The inherent darkness surrounding Bruce Wayne is one of the most obvious reasons why fans love Batman. And Zack Snyder exploited that trait to the fullest during his tenure at DC. While making the Snyderverse movieBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the director put Ben Affleck’s Batman in a chaotic situation that was enough to shudder his moral ground.
Batman is so very different from Superman but the character needs to maintain God-like prowess to level up with Superman (who is equivalent to God for humankind) and other heroes infused with superpowers. Snyder was candid enough to reveal his philosophy behind making Affleck’s Batman ruthless in the movie.
Zack Snyder Commented On Making Ben Affleck’s Batman Ruthless
Defying the wildly accepted idea of“Batman can’t kill”was a bold move onZack Snyder’spart. The director still went on to throw the character into a pit of moral dilemma. It is a general consensus that Batman and Superman are two morally elevated Superheroes of all time with the core philosophy making them what they are— two most distinguished DC heroes. However, the forces of the enemy are not always ready to accept that, thus challenging the root of their philosophical ideals.“Dark Knight Returns there’s a scene where and I copied it kind of in Batman vs Superman where he grabs the M60 he busts through the wall,”Snyderrevealed his intention for Batmanduring a chat withJoe Roganappearing in theJoe Rogan Experiencepodcast.

“I felt that’s what they would say don’t do that to Batman don’t put him in a no-win situation because we don’t want to see him lose like we can’t see him lose. He has to maintain this Godlike status and that’s what the cool thing about Frank Miller. Frank Miller said f*ck it. I’m going to like I’m going to I want to see who this guy.”
Snyder was ready to gamble with the character and he has been quite successful at it. Certainly,Ben Affleck’sBatman offered a lot to the Snyderverse as he retained his prominence for Justice League and Gotham in general.

Snyder did not hesitate to put Batman in a no-win scenario revisiting almost the same gunpoint scene despite the legacy of the character inherently screaming his moral ideals.

“If a guy so you’re saying to me that I’ve got a gun to this kid’s head, you’re Batman. I’m going to, there’s no move, there’s no trick, there’s no throwing the Batarang, there’s no dust ball to distract me, like I’ve just got to pull the trigger and I kill this kid. So, you’re saying in that scenario, Batman, what’s Batman supposed to do? He’s gonna lay down his gun what’s he going to do? Like it’s the guy says to him, I’ll do it I swear it.”
Batman says, “I believe you.”It brought the essence of how far Batman can go to save the kid from the villain’s gunpoint when all the options are exhausted.

Podcast host Rogan agreed with Snyder’s philosophy of creating the hero’s dilemma as well.Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justicewent on to gross over $872 million at the box office signifying the fact that Snyder’s move worked in his favor.
