Snyder likes watchmen and like many others with watch men the dark knight and simular books, compltely misunderstood the point and the critcisms made and took it as " this is how super heroes should be " and now he's or he was in the directors chair.
It won't, he will make it just as bad as any of his superhero movies have been.
Because they didn't put that much thought into the story.
He's never mentioned by name in the Theatrical cut. He does get named in the Ultimate Edition though, so pick your option. Since Dick is never named as the Robin either, there's really no rule that says those are the two that were killed "as presented" to the audience in future movies. So yeah, it's all a big nothing, who cares now?
During the Senate bombing. She was played by Tao Okamoto
Lex blew her up at the congressional meeting. No, it doesn't make sense why she was there and why he'd do that.
So did everyone else. Which was fine after the fact. Zack left it vague so they could still play with the characters in case they went ahead with his universe. The only time we find out that it's Dick is from his Vero messages, so again, it's a moot point.
No... that was just a fan rumor from people that hated the look of Leto's Joker.
We're gonna do this again?
Again... Zack's vision for his universe AT THE TIME was for a 5 movie arc and that was it. He was telling a specific story with a specific version of these characters and world.
So yes, people were going to die that wouldn't normally die, like Jimmy Olson or Dick Grayson. This happens in comics ALL THE TIME.
Quote from Zack himself regarding Jimmy
Zack was also going to introduce Carrie Kelly as the new Robin, but he never got the chance.
Oh it'd be messy as hell, but it'd at least help explain why we've got a Batman in BvS that acts nothing like Batman and is a dick.
Also, DKR (and Watchmen) are "end of the road" in tone. They're meant to be a grim dystopian vibe. Meanwhile they were trying to use BvS, a very loose stylistic adaptation of DKR, to kick off an extended universe (by also killing off one of their biggest characters in another very loose very bad adaptation of one of DC's darker storylines).
This is completely unrelated but for some reason this reminded me of when Rocksteady said Arkham Knight was a new character and not Jason Todd or Red Hood. Then he was totally Red Hood and Jason Todd.
That's what I'm trying to say here... It WASN'T going to be a universe at first. It was going to be a 5 movies. And then they'd start again. They were trying to be different than what Marvel was doing and WB changed course mid way through which fucked everything up.

Well we'll never know unless WB execs or Zack goes into more detail. But I wouldn't be shocked if WB's original plans were to do a bunch of mini arcs with new actors playing the roles every 5-7 years to avoid the "how do we keep Cavil as Superman for 10 movies and 20 years and he doesn't age?" problem.
Which works fine with comic runs that can be alternate universes/different versions/one-offs/what-ifs and it's fine, but when you're trying to create a consistent universe it's just messy.
This movie is so much better than BvS.Just as a general reminder: for anyone when angered/frustrated by Snyderverse stuff that's dredged up periodically, just watch the animated film version of this
and then watch each dcau series after to see characters get their due
