Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice might have disappointed many, but there are many others who loved it. And Suicide Squad director David Ayer falls into the latter group! In a recent interview with Joblo, he speaks highly of the March 25 release and its director, saying:
I liked it a lot. I love Zack; he is probably the biggest fan of DC Comics. He has an incredible passion in a very specific way, a specific take on it.
Ayer further praises Batman v Superman and Zack Snyder by saying that the movie was "absolutely stunning", and the director is "an amazing visualist". However, he does hint that the audience’s response to the movie will have an impact on the director and his next project, Justice League. According to the Suicide Squad director:
He’s a smart guy, and I think he heard everybody; he heard them loud and clear, and you grow and you evolve.
When asked if he would want to continue working in the DC Extended Universe, and if he has another Suicide Squad story to tell, here's how Ayer responds:
It is sort of addictive, I’ll tell you that. Having all these resources and working at this scale, and it is great to work on something that gets so much attention. We’ll see. We made this really cool, crazy film family; let’s see where the journey takes us and see how the fans respond to the film.
During the interview, the director is asked what DC Comics character he would like to work on if everything was on the table. In response, he reveals that he loves Superman and thinks it would be "amazing" to explore the character.
However, he adds that this universe is so "insanely rich", and there is "so much depth to it", that he could pick many other characters too.
