t seen done since — they had everybody from [Marlon Brando] to Glenn Ford, playing Superman's dad, you know, it was an incredible cast. So we started putting together this amazing cast based around Christian [Bale], who seemed perfect for Batman, but bringing him Sir Michael Caine and Gary Oldman and Morgan Freeman and Tom Wilkinson." [3]
