Excerpt from an Interview with Snyder:
Was that to draw an intentional contrast with what Marvel is doing in its movies?
I knew it before “BvS,” when we made “Man of Steel.” Marvel is doing something else. They’re doing, at the highest level, this popular action-comedy with a heart. And they have that nailed. An effort to duplicate that is insanity because they’re so good at it. What DC had was mythology at an epic level, and we were going to take them on this amazing journey. Frankly, I was the only one saying that.
The release of your “Justice League” brings back some painful memories, but aren’t you savoring it a bit, too?
Only in the sense that it’s three years later, and here I am releasing a four-hour version of the movie. It really shows that the consumer is not wrong in a lot of ways. “They can’t handle anything over two hours, they’re going to lose their minds.” They were underestimated, the audience themselves.
Is it possible that the zeitgeist just didn’t embrace your interpretation of these characters?
It could be. And that’s fine, too. I don’t have a dog in the hunt. When I made “Watchmen,” it’s deconstructionist. It’s a movie that pokes holes in your heroes. And “BvS” is the same thing. It’s meant to say, Oh, Batman’s drunk and taking painkillers and he’s sleeping with some anonymous girl. He’s a broken person. He dresses up as a bat and he goes out at night and he beats people up. He has issues. I do think the movie came along at a point where everyone was like, oh, we don’t want that Batman. We want Batman to be the warrior-monk who’s cool. And I personally am fine with that.
When you see what Marvel is doing in its movies, do you ever think, I should be doing more of that?
No, not at all. I don’t know how to hit a ball any different than I hit it. A director has one skill — your point of view. That’s all you have. If you’re trying to imitate another way of making a movie, then you’re on a slippery slope.

Has anybody noticed that the graphic includes Teen Titans Go, Batwheels and Gotham Superhero High but no Young Justice? Is the show getting the axe?

I really hope Black Adam is successful and have a great Hawkman so we can have him on a tv show. Hamada said he was looking a every movie for possible tv spin offs and I just can't think of anything better than a Hawkman, it could be Indiana Jones meet Assassins Creed.

Why is there "Suicide Squad" and "The Suicide Squad"? The latter is obviously the James Gunn movie, what's the former supposed to be about? The "Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League" video game?

Hopefully Zatanna will happen!
I loved her 16-issue run from the early 2010s.
