    Snyder is pretty good at dystopian movies. I liked Watchmen and Dawn of the Dead. Superman, however, shouldn’t be a dystopian story and that’s one of the main reasons he wasn’t a good choice for director.
    I think his Ayn Randian leanings were an asset to something like Watchmen but he never should have gotten near Superman. I do like his casting choices (well, save for Jessie Eisenberg) but his morose, tortured take on Superman didn't work. Also, the plots of both of his Superman movies are convoluted and strange.

      DC's films lack a Kevin Feige who will steer directors away from indulging their own inclinations and steer away from the proper feel of the source material. Snyder was essentially given the keys to the kingdom and WB just stepped back and was flummoxed when fan backlash hit them.

      But I tell you...there is indeed a diehard contingent of fans who LOVE Snyder's DC films. And they get ANGRY when you point out their flaws, or that they were perhaps the wrong way to go with the franchise. Superman Homepage is surprisingly full of these people.

        There are grumblings that Cavill may not be done with the red cape yet. Hope that's true, WB has a perfectly good Superman, he just needs to be handled properly. He should not be throwing terrorists through walls.

          Yeah, Superman shouldn’t be doing that to terrorists...that’s a job for Homelander...
