When Zack Snyder announced Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, he did so with a quote by having Harry Lennix read a quote from Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns. This older version of Batman informed a lot of Ben Affleck’s take on the character, and director Zack Snyder shared a deeper timeline on his “jaded” Batman.
Speaking at IGN Fan Fest, Zack Snyder drew out a small timeline that reveals how Bruce Wayne became the Batman that we first see in Batman v Superman, and later how his character grows even further in Zack Snyder’s Justice League.
“Our Bruce has a higher moral, or stronger, moral compass when he first started fighting in Gotham [City] 20 years ago,” says Snyder.
Director Zack Snyder revealed some interesting insights into the relationship between Batman (Ben Affleck) and Deathstroke (Joe Manganiello) in the forthcoming Snyder Cut of Justice League during Saturday’s IGN Fan Fest 2021.
Traditionally Batman’s foe, Deathstroke, aka Slade Wilson, is an assassin (albeit one with his own code) who has allied with other supervillains in the past.
Zack Snyder is getting ready to release his version of Justice League on HBO Max.
