Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice hade en god dos serietidningsstryk att bjuda på om man gillade Batfleck, men även om det var en bättre superhjälteupplevelse än Man of Steel kan nog många hålla med om att det inte var en vidare bra film i sig, där exempelvis den ökända Martha-scenen har förlöjligats för sin klumpighet. Filmskaparen Zack Snyder - som återigen är aktuell med Justice League-filmen - passade på att förklara tanken bakom just denna scen när han tog ett snack med Youtube-gruppen I Minutemen:
"Clearly I am a fan of, and am very interested in how 'Martha,' that concept is central to the film. I mean, it's 100% the lynchpin that holds the entire movie together. I think it's indicative of the way that Batman v Superman was received that its central tenant was sort of belittled and made fun of. I personally think it is like this beautiful and incredibly symmetrical idea that it completely finishes it as a concept. It all is 100% with intent and intention to be all the images that you see, as far as their inspiration and stuff like that."
Han fortsatte:
"I'm certain there's a lot of cinematic references that we have, as well as classical, and Citizen Kane certainly would be among the things that we would and do look at as iconographic benchmarks that people would be able to link into as a way to help with a secondary storyline. That is to say that the images exist here, but the images they evoke are deeper. It's like every image that you see - and we endeavored carefully - that each image you could take a dive on and find, whether it be a cinematic reference or whether it be mythological or historical, we really try and support the movies in that way as much as possible."
