JUSTICE LEAGUE Director Zack Snyder Responds To Batman/Catwoman Controversy With A Very NSFW Image

It was recently revealed that DC stopped the Harley Quinn series from including a scene with Batman performing oral sex on Catwoman, and it turns out Zack Snyder has his own unique take on the matter...

Well, this...this is certainly something. 

Earlier this week, we shared comments from Harley Quinn executive producer Justin Halpern, who revealed that DC prevented them from including a scene with Batman performing oral sex on Catwoman. What he probably didn't expect is for those remarks to go viral, and it's pretty much all Twitter has been talking about this week. 

When Halpert was asked why they couldn't include the scene, he revealed that DC replied: "'We sell consumer toys for heroes. It’s hard to sell a toy if Batman is also going down on someone.'"

Needless to say, DC probably isn't happy that this deleted scene is receiving so much attention on social media and from major news outlets, and they more than likely won't be a fan of this either! 

Late last night, Justice League and Army of the Dead director Zack Snyder took to social media to share Frank Miller-inspired image of the Caped Crusader proving he is, in fact, not a selfish lover. 

We're not sure where this piece of artwork originated, but it's certainly received plenty of attention. As you can see, Snyder labelled it "canon," so we can probably assume that when his Batman crossed paths with Selina Kyle in the DC Extended Universe...he did what his animated counterpart could not.

This is getting more attention than I expected. Right now I'm waiting for George Clooney and Kevin Conroy to weight in on the matter too.

And ofcourse this is canon for Snyder. Falls in comparison to Batman getting raped right.

@bkmeijer - Batman prison rape, Supercuck, amazon mass rape and god knows what else I missed.

@bkmeijer - I think the part of this story that I still hate the most is the constant implication that cunnilingus is outside the norm of a healthy sexual encounter (to the extent that Batman can have those).

Imply for decades that Bruce and Selina had sex? Absolutely fine. Suggest Batman went down on Catwoman and everyone loses their minds (or starts giggling like a ten year old).

@Spock0Clock - yeah I get what you're saying, but implying is still different from explicitly showing it. For an adult series it should be possible though.

As for ''it not being for kids'', I think it's just somewhat the same as Avatar The Last Airbender never saying the actual word ''kill'' but always using substitutes as ''you will not be alive tomorrow anymore''.

@bkmeijer - These properties happily accommodate a wide variety of demographics, and they do seem to do it by being vague (in general).

This is one of the reasons I'm not all that enthusiastic to see mainstream big-two characters adapted in R-rated material. There are either compromises made to protect the kid-friendliness of the brand or there might be actual damage done to that brand if immature creators are given too much play. I like the Quinn series fine, but it's kind of creepy to see Harley in Bratz-esque cartoons, covered in cocaine in live-action, casually joking about HPV in a different cartoon, and then seeing a ten-year-old dress up as Quinn for Halloween.

I'm not lighting my hair on fire about it, exactly, but the "let a hundred flowers bloom" strategy at WB just isn't the way I would go about it. They yanked the chain on Batman because he's Batman, but outside of him it seems like it's often a free-for-all.

@Spock0Clock - kids dressing up as Harley Quinn is weird now that I think about. No matter the source material really.

But yeah you make a good point. My guess would be because I think 9 in 10 people know who Batman is, whereas it is different for characters like Harley Quinn (although they rise in popularity). It does set a certain precedent for how the character is viewed.

And that honestly still amazes me how WB allowed Snyder's Superman and Batman to be the mainstream movie heroes for them and not an Elseworlds, considering how far removed from the source material they are.

@RageDriver2401 - Nowhere did Zack ever say anything about the Amazons plot. Also, he never actually wanted the Batman prison thing to happen, it was just a really weird example to use in an interview.

@Spock0Clock - Sure, Batman [frick]s, but don't you DARE imply he's good at it!

@Nightwing1015 - I think the rape thing was just him being an obnoxious edge lord, which is an unfortunate interview (and often film) habit of his. The Amazon thing was mentioned as a creative difference by Patty Jenkins and is also alluded to in ZSJL. It's actually not entirely Snyder's invention, I believe it's in ancient myth, but I agree it's unnecessary.

There was no reason to cut it, its a show for adults (really unless they went crazy all out on this scene, dont see how it would be different than other stuff they have done) but really who cares, considering Catwoman isnt a main character, it probably would have just been a quick joke that has little to nothing to do with the rest of the episode.

Although they should add Catwoman to the main cast

Never miss an opportunity to say "look I'm better than WB guys" huh Zack?

@IvanBadski - I don't recall anyone here pretending to be better than WB, no.

@RageDriver2401 - Don’t play coy. Clearly meant pretending to be better than Snyder.
RageDriver2401
RageDriver2401 - 6/18/2021, 9:06 AM
@BobbyW - please I don't think he's pretending to be better than Snyder.

Wouldn't be a feat tho.

BoW - 6/18/2021, 10:57 AM
@RageDriver2401 - I'm saying the point @IvanBadski is making is that in reply to your comment, most ly everyone on Snyder articles never miss an opportunity to "showcase" how much better they are than Zack.

@RageDriver2401 - The guy’s having a bit of fun with a joke going around and you still attack him 😂 although I have never understood the sex obsession everyone has these days.. but then again I’m the kind of person who thinks sex in films and series is gratuitous, I can do without it.

@Cap1 - Twitter Snyder is definitely superior to Vero Snyder.

This story just keeps getting more awful, like a snake crawling up it's own butt and somehow finding it's way out of it's own mouth, then taking a second trip.
