Zack Snyder's profane tirade on why his Batman kills

By Colin Stevens

Director Zack Snyder explained why Batman killed people in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice through a secular speech.

According to CBR, this occurred during a three-day charity screening of Dawn of the Dead, Watchmen and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Ultimate Edition. During the Watchmen Q & A panel, a video of which can be found on Reddit, Snyder has complained to fans that Batman was murdering people in his movie, saying, "Someone tells me: Batman killed a guy. I'm like, 'F ** k, really? Wake up.

Snyder went on to refer to Watchmen and his more accomplished story, stating, "Once you've lost your virginity with this movie f ** king and then come and tell me something like" my superhero would not do not that. "I'm like" Are you serious? I'm like on the King's Road about it. It's a good point of view to be like "My heroes are still innocent." My heroes did not f ** king lie in America. </ P> <p> My heroes did not turn away from him. Their heroes have not committed any atrocities. "It's cool, but you live in a f ** king dream world."

In the end, he compared his treatment of superhero movies to that of Watchman writer, Alan Moore, with comics, saying, "I love Superman and Batman more than anything, but in the same way that Alan Moore was fed up with f ** king. " agree, no: [super heroes] do this' … Watchmen talked about comics in the same way that this movie talks about comic books. "

Throughout the BvS, Batman has killed about 21 people while, traditionally, Batman refuses to kill even his most dangerous enemies.

In our review of Batman v Superman, we described the film as "agreeing": "BvS is carried by a brutal Batfleck, but overall it offers more philosophical drama than super-escape. hero".
