Hi guys. Just want to ask a few questions about Goyer to the people who are much more knowledgeable than me on the subject. It's because I want to get my facts straight about him and his work, before passing any judgement:
(Also I'm not here to start any argument or looking for opinions, just legitimately want some facts)
1. Was Goyer or Nolan responsible for TDKT's different from the comics portrayal of Batman?
2. Was Zack Snyder or Goyer the one who decided to have Supes kill Zod?
3. Was Goyer responsible for the inadequate handling of events after the death of Zod in MOS?
4. Does Goyer like to stuff his own concepts onto superhero characters and not really understand their original themes as well as he should.
And for the record, I loved MOS, love ZS's work and don't really like Nolan's Batman portrayal (except Batman Begins).
In regards to number 4, you should watch this video

You could skip to the 20ish minute mark where he talks about the themes he used in Man of Steel but I think a large portion of the lecture/interview contains information about how he has handled his previous superhero properties. So I think this will be of interest to you.
