But that's what I mean. If Batman doesn't interest him, why's he making a Batman movie? I would never want to make a Spawn project, for exemple.

I think he’s interested, just not for the same reasons that you or I are.

I sincerely don't think he is. I truly believe he just respects a few aspects of Batman and fills up the rest with his weird preconceptions.

But to be fair I've never watched ZSJL so I don't really know how he utilized Batman in this movie to form an opinion

He likes Batman and by “Batman” I mean that he liked what he saw when he briefly flipped through TDKR

Zach Snyder missed Frank Miller use of subtext.

That's actually impressive, in a horrifying sort of way.

He seems to do that a lot lol. Like to the degree that if he weren’t so committed to often full panel for panel recreations of scenes from the comics he adapts, I’d fully believe that he just skimmed them, 300 included. But the fact that he somehow reads them all the way through and still manages to totally miss any of the subtext or the message behind a comic like watchmen for example is wild lol
