As reported by Slash Films, Richard Donner talked about the representation of DC’s Superman. He says, “It’s a cool point of view to be like, ‘My heroes are still innocent. My heroes didn’t f*cking lie to America. My heroes didn’t embezzle money from their corporations. My heroes didn’t f*cking commit any atrocities.’ That’s cool. But you’re living in a f*cking dream world.”

Later, Richard Donner says he was not impressed with the deconstruction enterprise Zack Snyder was running. In another conversation with Den of Geek in 2018, the director said, “I don’t see Superman as the way he’s being treated today, which is in a very dark fashion.
