Zack Snyder On The Decision To Use Doomsday In BATMAN V SUPERMAN

While it may not be a true sequel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice does address the fallout from Superman's destructive battle with Zod. In a film featuring the Man of Steel, The Dark Knight and Wonder Woman is the inclusion of Doomsday a step too far?

While fans have "too much, too soon" fears about what Zack Snyder is attempting to accomplish with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Snyder would have you believe that now is not the time to be skittish.  Dawn of Justice is a film that's attempting to blow the doors wide open on the DCEU and hint at character and concepts that can be further developed in spin-off films and team-ups.  Speaking on Doomsday in particular, Snyder promises that Doomsday has a backstory that will lead to interesting developments further down the line of the DCEU, possibly in Justice League.  Said Snyder,  “Well, you have Doomsday, right? He doesn’t just crawl out of the ground. He has his own mythology, right? So that has to be explored.  To us it really made sense to give [Doomsday] to the audience now. I really wanted to make the audience a promise that… though I’m super excited and happy and fulfilled by the conflict of Batman and Superman, there’s also a bigger world to start to think about.”

In fact, Snyder says the ever evolving road map for the DCEU is starting to solidify, which allows for more misdirection in the marketing campaigns.  Make of that what you will.  "[The DCEU roadmap] is constantly evolving, but we’re starting to get a handle on where we’re going with the world.  That’s fun because it allows us now to be driving toward a goal that we don’t have to make up as much. The rules can be the rules, and the movie can exist in a closed universe… it allows us to tie things together. If there’s a movie over here doing this, and we’re over here doing this, now we’re all on the same page.

It allows for a coherent universe, which is important.  I think that makes the experience a little more satisfying because we know where we’re going, so the misdirects can be stronger and the reveals can be bigger."


Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice arrives in theaters on March 25, 2016.

Why does Doomsday's mythology have to be explored? Just off him in BvS and be done with him. He's not interesting.

@GuardianAngel

If you think this movie is gonna tank with the amount of advertising done and amount of good press, and the fact it has 6 weeks before the next major competition, you're an idiot. Only way this tanks is if it pulls a fant4stic and zach snyder is actually a rampaging coke addict with a studio giving him no freedom

Wow, he actually sounds coherent in this interview.

Sometimes he doesn't interview well.

My expectation is that this film will exceed 60% in Rottentomatoes and stay fresh. I think it will be close, though. A lot of critics seem to have it out for Snyder.

@ManCalledSting I prefer DC, but I usually argue with Jollem. Not really trying to troll DC


@ALegendaryPanda same goes to you.

I have many doubts, not just that there is gonna be way too much crap cgi in this movie but also that every character is gonna have its origins and personality destroyed or bastardised like zsuperman was in MOS.

On the other hand though if it works it will be great.
