Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will probably be the most talked about comic book movie for quite some time and not for good reasons. Whether you like the Ultimate Cut of the film or not, the theatrical version was what Warner Bros. chose to use, and it will be the version everyone will look back upon. Now that we're just days away from the premiere of Suicide Squad, the film that is set to place the DC Film Universe on the right path, director David Ayer spoke to JoBlo about the pressure that comes with the film, Geoff Johns, and his thoughts on Batman v Superman.

"I think the pressure is always to make a good movie, and in this day and age you have to expect the pressure," said Ayer before talking about what it's been like since he joined the DC Film Universe. "We kind of started out as the cool little brother, and now there's definitely a lot of scrutiny, but they're doing amazing things over there. Geoff Johns really has a handle on where this universe is going. A lot of talented directors, it's going to be a beautiful thing. I'm pretty confident, and I'm proud to be one of the ships in this big fleet that's coming at the world." Of course, most of that pressure comes from Suicide Squad having to follow Batman v Superman.

When asked about what he thought about Batman v Superman, Ayer had this to say: "I liked it a lot. I love Zack; he is probably the biggest fan of DC Comics. He has an incredible passion in a very specific way, a specific take on it. He's a smart guy, and I think he heard everybody, he heard them loud and clear, and you grow and you evolve. I thought it was a stunning movie, absolutely stunning. I wish I could get some of those shots in the can. The guy's an amazing visualist."

DC can't help but be iconic, is just in their nature, no one stopping the hype train now, 96RT, 89-90 metacritic, final box office, 900 million to early billions, yeah and it is going to be a new cultural phenomenon.

@BE4ST - when you say DC, you mean suicide squad, which shouldn't represent DC as a whole, which it doesn't anyway. not saying that ass some marvel fanboy or whatever people wanna call me. the only things you should care about are what you thought of the film, how much money it made and how much the audience liked it. the last two are there because that's how big budget sequels get made, need to make bank, and need to have audience approval.

@JustAChillFan - BvS was a great movie didn't like the religious undertones but great, its only bad bcos critics say its bad, that is the kind of power fanboys have given to them, if critics had decided to praise the same reviled theatrical cut, the movie would have been remembered very differently. It is cool thing now to hate on Snyder's(not bvs but great movies like man of steel, watchmen,300...)movies. Even if justice league is a masterpiece critics will make it out to be an okay movie.

@BE4ST - thats just your opinion, say whatever you want to say but to say that everyone who didn't like it is a dc hater or marvel fanboy is ridiculous. if the movie was as well liked as you said it is it would have made more money, not make record drop offs every weekend in sales. i didn't like batman v superman, and i didn't know about any reviews or anything before going into because i stopped coming to sites like this beforehand. To say critics and fanboys changed the quality of the film is retarded, no offense. the movie had more then enough marketing, and if it was as good as you think it was, people would have enjoyed the movie. and dont say oh well it was to dark for your marvelites or some bs like that. there are dark movies that come out all the time that nobody hates. you may have the opinion that it is a great film, and thats fine, to each their own. but to say that fans and critics somehow changed someones perspective on the movie from great to bad is stupid. if you enjoy a movie, then why would you hate it all of a sudden just because of what some rabid fans or critics said. if justice league is genuinely good, then it will get good reviews, reviews are just opinions anyway so if you don't agree with them, who gives a f**k.just because someone didn't enjoy something you enjoyed doesn't make them bought or a fanboy, it makes them someone with an opinion. that said i'm sure there are fanboys out there who were rabidly hating on everything which is stupid because there were definitely good parts of this movie. but i can assure you, there are enough people out there who are neither dc nor marvel fanboys, or just not into the stuff as much as we folks are, that didn't like the movie. if they did, would have made more money. had no competition either or so general audiences should have been flocking to it if it was as good as you think it was. don't be Donald trump though and try and discredit people with different views by name calling though, its stupid.
