With a new trailer seemingly imminent, Zack Snyder has been talking some more about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, stating that Frank Miller's The Dark Knight will indeed be an influence (as if we didn't know that anyway, considering Snyder has said this in the past! DOH!)
The director said "There are so many great artists who have drawn Batman. So many great comics that have been created -- it's countless. I was talking to Frank about it: "Dark Knight Returns" was such a big influence on me, that I wanted to to honor him through imagery in the movie. You could still make "Dark Knight Returns" into a movie, if you want. That's what I'm saying, as far as how much we used and how much we didn't use. The visual elements, there are some that I homage, but I don't think the movie [is an adaptation].
