James Gunn has no intention of letting his heroes grow up in a grimdark world as his details on the next Superman story proves DC is in safe hands.

Back in February, James Gunn got some big reactions from the internet with a post on social media featuring him hanging out with Zack Snyder, and more recently, the two filmmakers joined forces for cameos in an episode of Rick And Morty that had them playing versions of themselves.

It might be a minefield we're stepping into, but it's time to look at the evidence and make the case for and against Superman directors Zack Snyder and James Gunn in the great debate of our Super-times.

Both Zack Snyder and James Gunn imagine Superman getting arrested, but they take a very different approach to the scene.

The funny part of that in Rick and Morty, Snyder has actually seen Gunn’s Superman, "Just saw your new cut of Superman. Word of advice, he’s the Man of Steel, not the Man of Conversation," said animated Snyder, adding, "do more shots of him punching!"

Man of Steel prompted a lot of incensed and opinionated responses when it premiered, but none of Snyder’s choices in the film drew as much ire as the decision to have Superman kill Michael Shannon’s General Zod during their Metropolis-destroying battle.

James Gunn's Superman gets a makeover as a fan-made trailer imagines what the film would look like with Zack Snyder's style.

DC Comics is getting a new franchise with James Gunn's DC Universe, which has officially kicked off with Superman. However, before the new franchise, it was Zack Snyder's time to shine. In 2013, Snyder was at the helm of another film that rebooted the universe: Man of Steel.
