Zack Snyder Reveals A BATMAN v SUPERMAN Easter Egg Which Would Have Tied Into JUSTICE LEAGUE: PART 2

@Spock0Clock - That's what happens when you fire the only person who has a plan and then replace him with someone who doesn't know the significance of the story. Especially with the divisiveness of The Last Jedi, there's no question in my mind that Justice League would have made just as much, if not more than Batman v Superman if Zack Snyder had been allowed to finish it, or if Whedon followed his story instead of going in a different direction with it. Their opposing directions tore the film apart, and it tore the audience apart too. Pretty much the audience who saw Batman v Superman for the novelty of it, saw Justice League for the same reason, with a few more DC fans who also watched it. Then the DC and DC Films fans who kept going to Batman v Superman, when everyone else rage quit, started #ReleaseTheSnyderCut and the Justice League theatrical film bombed. If the studio had trusted Snyder and actually HELPED him by getting his true message (of hope rising in a world that seems devoid of it) across, as Patty Jenkins did with Wonder Woman, instead of trying to destroy everything, the film would have done, and been much better.

@WilliamHMacy - Yep... WB screened those early cuts and thought... "This movie will make a billion and a half dollars if we finish it, but instead, let's get the guy who already made that a movie that was super-successful and have him completely mess it up."

@GreypilgrimXXX - First of all, I'm a lass, not a boyo. Second of all, their mistake WAS in not trusting Snyder. Instead of giving Batman v Superman a 2 hour and 50 minute runtime (we didn't need the David Goyer self congratulatory garbage Easter egg or the scenes suggesting Wallace Keefe's innocence, and, if Snyder hadn't fully thought out his origins for Cyborg and what weapon Aquaman used, he could have come up with something better for that) they cut out a large portion of Superman's character arc to make room for more Batman, and the film was released at an uneven 2 hours and 30 minutes. Then, when the film was shredded by critics and audiences, they hired a trailer making company to finish the next film in their slate. Then, even though Patty Jenkins made a critical and commercial success out of his Wonder Woman story, proving that his vision does work when given proper attention, instead of being hacked to pieces, they had already fired him and hired Whedon to go in a completely different direction which tore Justice League apart. They didn't trust Snyder. He came up with a whole Cinematic Universe and they destroyed it to make that Marvel money by carbon copying them, which led to their biggest box office failure in years as #ReleaseTheSnyderCut sent a message to the studio that they were sick of the studio intervention. If Whedon was brought on to help Snyder tell people what he was showing them, instead of trying to tell a completely different story, the film would have been much more successful.

@cbostont102 - You didn't like the struggle of a boy from another planet to find a way to use his abilities to help others while protecting his secret and the people of Smallville, nor did you like how he finds joy in achieving that goal as Superman? Well, everyone likes different things. I guess.

He exceeded expectations in my opinion.

@SisterSunday52 - How much negative press, bad publicity, comparatively flat box office takes, and bad writing were they expected to 'trust' Snyder through for him to put out one good film?
Even as a huge DC fan I can't imagine rating MoS better than 'okay' as a film, and it was better than both BvS and JL. He didn't understand the characters or the stories, and if he did then he simply had no interest in showing them. Instead he opted for a half-assed "deconstruction" of the DC heroes that just didn't work. How long did they have to just trust him before he was going to have something pan out? Three films? Four? Six?

@OptionFour - He both understood the characters and created stories that developed them into the heroes we know and love. The only thing he did wrong was that he showed us how they became the heroes we know and love. He did not tell us in his films so, because you misinterpreted his work, you ASSume that he doesn't understand the characters, when he actually gave us a Superman who uses his abilities because he wants to (not out of some tragic origin or because his Kryptonian father told him to) he gave us a Batman who learns that his rules against killing still matter even in a world of superpowered people and a Wonder Woman who has seen the worst of humanity, but still is determined to protect them. Just because people misinterpreted his stories of hope rising in a world that seems devoid of it as something else, does not mean their criticisms we're justified or even accurate. Man of Steel, Batman v Superman and Wonder Woman are the best DC Films and that's thanks to Snyder. Trailer Park's Suicide Squad and Justice League are the worst films and that's thanks to studio interference.

@SisterSunday52 - There's no need to be insulting. Really? Calling me an ass? Grow up. Speak to me like an adult.

I understood exactly what he was trying to do and I didn't misinterpret his works at all - he just largely failed in his aims. I can completely understand a thing and still disagree with you about whether or not it was successful. That's the nature of opinions. Everything he did was stilted, poorly written, and hacky.

@Primordiac - Snyder's an attention whore. He keeps commenting on these random fan theories to get attention.

Someone needs to teach him how to prioritise.
1. Put together a cohesive, coherent story for the movie you're currently developing.
2. Then think about Easter eggs for movies that are years in the future and may or may not even happen.

@Highflyer - maybe not consciously

@SisterSunday52 - I mean, I am also in the group of people who bought the dvd. So I wouldn’t say that entire group wants more Bvs.

Also, I’m more concerned with Snyder’s mental health here. I think moving on is what he needs to do.

@BlindAl9 - *nobody
