Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was a movie full of very interesting imagery and director Zack Snyder has now taken to social media to confirm a long standing fan theory about one specific scene.
Now, as you'll recall, much of the movie revolves around the fallout of Superman's destructive battle with General Zod in Man of Steel and when one fan on Vero theorised that the scene where the hero is surrounded by those celebrating the Day of the Dead may have deeper meaning, Snyder confirmed that's the case. They suggested that the onlookers dressed as skeletons were representative of those who died during the fight and that Clark is unable to let go of the dead and be the saviour they want.
That just goes to show how much thought Snyder put into the movie and the visual he utilised throughout. Of course, the filmmaker focused a lot of religious iconography in Batman v Superman, so this probably shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. What do you think about this revelation?
