Far from being appreciated by everyone, Batman vs Superman continues to be divisive. But according to the director, it wouldn’t be the film’s fault. The spectators alone would be responsible for that.
From the beginning, the DCU didn’t shine with its regularity. Unlike Marvel MCU films, feature films based on DC Comics characters have disappointed quite often, if not more so. In what some consider failures, there is this fame Batman vs Superman by Zack Snyder. A production sabotaged by Warner, according to one of the screenwriters.

Let’s watch it for fun.” And they got it this kind of mythological modern day deconstructed superhero film with lots of framework and experimentation that demands your attention. And that wasn’t cool for her. They didn’t want to see that. They said, “What? NO ! It is exhausting. And why do they fight at night? I hate that”.
