Quote from: Eric Plumrose on 27 June, 2017, 05:55:36 PMNo adaptation of anything is 'ever' necessary. But Snyder didn't even do that. It was just Cut. And Paste. With added gore and gratuitous violence.

Even if that is his natural inclination, neither the script the studio approved nor the producers, pointed him in any other direction. It was an exercise in excision by all involved.

The script, yes, was cobbled together. I'm unaware though of any diktats informing Snyder he had to lift visuals wholesale from the comic. Or that the ceiling of Moloch's vice-den absolutely had to drip with Grand Guignol on its clientele.
