"Zack Snyder and the Man of Steel team have opened up about their approach to Superman. Screenwriter David Goyer told Empire that he doesn&amp;#039;t believe the past, idealistic versions with clingy spandex and primary colours would work with today&amp;#039;s audience.  Dark Knight&amp;#039;s Goyer said: &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re approaching Superman as if it weren&amp;#039;t a comic book movie, as if it were real. It just struck me that if Superman really existed in the world, first of all this story would be a story about contact. &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s an alien. You can easily imagine a scenario in which we&amp;#039;d be doing a film like E.T., as opposed to him running around in tights. If the world found out he existed, it would be the biggest thing that ever happened in human history.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;[Superman] is looking for his place in the world,&amp;quot; explained Deborah Snyder, who co-produced the film with her husband. &amp;quot;He is a little lost when we find him, trying to figure it out. That makes him very real. You can relate to the humanity in him.&amp;quot;  Director Snyder argued that by applying realism to the square-jaw superhero, it makes the entire concept more profound. However, he added: &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re not trying to take the super out of Superman.&amp;quot; Man of Steel, which stars Henry Cavill, Amy Adams and Russell Crowe, will debut in cinemas on June 14.
