Is Warner Bros. Using The Barbie Movie To Troll Christopher Nolan & Zack Snyder Fans?

The ongoing feud between Barbie and Oppenheimer rages on. But it seems that a bit of collateral damage is now on the menu, as we learned in a recent Nerdist interview with Barbie’s director, Greta Gerwig, that there will be a joke in the movie poking fun at Zack Snyder fans. While the interview never explicitly reveals that Snyder is the butt of the joke in this case (only referring to a “particular fandom online”), it’s made fairly obvious by the fact the interviewer asks if Gerwig gets a free pass because Margot Robbie is part of the DCEU.

As Warner Bros. moves past the DCEU and into the DCU, the studio seems to not be interested in pulling any punches. Jokes about the Snyderverse are usually met with heated online discourse, and the latest Greta Gerwig interview is no exception. Fans from both sides of the argument were quick to voice their thoughts on social media, and that’s even before we even know what the joke is even about.

Cries of “#BoycottBarbie” and “Barbie > Zack” were among some of the most liked comments, while some more sensible users just agreed that Gerwig has the right to joke about whatever she wants in her movie.

Some online commentators still consider the push for the release of the Snyder Cut to be a demonstration of the fandom’s “toxicity.” While the campaign was unlike anything the internet had seen so far – leading to the release of a revamped and improved cut of a flawed movie – Snyder fans can be notable for their fervent devotion to their favorite filmmaker. However, calling the entire fandom “toxic” for the actions of a vocal minority would be disingenuous, to say the least.
