Topic / Subject
Zack Snyder praised James Gunn’s Superman as “amazing” and called Gunn “the best at it,” signaling support for DC’s new era.
TL;DR
Snyder did not do the petty thing. He publicly blessed Gunn’s run, which is a big vibe shift for DC fans.
Key Details
• Snyder made the comments during an appearance on Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast, per coverage.
• Snyder praised Gunn’s Superman as amazing and said Gunn is the best at it, describing him as a strong steward of the DC world.
• The quotes spread quickly across DC fan accounts and entertainment sites.
• There is no rumor element here, it is Snyder’s on record opinion.
Breakdown
This is the kind of quote that cools off a fandom war, at least for a minute. Snyder is basically saying, “let the new guy cook,” and he is saying it with respect.
It also matters because DC discourse tends to get tribal fast. When a major figure from the prior era speaks positively, it can reduce the pressure on the new film before it even lands.
None of this guarantees success at the box office. It does change the tone around the handoff.
What to Watch Next
• Whether Gunn responds publicly, or keeps it moving
• How DC fan accounts frame this, unity moment or new argument
• Any new Superman marketing that gets boosted by this quote
• More creators from the previous DC era commenting on the new run
