Superman: Legacy writer/director James Gunn made an interesting comparison while addressing a concern about the cast getting too big.

making it clear that superheroes have existed in their DCU before The Man of Steel , the news shouldn't come as a surprise – in fact, now having heroes around when we know that they're out there would be even more troublesome. And yet, some folks are worried that having all of the characters in the film will take away from Clark/Superman & Lois's story.

Did you think Steve Carell got enough time?" Gunn wrote in response. Okay, a few things. First, he's right about having fewer fictional folks than the Carell classic. Second…? Again, it works, but… didn't see that one coming. I mean, there were a whole bunch of options to choose from. And now, I'm obsessed with knowing why Gunn went that route. Third, I'm glad he didn't go with Paul Thomas Anderson's 1997 film Boogie Night.
