Scott Snyder (born 1976) is a comic book author, best known for his Creator/VertigoComics indie series ''ComicBook/AmericanVampire'' and his run on Franchise/{{Batman}}. Snyder cut his teeth with his short story ''Voodoo Heart'' before doing his first comic work with {{Creator/Marvel}} in ''ComicBook/IronMan: [[FilmNoir Noir]]''. He eventually joined Vertigo and in collaboration with Creator/StephenKing wrote the [[http://www.comicsalliance.com/2011/07/23/comic-con-eisner-award-winners-2011/ Eisner Award-winning]] ''ComicBook/AmericanVampire''. He went on to write 11 issues of ''ComicBook/DetectiveComics'' to critical acclaim.

He wrote the ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' main title for the duration of the ComicBook/New52 relaunch, including the critically acclaimed arcs ''ComicBook/NightOfTheOwls'', ''ComicBook/DeathOfTheFamily'', ''ComicBook/BatmanZeroYear'', and ''ComicBook/BatmanEndgame''. He also wrote the first 18 issues of the New 52 ''ComicBook/SwampThing'', which was similarly acclaimed, and ''ComicBook/SupermanUnchained'', one of the most positively received Superman stories of the New 52. In 2017, he returned alongside Greg Capullo to write the quite dark 2017 CrisisCrossover ''ComicBook/DarkNightsMetal'', and went on to write the ''[[ComicBook/JusticeLeague2018 Justice League]]'' main title that headlined the current ''ComicBook/DCUniverse'' initiative, which deals with the fallout and consequences of ''Metal''. He, alongside Greg Capullo once more, later wrote the Creator/DCBlackLabel three-issue miniseries ''ComicBook/BatmanLastKnightOnEarth'', which serves as an effective "finale" to his Batman run. In 2020, he and Greg Capullo teamed up once again to create ''ComicBook/DarkNightsDeathMetal'', the culmination of [[ComicBook/JusticeLeague2018 his current]] [[ComicBook/DCYearOfTheVillain saga]].

* ADayInTheSpotlight: James Gordon, Jr., Jim's [[TheSociopath psychotic son.]]
* AnimalMotifs: Killer Whales and Vultures in ''Detective Comics''.
** Owls in ''Franchise/{{Batman}}''.
** Snakes in ''ComicBook/AmericanVampire'', the most obvious being the rattlesnake fangs the American species possesses.
* {{Determinator}}: Dick Grayson in "The Black Mirror" certainly qualifies. When The Dealer sends his plane to an altitude that the flying Batmobile can't reach, Dick Grayson ''flies'' in a special suit up to the plane.
* GoodIsNotDumb / GoodIsNotSoft: Both Dick Grayson and Bruce Wayne are portrayed this way as Batman during Snyder's runs.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Boy howdy, are they!
* PromotedFanboy: Huge fan of ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' and ''Franchise/{{Superman}}''.
* RuleOfCool: As his DC works continued, it became clear that Snyder was increasingly embracing the insanity of superhero comic books.

* SlasherSmile: His ''Detective Comics'' run has ''plenty'' of them: from the orcas to the cover of [[https://www.comics.org/issue/863588/cover/4/ Detective Comics #880]].
** ComicBook/TheJoker. Of course.
* SteamPunk: the villain of the ''Gates of Gotham'' miniseries runs around in SteamPunk PowerArmor.
* TeamDad: To the current writers of the Bat-Family. James Tynion IV and Marguerite Bennett at least began as his students in Sarah Lawrence and he gave them their first jobs in comics co-writing with him the Batman Annuals #1 and #2 respectively.

* DarkerAndEdgier / LighterAndSofter: Oddly enough, his run on Franchise/{{Batman}} features both. In spite of all the horrible things Batman is forced to endure during his run, Snyder's rendition of him is noticeably more quippy and light-hearted than previous stoic portrayals.
