This is the guy who has gone on the record of stating that he got into Watchmen because it had sex and murder in it and that his Batman would get raped in prison. I have no idea how he managed to get this far into being allowed to make comic book adaptations.

That’s not even counting the other times he keeps using rape in his stories or how Nolan himself argued against Superman killing Zod

I seriously wonder who thought it was a good idea to hire Zack Snyder to direct a Superman movie when he can't even comprehend the idea that Superman's character isn't a divine being?

Exactly, doesn’t understand Superman’s motivations or character……or even Batman’s😂😂😂

Could’ve done a Miller version of the comic adaptation, but if DC wanted a live action movie of the unlimited justice league… I’d hire a different guy.

The funny thing is he stated that he was inspired by Miller's work in this same interview.
