"It's fun and it's cool, so that's all that matters. It's what comics are for, Duh."
Words to live by.
Man, and I thought Injustice was as bad as it could get for Batgod wanks that it’s creators and defenders try to pretend is love letter to DC characters.
Because that’s basically Snyder’s maturity level:
Straight from the man himself.You could call it "high-brow" comics, but to me, that comic book was just pretty sexy! I had a buddy who tried getting me into "normal" comic books, but I was all like, "No one is having sex or killing each other. This isn’t really doing it for me." I was a little broken, that way. So when Watchmen came along, I was, "This is more my scene."
Not even Timm went this far. This is Batwank on a whole ‘nother level.

If the man is into the darker aspects of the dcu that's what moves him.
He was perfect for watchmen and Batman but bad for superman imo
Going for the death of superman in the 2nd movie...no defense for that
Visually his Justice League looks way better than what we got from whedon
But he didn't understand Watchmen at all! The comic is a deconstruction of the classic superhero. You aren't supposed to look at Rorschach and Nite Owl and say "those guys are badass!". The book was about flawed, violent and damaged people. It didn't need the slow mo badass fight scenes and a glossy finish. With Rorschach, Moore was showing that there is a huge aspect of fascism and mental illness to these vigilantes. Rorschach is a deranged far right nut bar who sees the world in black and white. He hurts people based on his own skewed moral code. He's the worst aspects of a character like Batman.
Nite Owl is a sad impotent man who can only get excited by putting on a costume and bashing skulls. I can go on and on about Dr. Manhattan, The Comedian, etc. These characters aren't meant to have a cool soundtrack or be idolized. I'm sure there are countless rants about this movie so I'll end it here.
True.
But that goes along with WB always wanting to make Superman darker and edgy.
Zack would've killed off everyone who isnt Flash and Cyborg lol. Oh lord.
Supermans entire storyline revolves around Bruce saving his humanity. oh god.
Side bar but the plan also not specifying on which GL it is lowkey one of the funniest things about this.
The GLs dodged a bullet not being in the Snyderverse.

gods in heaven (which I mean Snyder's Justice League) I cannot believe the suits at WB thought this was a good idea.
I am so happy the DCEU crashed and burned hard because this is beyond horrendous; it's not even worth the schadenfreude because I actually love the DC heroes and to see this is beyond a train wreck.
Superman the worlds first modern superhero would have been reduced to this?
Batman would impregnate Lois?
What!?
I feel like this is fake, but knowing Snyder I doubt it
