This morning, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice director Zack Snyder called the Detroit radio station 97.1 The Ticket.

He didn't care for that one bit and felt obligated to give them a ring in order to defend the King of the Seven Seas. Click on link below to listen.

On air, when he was asked “Is this Zack Snyder?” he said “Hey, it’s Zack, yeah. … Yeah, yeah I’m on my way to the set right now and I was listening to you guys on the radio.” HEAR THE COMPLETE INTERVIEW HERE. Zack said Aquaman’s cool ability is that he could “cut the flesh of Superman if they came in contact … he’s super strong … It’s not to say that he’s in the movie or anything like that but … he has the potential to be badass.”
