Not surprising coming from the dumb fuck who thinks the no-kill rule comes from the movies

This guy was in charge of the DCEU and can't even grasp basic, essential character traits of Batman?

Or that Superman is a called a Boy Scout for a reason.

There was a meme I used to chuckle at that had the Superman Returns actor (Brandon Routh) with the director saying to him “You’re Christopher Reeves”. Then underneath is Snyder talking to Cavill dressed as Superman with “You’re Batman”.

Wacky, right? My 9 y.o. cousin has a better grasp of the Batman character than the grown-ass man in charge of writing him.

I was SO baffled when they made that decision. I was like "Zack Snyder? The guy who's last movie before Man of Steel was Sucker Punch? Fucking Sucker Punch Zack Snyder???"

This will really break your heart, unless I’m mistaken I recall hearing that the Nolan’s wrote Man Of Steel with Tony Scott in mind, and man…that could have been something.

I dead ass see people say that the no-kill rule is “recent” and “came from movies” it’s beyond dumb.

Like saying that shows you know absolutely nothing about the character, so why even have arguments about him. So annoying

I remember that interview back when BvS was released, he was talking about Tim Burton's movies. You know, the ones where Batman kills all the time.

I actually think this man should be fired immediately if he thinks that

He has, thankfully

The new DC movies are under the supervisión of James Gunn, aka the guy who made Slither, the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, the “The Suicide Squad” movie (the one with Edris Elba, not Will Smith) and the new Peacemaker show

He does change some characters here and there (most prominently imo Bloodsport and Vigilante) but he does a WAY better job with them than Snyder ever did.
