With chilling sagas Batman, Swamp Thing and The Wake – how dark did Snyder make this Superman story?
“I really like stories where characters are challenged by their worst fears. Superman is facing someone new and it’s going to shake him.

Scott Snyder going back to Zero Year with Batman and launching the Man of Steel inot the future this week. Snyder and Jim Lee launching Superman Unchained this week.
Given Snyder’s track record with Batman and Swamp Thing how darker will this Superman book be? He’s what Snyder told Comic Book Resources:
“I really like stories where characters are challenged by their worst fears. Superman is facing someone new and it’s going to shake him. It’s not horror, and there’s humor between the characters, but it’s definitely about dealing with something that frightens him. This is basically the Superman story I would tell if I could only do one. It’s got the full cast and Lex Luthor, but also newpsychological elements that I don’t think people have really seen with Superman before.”
