Three hundred Spartans hold a pass against an empire in 300, shot almost entirely against green screen with the blood rendered as ornament and the action dropping into slow motion at every kill. Speed ramping is the house style and it is applied to everything. The superhero films take the same reverence and point it at figures the comics treated as reassuring: Watchmen strips the costume of its glamour, Man of Steel levels a city to make the rescue cost something.
Signature
- Speed ramping: slow motion snapping to real time inside one movement.
- Desaturated, high-contrast grading and heavy digital environments.
- Mythic framing of the hero, often literally in silhouette.
- Comic panels reproduced as shot composition.
