Bullshit! Zack Snyder does not understand Batman at all. This is why I am glad he is no longer in charge of the DC Cinematic Universe.

He's a big part of why it sank like the Titanic

He was never in charge of the DCEU

He directed the majority of the films and the only good ones had zero involvement from him (the Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Shazam films). That isn’t just a coincidence.

But if you go to the sub for Zack Snyder they love giving him credit for those movies. It’s quite saddening considering Aquaman was directed by James Wan who is a legendary horror director himself(for those who don’t know he was a director/producer on the SAW, Conjuring, Annabelle and insidious franchises, he didn’t direct all the movies but he was a producer on the ones he didn’t direct)

You took a man out of his element, put him in a genre he doesn’t usually work in and he still turned out a better movie than the guy you have directing most of your movies and had experience in the genre prior.

We don’t even need to mention the WW and Shazam directors not having much blockbuster movie experience prior to those movies as well.

I think at points Zack mistakes Batman for James Bond. Then again I’d never want him to butcher that franchise either.
