guys i had another shower thought and I think I fixed batman v superman

if you dont know, theres a clip of zack synder on the joe rogan podcast where he talks about how batman should kill and its going viral on twitter

my immediate first thought was: then why was joker still alive?

we all know that batfleck would have killed joker after dick died (still cant believe that happened wtf) because bruce literally tried to kill joker in the comics

hear me out: movie opens with jason (NOT DICK, ZACK) dying in the warehouse and batfleck LOSES IT and starts trying to hunt down joker. cavil, as clark, hears about the batman for the first time and how he's going on a rampage across gotham to find joker and he's like: not on my watch

boom, the story then shifts from a batman v joker storyline to the batman v superman storyline cuz clark is trying to stop batfleck and batfleck just wants joker's head

hell, instead of the martha moment that was meme'd to death, you could have had a scene where clark and batfleck are fighting and eventually clark shouts, in frustration, "why are you doing this?!"

and batfleck roars, "HE KILLED MY SON."

boom, now clark is viewing the situation differently. he's conflicted. he runs to lois for advice because he now understands batfleck's fury and vengeance since there's a part of him that would probably act the same but it doesn't make him right

then clark can approach batfleck, not as superman but as clark, and they TALK. clark explains to bruce that jason wouldn't want him kill the joker. that its not going to solve anything

and eventually bruce agrees especially since clark is the first person to actually help bruce process the death of jason in a nonviolent way. then movie ends with them becoming friends.

the best part is joker wouldn't even be in the movie at all. he would just be a metaphor of batfleck's anger, grief, and vengeance

batman v superman should have been a movie of these two powerhouses' ideologies butting heads before coming to a resolution and becoming friends.

ya know, how clark and bruce actually are in the comics

but we all know zack has never read a detective comics comic before so lmao
