The Four Color Media Monitor

Filmmaker Zack Snyder, the architect of the DC cinematic universe in what was until recently its main incarnation, was interviewed by the Hollywood Reporter, and has revealed himself to be quite the ignoramus when it comes to certain performers who've worked in adaptations of DC superhero characters. But first, here's something fishy regarding his take on Superman:

Sure, some fans were jolted by Man of Steel’s off-putting climax, when Superman snaps Zod’s neck, committing murder for the first time in the character’s cinematic history. But no matter. Warners seemed all in on Snyder’s darker vision for the franchise, positioning its DC movies as the antithesis of the softer superhero rivals at Disney-owned Marvel. After the $200 million film grossed $670 million worldwide, Snyder’s stock at Warners was up, up and away. He was going to make more movies and oversee spinoffs. They would be tales of life and death, of man and gods. It was modern mythology, and Snyder saw himself as a Hollywood Prometheus.

Seriously, I find this very disturbing they describe a scene like that as murder, given how the film was dealing with a deadly villain who could've done far worse. Though the screenplay does represent a huge problem in hindsight - an inability of modern filmmakers to build a tale that doesn't rely heavily upon darkness. And now, here's the troubling part about Snyder himself:

He’s kept in touch with some old pals from the DC world. He occasionally talks to Ezra Miller, lending support to the actor he cast as The Flash throughout their recent mental health and legal challenges. “[They] did a great job in that Flash movie,” Snyder says. “It’s very difficult to play against yourself.”

[...] And he’s been dismayed to see Amber Heard suffer online abuse amid controversy over her divorce from Johnny Depp.

“I just don’t get it,” says Snyder. “If other people don’t like her, I don’t know what to say. I would work with her in a second.”

Does this man not understand Heard was found guilty of framing an innocent man on false accusations of spousal abuse, committed some alarmingly crude acts herself, and this looks like it'll all bring her career to a screeching halt, unless Snyder intends to hire her for his upcoming projects? And does Snyder not understand Miller's guilty of easily worse, based on the assaults and abuse he was accused of against women? Something he tragically may not see any consequence for, based on his protected class status of LGBT ideology. Oh, and look how, months after the Flash movie proved a catastrophe, the trade journal's still sticking by that pronoun propaganda. Truly embarrassing. Though it does appear the trade journal apparently edited what Snyder said to suit their Orwellian agenda. Is he fine with that?

In any event, Snyder's proven he's quite the ignoramus when it comes to the seriousness of Heard and Miller's deeds, and is giving signs why he's not a such a big deal for a film director, whether it's comics or sci-fi or anything else. And his prior movies had traces of wokeness in them to boot, so again, what's all the fuss about? This is not going to improve his reputation.
