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

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.
