Zack Snyder announces a three-day convention

Last week, Zack Snyder posted a cryptic video, teasing a weekend-long DC event on April 28th to April 30th, which featured a message from Darkseid urging viewers to save the date. In a recent interview with The Nerd Queens, Snyder revealed that the event will be a screening of the three DCEU movies he directed – Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Zack Snyder’s Justice League – with panel discussions after each screening. During the Man of Steel Q&A, there may be special guests, but Snyder didn’t divulge any names.

This three-day-long convention will be a fundraising event for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) and will take place in California. Fans who are unable to attend will be able to participate in live-stream panels and potentially engage in live chats with Snyder.

Tickets will go on sale on March 24th, with more details to come. This is an incredible opportunity for Snyder fans to come together to celebrate his work while supporting an essential cause.

Zack Snyder explains Robin’s death 

I know I’m going against the grain here, but I actually enjoyed Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. It was a deeply flawed movie, but it wasn’t as bad as people want it to be.  

If you have seen the movie, then you know that there are glimpse into the DCU. One of those involves a Robin suit, in a glass display case with “HAHAHA The Joke’s On You Batman” graffitied on it.

Batman V Superman director Zack Snyder sat down with IGN, to explain that scene:

“In my mind, it was that Robin had died 10 years earlier, during some run-in with a young Joker, so there was a fun backstory there to play with. I felt like the whole idea was that there had been loss and there had been sacrifice. In a weird way, he had sacrificed everything to be Batman. He doesn’t really have a life outside the cave. I thought that including Robin, a dead Robin, was helping us understand that he’s been on quite a little journey.”
