Batman wasn't a villain, he was just a misguided antagonist up until the third act.
Batman wasn't a villain, he was just a misguided antagonist up until the third act.
He's branding and killing people in the name of justice, he's suffered like hell and has an extremely self centered worldview and paranoia that is exacerbated by the arrival of Superman. Lex may have been the one pulling the strings but up until the Martha scene, Bruce is the villain and only portrayed as villainous aside from the opening scene in Metropolis.
It's the description of Russel's mini. It's used as placeholder synopsis.
Wonder Twins was originally described as part of the DCEU in the DC site: https://www.dccomics.com/blog/2022/0...ing-to-hbo-max
Oh, don't get me wrong, I didn't care for how Snyder handled/characterized Batman at all (he never would have tried to execute a sentient being) but even with the excessive portrayal I don't think he was an out-and-out villain or meant to be. And if that was Snyder's intention it didn't really come off that way.
He’s still killing people with guns in ZSJL…
I don’t remember Zayna being street smart, what an odd description.
It clearly was not considering Batman does not face any repercussions for attempting to murder Superman. Gordon is all buddy-buddy with him in ZSJL so Snyder clearly doesn’t think Bruce’s actions up to attempting to murder Supes was all that bad.

idk, it's the official description of the book everywhere though: https://www.amazon.com/Wonder-Twins-.../dp/B07P68G3DL
Thank you. I'm glad you said all this.
The Snyder Cut wouldn't even exist if Zazlav was in charge. That dude is all about safe movies for theaters and is cutting all the straight to HBO Max films right now trying to save money. The idea that he'd be some big pusher of the Snyder Cut is pure copium
I'm also with you when it comes to Snyder's mass appeal. BvS would have been an easy billion dollar film if it was received well by the public but the box office tanked due to terrible WoM after the opening weekend and as said, there's nothing that suggests ZSJL was a monster hit that makes it worth building around again.
The reality is that if Snyder was guaranteed money, he'd be back. Hollywood only cares about money at the end of the day.
I mean, ZSJL was incredibly successful. You're not acknowledging that he probably just doesn't want to come back. The film is out and he has washed his hands of it. For some reason it doesn't fit people's narratives that Zack isn't desperate to make DC movies again despite massive success, but it's the truth
also, the Snyder Cut has existed since 2017...

I'm still not comfortable having a character who wiped out an entire country being a "hero" in his own movie. That said, I'll never be comfortable with a statutory rapist like Deathstroke being as popular as he is, either.
Keep in mind that you have about as much chance of changing my mind as I do of changing yours.
