Zach Snyder calls in to a local Detroit radio station in defense of Aquaman on his way to the Batman v Superman set:

“You guys were disparaging — a little bit — Aquaman … just a teensy [...] I don’t want to, like, giving 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?’ Snyder said. “Y’know, the cool thing is that with Aquaman, his trident — people don’t realize this — that could actually cut the flesh of Superman, if they came in contact. That’s a thing that’s in the canon. And he’s super-strong, because of course, he can exist at these super-deep depths, so when he comes up here it’s like he’s crazy strong.


“But, anyway,” he continued, “not to say he’s in my movie, or anything like that, he’s just pretty badass — he has the potential to be badass. That’s all I’m saying.”


Yes, Zack, that’s all you’re saying. TheWrap confirmed it was indeed Snyder calling. You can listen to the exchange here.
