“This was always a stupid idea”: It’s Hard to Defend Zack Snyder’s Plan for Zeus and His Link With Henry Cavill’s Superman

Zack Snyder’s Dceu feels like a long-forgotten fever dream now that the new age of the Dcu dawns with James Gunn and Co. However, there was a time when Snyder’s unrealized plans for his DC films, which began with Henry Cavill’s Man of Steel, excited fans despite their polarizing response at the cinemas.
Snyder finished his run with the Dceu after Zack Snyder’s Justice League but revealed many of his initial plans for the franchise that included a five-film arc. Among other deviations from the comics, the filmmaker revealed that he planned to ground the origins of gods like Zeus and heroes like Wonder Woman in the reality of the films by making them Kryptonian.
