Zack Snyder Trolls Unsuspecting Comedian Who Tries to Roast Him

TikTok video footage revealed a comedian trying to roast a member of his audience, only to embarrassingly realize that person was director Zack Snyder.
Titled 'Roasting a Famous Audience Member,' the video by Kyle Rehl begins with Kyle mocking audience member "Zack" for his tone after reluctantly announcing his first name to the crowd. "It's like 'Hello? How many times to I have to answer this?!!'" he remarked, adding, "Oh we're going to a crowd work show? That sounds like fun. No one better f*cking ask me my name."

Things then get awkward when Rehl asked about Zack's profession, learning that he's a movie director. Shocked and skeptical when Synder doesn't elaborate on his filmography, Rehl's left briefly stunned upon realizing he's been roasting the director behind 300 and Man of Steel. He then attempts to patch things up by saying he could play a good Robin and that "we need a Robin franchise bud." Thankfully, Snyder appeared to take the joke in good faith, as Rehl's video ends with a photo of the two smiling together.
Recently, Snyder announced that he was teaming up with HBO Max to release a long-theorized "Synder Cut" of 2017’s Justice League. While the Synder Cut will not require any reshoots, it's still unclear whether this version of Justice League will be released with an extended runtime or as a miniseries.
Justice League stars Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Ciarán Hinds as Steppenwolf, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor and J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon. Zack Snyder's Justice League will premiere exclusively on HBO Max in early to mid-2021.
