Zack "Watchmen had heroes killing so you shouldn't be surprised that batman kills" Snyder
>And someone says to me like "Oh, Batman killed a guy!'--I"m like "Really?" I'm like "wake the f*** up!"....so that's what I'm saying, like, once you've lost your virginity to this f-ing movie [Watchmen] and then you come to me and say something about 'oh, my superhero wouldn't do that" I'm like "Seriously?" I'm like, down the f-ing road on that, know what I mean
Why did WB think it was ever a good idea to hire a guy to make their cinematic universe that probably doesn't understand that Watchmen was a deconstruction of Superheroes?

Because people who saw Watchmen didn't know it was a deconstruction of superheroes either.
Ian Davis
Probably because Snyder did a piss poor job of showing that

If he really said that [citation needed] that would explain a ton of things.

Snyder believes that Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns made superhero comic books "grow up" and that to go back to more innocent and childish tone and stories is a sort of betrayal.

There you go
I just can't understand why they let him make a cinematic universe, was it really just "he'll do"?
Connor Perez
And he is right, fuckin' comics are boring because of that shit.
Henry Gutierrez
Snyder thinks that by making an Alan Moore adaptation, he's as smart and relevant as Alan Moore. He's the kinda guy that thinks that quoting smart people makes you smart. That's why so much of his imagery depends on imitation.
Landon Flores
They hired him as a director-for-hire less because of his ideas and more because of his competency as a visual director. MoS script was written by Goyer, after all. Goyer and Nolan were the captains of the ship. Things only changed front when Affleck was hired as Batman and took the production of BvS hostage, bringing his own screen-writer to rewrite the whole thing, rewrite his scenes on the fly most of the time, and basically having final say in every little thing. Even on the actors.
