From cinemablend, Speaking with the Los Angeles Times, the director revealed his plan when it comes to approaching the material: "Respect the canon but don’t be a slave to the movies." Basically calling it a true reboot, the director likened the project to Batman Begins, which respected the character's origins, but "pre-supposes that there haven’t been any other movies." Commenting on Singer's decision back in 2006, Snyder was sure to point out that his version of the character won't fall to the same issues, instead calling him "a physical cat."
The director also commented on the working relationship with Christopher Nolan, who is serving as a producer on the film and has been deemed the "Godfather" of the production. Without further details, it's been difficult to determine exactly how much Nolan is involved with the process, but quotes from Snyder seem to suggest that he is very much involved in the pre-production.
