A bigger problem with Ratner is he knows jack shit about the material. He just wants to see his name on a big project like X-Men (or Superman before it).
When he was attached to Superman, he told LatinoReview that "Kids today don't know those movies; they were done 20 years ago. 10-year-old kids know SUPERMAN, but they don't know the mythology."
Except he didn't know anything about the Superman mythology because the disaster that was the
JJ Abrams script he was going to direct had Kal-El and Lex Luthor being Kryptonian cousins, Krypton DOES NOT explode, the Superman suit is organic and it comes from a can, baby Clark beats up a rapist as he's raping Ma Kent, and Lex Luthor and Superman have a mid-air kung fu battle right out of The Matrix. Ratner called the script "Fucking awesome" in the interview.
