Zack Snyder Says DC Is Making Batman Irrelevant If He isn't a Killer

DC is making Batman "irrelevant" if he can't kill, according to Dawn of Justice director Zack Snyder. Snyder told the Joe Rogan Experience podcast that his "deconstructivist" views often get him "in trouble" with fans, but "it's because I care that I want to take him apart.".

Batman's refusal to kill his foes, a motif found in most comics and films, is key to his iconic relationship with the Joker.

You're weirdly protecting your deity, right? If god can't be there, you're making him irrelevant. He must now handle that. What does that signify if he does? What does it say, does he resist? As god, does he survive? Can Batman withstand that, god?"
