Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice director Zack Snyder recently sat down with Wired magazine (on sale March 3rd) and had this to say in regards to the destruction of Metropolis in the original Man of Steel.

“To me, the killing of Zod is not as big a deal as the destruction of Metropolis. It’s important that these movies have consequences, that there is collateral damage. In Batman v Superman I wanted to show how Bruce Wayne feels when reduced to a sideline sitter. Batman is frightened by his impotence in the face of that.”
I happen to agree with Snyder on this. I never had as big an issue with how much collateral damage happened in Man of Steel after Snyder’s previous comments that it would be a catalyst for making him the hero he is supposed to be.
Man of Steel was Superman’s coming of age story, not Batman’s, and this Batman has already learned some of those lessons. As long as there are ramifications for his actions, I have zero issue with it.
