A caller who claimed to be "Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice" Director Zack Snyder called in to Detroit's 97.1 The Ticket's Stoney and Bill radio show reacting to 'disparaging comments' about Aquaman!

The hosts of a local Detroit radio show got a big surprise when no less than the director of "Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice" called them out when they were making 'disparaging comments' about Aquaman. Snyder pretty much confirmed Aquaman's presence in the movie, but he backtracks.

Movie website The Wrap confirmed (without explaining how) that it was indeed Zach Snyder:

"TheWrap has confirmed that it was indeed the 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' director on the phone call."

IO9 transcribed the conversation:

"Zack Snyder: I'm on my way to set right now, and I was listening to you guys on the radio. And ... you guys were disparaging (a little bit) Aquaman, just a teensy... I mean it didn't feel like hatred.

DJ: Yeah, we were questioning why he was involved.

I don't want to give anything away about the movie, or anything like that. But, Aquaman has some cool abilities that I think people are like, "Oh what does he talk to animals, because that seems like what he does, or fish or whatever?" The cool thing is, with Aquaman his trident (people don't realize this) that could cut the flesh of Superman, if they come in contact. That's a thing that's in the canon. He's super strong. Because of course he can exist at these super deep depths. So when he comes up here he's crazy strong. Not to say he's in my movie, or anything like that. He has the potential to be badass. That's all I'm saying."

Listen to the complete conversation here and decide whether it really is Zack.

Despite backtracking on the confirmation, the fact that he was concerned enough to make the phone call was probably proof enough that Aquaman would really be in the movie.
