Four years after it released to lukewarm reviews, Snyder has returned to Batman V Superman, hosting a live watch party with commentary on social media app Vero. For those who missed the livestream, The Hollywood Reporter caught some of the most interesting tidbits from the viewing.

　　During this postmortem-style stream, Snyder addressed some of the criticisms that have been leveled at the movie since its release--including the infamous Martha moment. Snyder pointed out that the Martha moment is more about Batman's humanity than it is about their mothers simply having the same name, the moment is intended as a catalyst for him to empathize with Superman.

　　Now Playing: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Spoiler-Free Review

　　Another moment that received criticism was the similarity of the Wayne Tower's collapse to 9/11 imagery. Snyder has said that this was purposeful, in order to evoke an emotional reaction and draw comparisons to the kind of trauma it would cause for Bruce Wayne.

　　Throughout the film, Superman is framed with religious iconography, beginning with the Day of the Dead sequence. This all comes to a head with the kryptonite spear Batman creates to kill Superman, echoing the Spear of Destiny that was used to pierce Jesus' side as he hung on the cross. Without the religious parallels however, it seems strange for the technologically advanced Batman to choose such a primitive weapon.

　　Other interesting tidbits include the fact that Wonder Woman could have been set in various other wars--the filmmakers had discussed earlier wars that could have begun her story, such as the Crimean War of 1853 to 1856, or even the American Civil War.

　　Snyder has never been shy about correcting people who mis-read the intended messages of his films, and how he handles fan-favourite characters. With the Batman v Superman Ultimate Edition running for just over 3 hours, he had plenty of time to talk about it in this livestream, and you can check out more of the facts he dropped at The Hollywood Reporter.

　　After the movie was over, Snyder finished by saying the film should get a sequel. Combined with some sneaky references to his intended cut of Justice League, the Snyder Cut movement is about to get excited all over again.
