Filmmaker Zack Snyder says Superman and Batman are more mythological superheroes unlike Ant-Man which is "flavour of the week."
Snyder, 49, who is currently working on "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" addressed filmmaker Steven Spielberg's comments that the superhero genre ultimately will go the way of the Western, reported Entertainment Weekly.
"I feel like he's right. But I feel like "Batman" and "Superman" are transcendent of superhero movies in a way, because they're Batman and Superman.
"They're not just, like, the flavor of the week Ant-Man - not to be mean, but whatever it is. What is the next, 'Blank-Man'?"
Snyder said he considers both, Superman and Batman to be the "most" mythological superheroes.
"I look at it as more being mythological than, say, bubblegum. And I think that that's appropriate for Batman and Superman because they're the most mythological of our superheroes," he said.
"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", stars Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Jesse Eisenberg among others.
The movie is scheduled to release on March 25, 2016.
