Justice League’s Zack Snyder Hit With Copyright Claim Over Batman Tweet

The plot thickens.

Justice League director Zack Snyder has been hit with a copyright claim over his controversial Batman tweet.

Last week, a controversy arose surrounding the animated Harley Quinn series which riled up many across the internet and various message boards. Creator Justin Halpern wanted an intimate scene between Batman and Catwoman, but Warner Bros. shut the scene down as it would reflect poorly on The Dark Knight’s toys sale. It was an odd denial considering that the Harley Quinn series is meant for adults, and is filled with raunchy, mature jokes. Once Halpern revealed that the Batman and Catwoman scene was shelved, a flurry of fans began to protest online, with director Zack Snyder joining in.

Taking to Twitter, Justice League director Zack Snyder shared an image of Batman and Catwoman in the intimate position described by the Harley Quinn creator. Fans rejoiced at Snyder’s stance on the controversy but it appears that Warner Bros. wasn’t a big fan of it. The image, which can’t seem to be found in comic books and was likely commissioned by Snyder himself, was removed “in response to a report from the copyright holder.” In response to the notice, Justice League director posted a screenshot of the copyright notice on Vero with the caption “If I Advance”. It sure is a daring move on Warner Bros. part considering how many DC fans have sided with Zack Snyder throughout the year.

Here is the synopsis for Zack Snyder’s Justice League:

“In ZACK SNYDER’S JUSTICE LEAGUE, determined to ensure Superman’s (Henry Cavill) ultimate sacrifice was not in vain, Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) aligns forces with Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) with plans to recruit a team of metahumans to protect the world from an approaching threat of catastrophic proportions. The task proves more difficult than Bruce imagined, as each of the recruits must face the demons of their own pasts to transcend that which has held them back, allowing them to come together, finally forming an unprecedented league of heroes. Now united, Batman (Affleck), Wonder Woman (Gadot), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), Cyborg (Ray Fisher) and The Flash (Ezra Miller) may be too late to save the planet from Steppenwolf, DeSaad and Darkseid and their dreadful intentions.”
