In recent weeks, Mad Max creator and director George Miller has been linked with Man of Steel 2 , and while he didn't confirm anything to IGN, he did share with us his take on Superman and how he would've brought the character to life in the ill-fated Justice League movie he was working on back in 2009. (You can watch what Miller had to say in the video above, too.)

“ You really have to find his demons really to get an internal conflict going

“ They were going to be C.G., but again you’re working your butt off to make it not look like C.G.

“I think it’s been said many times before: he’s potentially a very boring character because he has no faults," Miller told IGN. "So you really have to find his demons really to get an internal conflict going. You’ve really got to do that. Whether that’s by an external agency or something deep inside himself. You need that conflicted character.Miller was all set to direct a Justice League movie for Warner Bros. back in 2009, but when the Australian government refused to issue a rebate for filming in the country and using a largely Australian crew, production halted and was eventually cancelled. Even more frustratingly, pre-production had been completed and Miller had cast the principal roles, with actor D.J. Cotrana landing the role of Superman. A documentary about the movie and its production is currently being made.Miller's latest film, Mad Max: Fury Road, has received widespread acclaim for its use of practical effects – real cars, real desert, real crashes – so how would the Australian director tackle Superman's fantastic powers?Ralston worked on the original Star Wars trilogy, Back to the Future, and more recently on movies including Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland.Despite his obvious interest in the character, Miller still wouldn't be drawn on the possibility of directing Man of Steel 2 when we asked, but admits the idea is tempting:“I’ll basically say no. Sorry again, not trying to be coy about it. You have so many things lined up. You just don’t know which one’s going to break [...] the next film I want to do won’t be a Mad Max film. It’ll be a small film. I just want to get away from big action films for a while. But I just can’t help myself. I like to do things which are technically not challenging but technically interesting."
