Zack Snyder Reveals Which of His Comic Book Movies He's the Most Proud Of

As a gamer who has spent countless hours immersed in both comic book universes and Norse mythology, I can wholeheartedly say that Zack Snyder‘s adaptation of Watchmen stands out as one of the most satisfying and well-executed transitions from page to screen.


Zack Snyder’s new production, titled “Twilight of the Gods,” recently premiered on Netflix, offering a thrilling adventure rooted in Norse mythology. Unlike his previous works, which were based on comic books, this project strays from those familiar realms. However, his earlier comic book films will always hold a special place in his heart. In a recent conversation with ComicBook, Snyder was queried about the comic book movie he’s most proud of, and it turns out that “Watchmen” holds that distinguished position.

The Most Satisfying Adaptation

In a somewhat unique perspective, Zack Snyder sees the films Man of Steel, BvS, Justice League as having their own identity while not necessarily fitting the traditional mold of a comic book movie. However, others might argue that they are due to featuring comic book characters. This viewpoint is rooted in his personal interpretation of comic book characters. On the other hand, when it comes to adaptation from comic books to movies, Snyder considers Watchmen as the most effective and fulfilling example.

Nolan Seal of Approval

In 2009, Zack Snyder’s adaptation of Watchmen, one of DC’s properties, hit the big screen, marking Snyder’s second attempt at bringing a DC comic to life on the silver screen. His debut was with 300, which turned out to be a blockbuster, but Watchmen didn’t match the financial success of 300. However, it introduced a new legion of fans to the timeless tale and universe of the Alan Moore classic.

Snyder delves into the realm of Norse Mythology through Twilight of the Gods, a series now available for you to join on Netflix.
