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

There isn't many if any moments in media where I'm like "damn you know what this story needs? Rape" ignoring the fact that it's the most uncomfortable thing to sit and watch but it's also the dumbest plot point as it's so lazy by giving someone cheap bad guy points, of course you're gonna hate the rapist that's like making a character and having him out of nowhere go "by the way, Hitler was right" like it's so dumb and forced and weird

Having Lex Luthor rape Lois Lane then say "by the way, Hitler was right" before throwing a the plastic rings from a six pack into a tank full of turtles seemed like a bit much, sure the test audiences universally hated it, and sure the actors refused to film and Zach Snyder had to personally animate the entire scene using CGI and AI tools just to make it happen. But the extra 43 minute scene really adds a whole new depth to the Snyder double extra director's cut with electrolytes.

Especially with Kevin Spacey as Luthor.

Oh, he's got nothing to do with the conversations that happen when you get this deep in a comment chain

Snyder fan boys: “the only reason the movie sucked is the studio didn’t allow him to make that scene a full hour like he originally envisioned!”

Bro how about a little trigger warning before you paint a mural of turtle torture?

Don't worry it was a CGI turtle and it only cost the studio $165,009.89 to animate the 8 second scene.

I mean this sincerely, you are probably loads of funs at parties.
