You're going to have to make your own decisions. Movies now ask who it is you're rooting for. What we were very conscious of throughout was to make a movie about bad people and never try to apologize or qualify or justify what it was they do for a living. Also, villains are always much more interesting than the good guys. They're just more real.
Good guys are bullshit.
The fact that Superman has angst is really irritating, really annoying. There's absolutely nothing that he'd have to be concerned with. People all over the world have much bigger problems. I tried to make a cop movie, from the cop's point of view. I tried to write the script.
