Zack Snyder Explains How Batman Perceives Superman In Batman V Superman

When Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice arrives later this month, two of the most iconic heroes in comic book history will do battle on the big screen. That said, we don't know too much about the upcoming takes on Batman and Superman. We've seen Henry Cavill's portrayal of Clark Kent once already but this is our first meeting with Ben Affleck's Batman.
So, one question coming with the movie is why is Batman so mad at Superman?
One can gather based the film's trailers that Batman lost friends and employees during the destruction of Metropolis and he believes Superman must be taken as, "an absolute threat," but his views on Superman must be pretty specific if he's willing to put himself in a battle with the last son of Krypton.
"It's interesting to see how Batman perceives Superman, because he doesn't know who Superman is," Dawn of Justice director, Zack Snyder explains. "All he knows is the public face of Superman. And if you have an idea about someone or if you start to doubt someone's intentions, you can always read in the media, you can always see the face you want to see, based on how it's reported. Batman's seen the destruction of Metropolis. That's the thing he knows for a fact. So if thousands die, is that okay? What next? Millions? Is everyone okay with that? Because I'm not. That's Batman's point of view."
It'll be interesting to see how the two come to terms with one another before the movie concludes.
Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice hits theaters March 25.
