Zack Snyder

You say, Superman, is he not an invention, a 20th century invention that says to us, all the fucking shit that we run up against, whether it be war or class struggle or whether it be interrelationships between different countries,

Does Superman not appear in answer to us primitive brains trying to figure out where we are?

You make a guy like Superman so he can answer some of those questions.

He can represent a point of view that is not helpless in the face of...

The insanity that is like, you know, the problems of the 20th century.

And I think in Batman in the same way, he's an answer to like urban.

What is urban?

The urban jungle needs a myth, you know, just like the ancient jungle needed a myth or the ancient, you know, those all like in those days we'd say like, why is the volcano erupting?

Right.

but now we say, cause we didn't know, you know, we were just like, I guess it's the gods are mad, you know?

And, but now we have, now the problem is like, why am I, why do I feel helpless in the face of technology or whatever?

Right.

You know?

So we need an answer.

We need an additional answer.

And I think that's what, and that's what I've always, and I feel like genre has allowed me to make those comments, you know?

And I think, and it, you know, look,

the funny thing about, you know, what I always find interesting, you know, the thing that I always find fascinating about sort of the movies I've made and how they've landed on pop culture is that like, I remember like in the last article, it was like, it said, Zack Snyder, love him or hate him.

Right.

Like, and I'm like, hate him.
