I enjoy his style. I didn't think Man of Steel was good or bad, but I just really don't care about Superman at all, so the problems people seem to have with it as far as being against character and stuff, doesn't really bother me.

I like Watchmen and think he did about as good as you can adapting that into a movie. And personally I think the idea of blaming Dr. Manhattan for the attacks was a way better story angle than the squid in the comic. I always thought that the alien thing came waaay out of left field in the book.

300 is awesome. Its exactly what it should be.

Anyways the "faith" comes from listening to him in interviews and hearing what he really wanted the whole DC Universe to be really does seem to mesh with what most of us fans of the material wanted too, and it was WB overreacting to Avengers success and trying to rush their overarching story that resulted in (most of) the things we hate about those movies.

Also he went through something truly tragic, so I guess I just root for this to be a good thing for him.
