I hope this becomes the norm.
Wayne was trying to recruit him for the Justice League.
you’re able to read more about that scenehere in my set report.
But I do think it shows a little bit about what Ezra brings to the movie.
You know, Batman’s Batman.
It’s what he’s good at.

This is an interesting way of understanding how the movie’s have gone in a progression.
By no means is this the whole movie.
Look at the Batmobile, for God’s sake.

You know, they’re going to be drawn into conflict.
Question: You want to make a different movie fromBatman v Superman?
Snyder: Well, yes.
Image via Warner Bros.
You know, we fought Zod; that’s pretty much an alien.
Who does he fight next?
What do you do?
Image via Warner Bros.
I thought, “Oh, that’s kinda cool.
What if he fought Batman?”
then it’s hard to go back.
Image via Warner Bros.
you might’t take that away.
you could’t go, “Oh, you know who else is cool to fight?
Once you say “Batman” out loud, it’s gonna be Batman.

I haven’t seen anything so far with Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor.
Any chance that he’s back at all for this?
Is he a presence?
Image via Warner Bros.
I mean, he’s in prison, so who knows?
Prisons in the comic book world are pretty porous places, you know?
So how does the audience reaction and critical reaction ofBvSinform you guys as you come toJustice League?
Image via Warner Bros.
But I feel like he had to go through something to be that.
Snyder: Yes,veryconsciously!
And he’s been absent today.
Image via Warner Bros.
So what can you tell us?
Snyder: [Laughs] Should be perfect.
A little longer I guess!
Image via Warner Bros.
That’s what the myths are anyway.
No, but…
Is he not supposed to be a part of this stage of it?
If he does appear, I think that that would be a big part of the story, right?
There’s other – well, you’ll see.
It actually got leaked a little bit, so it came and went.
That to me is a fun activity.
Have you had all the Justice League members on the set at the same time, so far?
Snyder: We’ve had almost all of them together.
[Laughs] What was it like?
Snyder: It was super cool!
It was really fun.
We did have a big sequence where they had to “make the plan.”
I won’t say what it was.
It was pretty fun.
Is the secondJustice Leaguemovie still tethered to this?
Is that something that you still plan to direct?
Snyder: I think we still have a release date.
This isn’t “Part 1” though?
You’re not looking at it as a part one?
Snyder: Oh, it is a complete movie.
I mean, of course there’s –
It’s not going to end on a big cliffhanger?
Has this been a more difficult film for you than you would have hoped.
Snyder: Yeah, I don’t think so.
For me, anyway, I love the characters.
I love comic books – maybe to a fault sometimes.
But I think the studio’s been amazing with me, and they are a filmmaker-driven studio.
They don’t really do a ton of things by committee.
It’s just been a great experience I’ve had with them as a studio.
I love the material, and for me it is personal, a really personal movie.
It did catch me off-guard.
I do, I take it really deep.
Will it be hardcore?
Snyder: I mean, when I say “hardcore,” I mean sort ofcanonhardcore, you know?
As opposed to, “Oh, let’s build a team and fight the bad guy!”
It’s a different energy.
So you’re consciously changing the tone this time?
Snyder: Yeah, I mean, I think I’m obsessed with tone in the movies.
So, closer to yourDawn of the Dead?
Snyder: No, no!
Batman starts off in this movie like he has a renewed faith in humanity.
At the same time, he’s facing a huge new threat.
And we talked long and hard about like, “Okay, inBatman v Supermanhe’s here.
And then the example of Superman makes him go, “No, you know what?
I’m not done.
I’ve got more to do.
I’ve got to persevere and make it right.”
Can you talk about working with Geoff Johns?
I can’t talk about that.
His knowledge of comics is just crazy.
He’s like an encyclopedia of comic books.
Like I’ll be like, “Hey, is there a weird Lantern from –?”
and he’ll be like, “You know…!”
Like we’ll look through some archive.
You know, there’s DC-pedia, but he’s even crazier than that.
[Laughs]
Larger than life?
Snyder: Larger than life!
Very nice, thank you.
Yeah, but the kinda scope-y, sci-fi, kinda cool, what I think is fun stuff.
And the Mother Boxes are always fun DC weird tech, you know?
Most of us are used to getting deleted scenes on a Blu-ray.
But then I was like, “I don’t know, can I do that?”
because Marvel kind of does that.
“Is that a thing?”
So we were like, “Oh!
