Given the title of Zack Snyder's upcoming superhero movie "Batman v Superman," it's a safe bet that there will be some type of fight between the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel. According to Batman News, fight coordinator Guillermo Grispo recently spoke to Spanish site Los Andes Diaro about "Dawn of Justice" and dished on the epic battle between the two superheroes.
The interview was translated by Batman News. Grispo said that he couldn't say too much about the film but confirmed that Batman and Superman come face-to-face in the film.
"It's one of the most important sequences and I was actively involved in the design of the fight: the exchange of punches and the physical movement were put together with my partner Ryan Watson," he told Los Andes Diaro. "There's a thought that Batman has no chance, that the other [Superman] will squash him like a bug. But when you see the movie, and how it all comes out, there's a very intelligent explanation as to why they would have a firsthand confrontation though it seems to be totally to Batman's disadvantage."
Grispo also said that he had a lot of fun working on the fight sequence and said that Batman's experience with martial arts played a big part in the scene.
"Just imagine, it was like making dulce de leche (a similar thing to chocolate here in Argentina). Now Batman is going to fight the way I've always dreamed seeing him fight... he's a character so prepared in martial arts that you can do a lot of things with him, but filmmakers usually don't go all the way with it," he said. "Even in the last Nolan movies the action scenes aren't very good from a technical, martial arts point of view to things like choreography, filming, bad camera movements...
"But hey, don't get me wrong, Nolan is great, my hats off to him," Grispo added. "He makes fascinating stories, but I think that he did not pay too much attention to the fights. Those are the kind of details that Zack, being so physical himself, loves preparing. I think there's going to be a big difference when you see these Batman fights in comparison to the previous ones."
