Zack Snyder has fired back at fans and critics who complained about Batman using lethal force in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", saying a darker interpretation of the Caped Crusader unsettled those who live in a "dreamworld".
Snyder directed the 2016 DC film which received flak for the film's heavier handling of the Dark Knight, who as per comic lore famously does not resort to murder.
"Oh like, 'Batman killed a guy'. I'm like, 'Really? Wake the f**k up. So I guess that's what I'm saying about, once you've lost your virginity to this f**king movie and then you come and say to me something like, 'My superhero wouldn't do that', I'm like, 'Are you serious?' I'm like down the f**king road on that. You know what I mean?
