Zack Snyder is defending Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’s Martha moment from all the mockery that has come since. In a lot of ways, that standoff between the two heroes is the lynchpin of the entire film. Snyder spoke to I MINUTEMEN about how “Martha” has become something of an easy target for pop culture in the years after the release. It’s quite clear listening to the director talk about Batman v Superman that the creative team was looking for a way to humanize Clark Kent. At that moment, the bond between these two icons becomes clear because of a random DC Comics factoid from decades ago. But, a connection is still real no matter how strange it may seem on the surface.
