Veteran director Zack Snyder has had plenty of stories to say about his time in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). Making controversial decisions along the way which caused several fatalities in the DCEU, Snyder simply felt unafraid.
With James Gunn taking charge of the DCU now, the director is faced with a lot of choices on what and what not to adapt. Well, we would suggest that James Gunn dare not repeat this one mistake from veteran director Christopher Nolan that Zack Snyder chose to avoid!
Why Zack Snyder Decided To Tear Down The Character of Batman!
With an abundance of actors who have donned the role of the Caped Crusader and the vigilante of Gotham, there have been several iterations of Batman throughout the years. Some of the directors took the challenge and created one of the best portrayals of Batman.
Christopher Nolan, Zack Snyder, and, Matt Reeves are three of the directors who took Batman in a newer direction. For the sake of this article, let us take a look at the difference of Batman between Nolan and Snyder’s versions. The first thing that you notice in Snyder’s Batman inBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justiceis that this Batman is a bit more brutal.

From branding criminals so that they may die in jail to hanging from the ceiling, Ben Affleck’s Batman doesn’t hold back when it comes to criminals. On the other hand, Christopher Nolan’s Batman pulls his punches and his moral authority stops him from going too far. This is one of the primary differences that were clearly seen between Snyder’s and Nolan’s versions of Batman.

In the comics, Batman follows the no-killing rule (a rule thatZack Snyderoften likes to break) and fans obviously had controversial reactions to Affleck’s terrifying Batman. Well, Zack Snyder had the answer ready!
Zack Snyder Wanted To Test Batman’s Mettle
A director who often talks about gods, wars, and, courage, Zack Snyder is a person who likes challenges. Wanting to push himself further and further, Snyder sets the same limit for the characters in his movies.

“They go like “well don’t put him in a situation where he has to kill someone.” I’m like, well, that’s just like…you’re protecting your god in a weird way, right? You’re making your god irrelevant if he can’t be in that situation. He now has to deal with that. You know, if he does do that, what does that mean? What does it tell you if- does he stand up to it?”
Snyder directed Ben Affleck across two DCEU movies, namely,Batman v Superman: Dawn of JusticeandZack Snyder’s Justice League.Although the reviews were mixed, it might be a good suggestion for James Gunn (the co-head of DC Studios) to make his Batman a bit more violent and break some form of character walls so that people can see a newer version of the Caped Crusader in James Gunn’s DCU!
