A Warner Bros. executive expressed regret over battling Zack Snyder on his vision for DC, according to the director.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In a new interview with Variety<\/a>, Zack Snyder spoke about the implosion of his DC universe, calling it a “low point.” The director revealed that a former Warner Bros. executive told Snyder that he was “right about everything” and expressed remorse over battling him on his vision for the DC universe.<\/p>\n

“I met with this executive at Warner Bros. who\u2019s long gone since \u2014 I won\u2019t say who it was \u2014 and he said to me, ‘You know, Zack, I\u2019ve got to tell you one thing: You were right about everything.’ And I was like, ‘That\u2019s kind of you.’ And he goes, ‘We were fighting you, and in the end you were right.’ […] They did this attempt to control it \u2014 and I\u2019m just talking about the regime that was there that\u2019s no longer there. <\/p>\n

“They had this massive IP that\u2019s worth a ton, and I can understand wanting to protect it as best they could since all their jobs depended on it working, and they\u2019d put it in the hands of a madman \u2014 or so they thought \u2014 so the part of them thinking that, and this is going to sound horrible, ‘This thing that happened to Zack is a window for us to take the movie back now.'”<\/p>\n

Warner Bros. spent years battling with Snyder on his DC universe, as the director wanted to take tell darker, more grounded stories that broke the established rules of a lot of these iconic characters. Man of Steel ended with Superman snapping General Zod’s neck, Batman v Superman sees Batman killing and branding people, and there were plans to turn Superman into a violent ruler of Earth in future films. Once fans started to respond negatively<\/a>, WB started to push back and compromise Snyder’s vision.<\/p>\n

Snyder also noted that he’s never seen the theatrical cut of Justice League, which was a Frankenstein-ed version of Snyder’s original movie and another version by Joss Whedon. Whedon was brought in to lighten the film’s tone, bring it under 2 hours, and also remove a variety of elements, such as the presence of Darkseid, who was seemingly being built up as DC’s Thanos<\/a>.<\/p>\n
