The director of 'Batman v Superman: The Dawn of Justice', Zack Snyder, has recently published on the social network Vero an explanation to criticism often directed against his film: the idea that Batman (Ben Affleck) creates a spear of kryptonite instead of using the Kryptonian component to make a more modern and technological weapon, instead of something so arbitrary and ridiculously primitive. However, Zack Snyder has an answer for everything (after two years of the film's premiere) and the filmmaker shared a painting of Jesus Christ on the cross, with his side pierced by the spear of Longinus, a Roman soldier. The image is subtitled with the following sentence: "Why does Batman build a spear with all the technology at his disposal? Here you have the reason and the explanation of that. "
It should be noted that the version that Zack Snyder has made of Superman (Henry Cavill) is often accompanied by messianic images. It was clear that the use of the spear in 'Batman v Superman' was not going to be different. While it raises a valid point about the images it intended to achieve, it is unlikely to get the approval of critics who continue to insist that "it makes no sense" even by adjusting to the thematic aspects of the film. The clarification of the filmmaker plays in favor of his own arguments, although the difficulty of capturing all references complicate the understanding of certain sequences of 'Batman v Superman'.
On the other hand, in recent days the director has explained both the nightmare of Bruce Wayne and the opening of the film called "A beautiful lie." We will have to wait to see if Snyder is planning an important announcement about the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) and is paving the ground or simply bored a lot because he has no project in sight ... At the moment.
