Watched "Three Thousand Years of Longing"- directed by George Miller. It was fine - (although tonally a little odd as it was fairy tale/horror/love story but then again, it is his style) - but with Miller's perfectionism, I don't put too much stock in the script for the JLA knowing Miller's amazing track record as a director.... but it made me think again for a bit - if Miller had done Superman - how would it have looked in any time frame?
He knew how to expand a buck creatively with the mAd Max series and has a vast imagination- I wonder how his Krypton would have looked, but moreso how his Superman would have come across. He does have a tone that bends slightly towards the horrific side but also has real emotional cores to his films... and his films are ambitious- but not pretentious because he earns the emotions in his films.
Any thoughts on Miller with Superman revisited?
Also: Miller did do the reboot of Donner's acclaimed Twighlight Zone episode in the movie- to acclaim. He did a great job.

I did question some of his casting for his JLA movie but I have no doubt it would have been better than anything Zack Snyder gave us when it comes to DC film adaptations. I'm not sure Miller was right for this movie but he's a great filmmaker. Great visual storyteller. Great action director. Compare his early low budget efforts to Snyders and its night and day. Miller created a new type of action movie and cinematic world with Mad Max. The best Snyder could do was ape another George's masterpiece and "bro" it up to fit his own style. Fury Road was better than it had any right to be considering all the behind the scenes problems, struggles, and delays during its long development. Not sure what Millers Krypton. would have looked like but we do get a good sense of what his Themyscira and Atlantis would have looked like based on costume test photos and concept art. They looked like they could have been impressive. With his Twilight Zone movie segment he showed he could follow Donner, honor Serling, and make the story his own with his own unique style and execution. That's the kind of talent we needed working on DC films. Maybe not Justice League or Superman but something.
