January 12, 2016: Zack Snyder on "Justice League" and "The Mythology of Doomsday"

Doomsday In an interview with The Daily Beast, "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" director Zack Snyder reveals that there might be more to Doomsday then fans think.

When the most recent theatrical trailer was released, fans complained that the revelation of Doomsday was too much of a spoiler for the film. Snyder disagrees...

"I know what's in the movie, so I know there's other stuff," Snyder laughed.

He goes on to explain that he and Warner Bros. had a "long conversation about just taking ownership of that, of giving it to the audience in a controlled way that I felt was consistent with the escalation of the campaign."

Snyder also once again hints at the bigger threats to be faced by the heroes in the upcoming "Justice League" movies. "Well, you have Doomsday, right?" said Snyder, playing coy when asked about the kind of bad guys the Justice League might encounter. "[Doomsday] doesn't just crawl out of the ground. He has his own mythology, right? So that has to be explored..."

"To us it really made sense to give [Doomsday] to the audience now. I really wanted to make the audience a promise that... though I'm super excited and happy and fulfilled by the conflict of Batman and Superman, there's also a bigger world to start to think about."

Clearly aware of how fans react to what they're shown, Snyder admits that plans for the DC Movie Universe are "constantly evolving", adding, "I think that makes the experience a little more satisfying because we know where we're going, so the misdirects can be stronger and the reveals can be bigger."
