Zack Snyder Defends Making Batman Kill, Reveals ‘Batman v Superman’ Got R Rating Because MPAA Didn’t Like Them Fighting: ‘I Can’t Take That Out!’


Zack Snyder says the MPAA wanted to give "Batman v Superman" an R rating simply because they did not like the idea of two superheroes fighting.

Zack Snyder said in a recent interview on “The Joe Rogan Experience” that he doesn’t understand when fans’ hatred of his work becomes personal. Amid poor reviews for his latest directorial effort, Netflix’s “Rebel Moon,” Snyder read one article that referred to him as a “love him or hate him” filmmaker. “Batman v Superman” polarized comic book fans and movie critics, but it was still a box office blockbuster with $874 million worldwide.
