I saw an interview with Zack Snyder yesterday in which he said he was a fan, and he was trying to live up to his own standards for it. He said he thought he mostly succeeded, though failed in some places. It's clear he had very high standards, and didn't quite meet the mark, but because his standards were high, the movie is excellent and its flaws irrelevant. He really knew what he was doing - which is incredible in itself.
Of course, Dave Gibbons and Alan Moore pointed the way.
It's like Peter Jackson faced with The Lord of the Rings - knowing the fans are passionate abdou it, know the material well, and will want it to be good enough.
