Yup, not to mention his titan run was awful.

Fortunately I liked him in Batman Eternal.

Speaking of...

Cass is finally returning too.
 
And I honestly don't know why anyone who just experienced Kryptonian 9/11 should care about that. In the public eye, Superman has done nothing but harm. Less harm than he could have I'll admit.
The view on Superman is conflicted though. Many view him as a messiah while other see him as a threat.

The whole "Superman is good but people don't know if they should trust him" but only works in comic books when Superman always saves the day. When you try to make a Superman movie realistic for some reason that gets ruined because Superman isn't realistic, and you end up with a Superman movie that's depressing.

What were they thinking?

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.


Hey wait no Jor El told him everything he wanted to know

And he still leads a regular life, just also as Superman. If anything he's in a better place now because he has a steady job instead of drifting everywhere.
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.
 
iirc, Zod is the only time he killed in the comics, and it was for the same reason. however, i think it was in an alternate universe when he did it.

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

And he could have done it in such a way people would not have noticed.
 
That bit with Superman's soldiers really makes me want a Red Son adaptation. It would be pointless and probably make no money, but that Soviet Batman design is too cool.

I just love that General Zod is wearing space panties.
 
Just watched the trailer. Cautiously optimistic about this one, the trailer didn't do as much for me as I hoped but it has potential.

Though, it doesn't help that I'm not a big fan of Zack Snyder.
 
"I'm sorry your family died m'am, but good news! More people didn't die!"

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.
 
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 :/
 
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.
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?

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).

None of this is correct.

Are you sure you were paying attention when the movie was on?

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