I don't like his movies, but I think that Zack Snyder makes a good point here, both about pushing the envelope when it comes to interpreting superheroes in movies and about how catering to fan expectations can strangle the life out of something. I just found out today that he was on Joe Rogan. I actually want to listen to that.
(Let's also just mention that Michael Keaton's Batman, who everyone loves these days, was killing motherfuckers all of the time)
I wouldn't mind it in theory if his thought of making Batman wasn't getting ass raped in prison.

He's just another subverter of expectations.

Snyder had plenty of chances. He blew it. This guy hired that faggot Ezra Miller. He should be hung for that alone.
I forgot that part one of that Crisis on Infinite Earths animated adaptation came out last month. Watching a torrent now. This is fucking tedious.
I never read the original comic, but I doubt 50% of the characters were black in the original. The animation is this awful, thick-lined cel-shaded CGI. Some of the voice acting is atrocious and I can only assume it's due to the mandated race-based voice casting.
DC was saying that this could be their final animated movie, and I'm A-OK with that if this is what future projects would be like.
It’s more Warner Bros but their Mortal Kombat movies are good, can also recommend the Constantine ones.

I don't think you necessarily have to stick to that rule, but it feels like writers are a bit lazy with Batman. He's pragmatic and brooding, so automatically he has to be this angst-ridden killer.
Going against the grain is usually more interesting, so I'd prefer to see a Batman that's more idealistic if only for the sake of variety. Or maybe he kills as a last resort and struggles with it. Or maybe not killing someone leads to terrible consequences (cue Joker escaping from Asylum again), and that can be a source of drama and conflict.
