Zack Snyder might be late to Instagram, but he wasted no time making his stance on one of DC’s most debated topics very clear: who’s the definitive Superman? While many, including myself, think James Gunn’s take on the Kryptonian hero improved on a lot of the problems we had with Snyder’s Man of Steel, the filmmaker, known for his fiercely loyal fanbase, made his debut on the social media platform this week and immediately used his first post to reaffirm who he sees as the definitive ranked Man of Steel.
In one of his first uploads, the 300 director shared a moody black-and-white behind-the-scenes photo of Cavill suited up from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, shot on his beloved Leica monochrome 50mm Noctilux lens. His Instagram post, which can be seen below, was captioned with a short, deliberate, and unmistakably on-brand caption from the Sucker Punch filmmaker: “Henry Cavill is Superman.”
