Superman, in fact, additionally very controversially snapped General Zod’s neck, which I didn’t fairly perceive why it was controversial, contemplating in Superman II General Zod can be killed within the Fortress of Solitude. Presumably, they depart his physique there. So when individuals had been like, ‘Hey, man, this ain’t Superman,’ I’m was like ‘I don’t know, Superman was killing individuals within the ‘70s and the ‘80s as well.”
