What the speakers say it drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

The Social Network: 2 lines the maker said so ×1 the host's read ×1

  1. theme (character template): The Social Network ⇒ Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (the maker said so). Snyder's reported reasoning: the modern-day Lex Luthor would be Mark Zuckerberg.
    “yeah, the modern day Lex Luthor would be Mark Zuckerberg.”

Gone Girl: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. people (led to casting): Gone Girl ⇒ Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (the host's read). While making Gone Girl, Affleck reportedly joked to his agent that he needed a heroic-chin movie after the evil-chin one.
    “the joke was the chin things in the script, he calls up his agent, while making Gone Girl, and says, like, I'm doing the evil chin movie now, you got to find me a heroic chin movie.”

Max Landis: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. people (performance model): Max Landis ⇒ Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (the host's read). David's pet theory is that Eisenberg chose to play Max Landis as Lex Luthor.
    “It also feels like he chose to play Max Landis more than he chose to play.”

  1. craft (craft): Man of Steel → Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. BvS's newscaster lines patching the Metropolis destruction from Man of Steel show DC's lack of confidence.

Shazam!: 1 line contrast ×1

  1. contrast (contrast): Shazam! → Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Fennessey says Shazam!'s tone differs significantly from Superman versus Batman and the Justice League films.

The Incredible Hulk: 1 line craft ×1

  1. craft (craft): Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice → The Incredible Hulk. The Abomination, like BvS's Doomsday, looks like a mud monster with no texture.
    “It's the same problem as Doomsday in Batman versus Superman, where it's just like, he just looks like a mud monster.”

The Lego Batman Movie: 1 line contrast ×1

  1. contrast (contrast): The Lego Batman Movie → Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Seeing Batman and Superman together here does not provoke the same cynicism as it did in Batman v Superman.
    “I don't give a shit, like, about in the same way I did in Batman V Superman.”

Zack Snyder: 1 line verdict ×1

  1. verdict (verdict): Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice → Zack Snyder. BvS underperformed because Snyder's vision is specific and does not cross over to kids.
    “BVS does not make a $1000000000, which it should objectively.”
