I am right.
That scene still blows my mind. I rather he died from a heart attack

that is such a cool cover for batman and robin eternal. damn. grayson da gawd.
The view on Superman is conflicted though. Many view him as a messiah while other see him as a threat.
Superman doesn't always save the day though. Plenty of his defining moments are failing to save the day and still keep it moving to try the next.
Being Superman means he doesn't have a normal life. The sameway Bruce Wayne can't have a normal life since he's Batman, Peter Parker can't since he's Batman, etc. They feel obligated to do it once they start.
In MoS he still wanted to learn more from Jor-El and the idea of not feeling alone was, slightly, alluring to him.
It was the main series, regular, post-crisis canon Supes who did it; it was the Zod from an alternate universe Krypton though. (At the time, DC wanted Superman to really be the last survivor from Krypton, so they brought in a Zod from an alternate universe.) Zod and his lackeys basically destroyed the earth from that universe, so Superman decided they were too dangerous.
So he executed them.

Trailer was amazing but that doesn't mean shit. Snyder is probably the best director of trailers than anyone on the planet.
I'm still not getting hyped plus.
Luthor is awful.

Luthor is awful.
How do you know the Superman heat vision and Batman grappling are not spliced from two different scenes?
Yes.
Tim got a classic Silver Age esque detective costume in his original series, who thought it was a good idea to give him a falcon costume? How does this reflect his character at all?

Him dying from a heart attack was what showed Clark that even with all his power he couldn't save everyone. Until he turned back time that is.
This is why that scene absolutely sucks. Clark did have the power to save him
I still remember how amazing that scene was in Smallville.
The Robin War cover is pretty good too
Considering how bad Smallville could be at times, they actually did really well with that episode.

One of the greatest trailers I've ever seen. The cinematography and music alone are absolutely tremendous.
And he could have done it in such a way people would not have noticed.

I just love that General Zod is wearing space panties.

Naw, having him choose Lana over Pops ultimately proven worthless as he ended up with Lois in the end.
Superman The Movie had PA Kent's death handled the best.
Wrong thread my friend lol
I really don't understand how someone can enjoy conversing the way you're going about it. No matter what anyone says...you're going to draw another circle.
I know you've heard of "the greater good" argument. You had an inexperienced superman fighting a group of others who were just as powerful as he (superman) with the added bonuses of the baddies being combat savvy and wanting to take over the world in the middle of a big ass city.
You're dragging the convo down pretending you can't see that in this fake fictional superhero movie.
Have Bat-extended-family runs ever do well? I know DC tried many times (e.g. Batman Inc).
Anything is an improvement over condom-head.
tabbed browsing was a mistake, it's nothing but trash
And she went to sleep with his worst enemy afterwords. I hate Lana so much so much

To be honest... meh.
I mean, I don't really get why Superman is fighting Batman and I don't care about Clark Kent after the awful first movie. Batman is getting rebooted so... we'll have to watch his parents being shot again.
Besides, Batman, Robin, Superman, (incredibly dull) Lex, Zod, Wonder Woman... too many characters for a single movie imho.
Soooo... meh. I don't think this movie is for me I guess :/

Welp, I'm going to watch Man of Steel tonight. So hyped!
The cowl fit his character a lot more than the mechanical fucking wings do, also you do know that Batman's costume is the same thing with the ears right?

I thought it was supposed to be Newark.
Isn't the population too small? And does Newark have a sizable mob presence?
TAS was intentionally made to seem outside any one time period.
With the rampant amounts of crime and corruption in Gotham, I associated it wth things like Serpico.
Two of those characters are dead and Marvel prove you can have multiple Heroes in a movie and make it work

I'm saying its a terrible idea to make your fake fictional Superman a terrible hero that lets thousands of people die, because then you can't make a compelling Lex Luthor villain because everyone in the world should be of tne same mind as Lex Luthor. My original post was about how baffling it is that they went with this depressing tone for a Superman movie, and how ridiculous it is that Lex is supposed to be a villain in the world they've created.

Wait til justice league comes out. The amount of characters will blow your mind just like the avengers did.
I can't imagine they'd be doing a sequel to Batman Eternal if the first year didn't do well for them. Quality-wise, it had its ups and downs. Was never really that bad ever. Just a single Bat-family book. Also it helped reinvent Catwoman for her own series once Genevieve Valentine took over (and has been rad, ever since).

4 characters in a movie is too many characters.
None of this is correct.
Are you sure you were paying attention when the movie was on?
Hell Civil War is going to have more people than Justice League.
He is easily confused.

Absolutely, specially when you have to tell who the fuck they are in a single movie.
Your point of view is warped
General Zod and his machine did 99.9999% of the damage to Metropolis
It was not Superman pounding the earth into oblivion with a spaceship with peoples bodies being lifted and slammed into the ground
Superman put an end to the machine and saved the entirety of the planet, and then put an end to Zod in order to stop the killing.
He did not let anyone die. This is a completely warped reading of the Man of Steel.
Four characters is too many
Guardians of The Galaxy establishes more than that in one movie and nobody gave it shit
Okay

Can we just let this talk of MoS destruction go? Just let it go. It's been two years.

How? Marvel doesn't own like half the characters from the original story.
Holy shit.
It's not going away, especially since it's a plot device for BvS
It's a ridiculous talking point that continuously gets parroted, despite there being overwhelming visual narrative proof in the film that it is false.
It's incredible, because it's at once a reinforcement that Kevin Costner's Pa Kent was 100% right (and surprise most people saying Superman is responsible for all the destruction are the same who think Pa Kent was compeltely wrong in his thinking and how he raised Clark) and hilarious because it's the kind of thing that Lex Luthor would want people to believe. Script flaws be damned, Man of Steel actually becomes retroactively even better due to some audience reaction actually reinforcing in movie character philosophies.
