In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time. Clark Kent/Kal-El (Henry Cavill) is a young twenty-something journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond his imagination. Transported years ago to Earth from Krypton, a highly advanced, distant planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question ‘Why am I here?’ Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (Diane Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Kevin Costner), Clark discovers having extraordinary abilities means making difficult decisions. When the world is in dire need of stability, an even greater threat emerges. Clark must become a Man of Steel, to protect the people he loves and shine as the world’s beacon of hope – Superman.

Yeah he is too super that it makes him a bit harder to like. Like he's great at everything but has one deadly weakness. Just make some kryptonite armor.

hes also too goody goody and in general just lame. the costume is lame, his story is kind of lame. overall, lame.

Even though I'm not a big superman fan, he's still one of the most easily recognizable superheros. I'd say he's even more of a household name than Batman.

hitler is pretty easily recognizable too.

It looks like someone took a picture of that scene off screen and then added a lens flare to it.

Quote from Christopher Nolan

Quote:

I wouldn’t want people to think we’re doing for Superman what we did for Batman. It’s very much Zack’s film and I think people are going to love what he’s done. I think it’s really remarkable to take on that character. Superman is a completely different character than Batman. So you can’t in anyway use the same template. But David Goyer had this, I thought, brilliant way to make Superman relatable and relevant for his audience. Zack has built on that and I think it’s incredible what he’s putting together. He’s got a lot of finishing to do on that. Superman is the biggest comic book character of them all and he needs the biggest possible movie version which is what Zack’s doing. It’s really something.

yeah you just cant go into superman expecting it to be like the new batman series. that's what all thes other comic book type shows are doing and it doesn't work.

it doesn't work, because batman is the only badass among them. superman is lame and so are most of the other superheroes.

i was reading through this giant, crazy pop up book my son has, and its all the DC heroes and explaining who they are and whatnot. you're right. there is some fucking dumb ass super heroes. i hate that there is like three Flashes. Each one is the Flash for a different reason. like, what's the possibility of there beig three different Flashes from the same story line that each get their powers of speed from all these different ways. then there is this ape guy.

i do like superman though.

hes just such a big pussy, his costume is queer and he has like a zillion powers. im sorry, in RL they would just light him up with krypto bullets and call it a day.

To be fair, this would happen to most superheroes.

Johnny Manf · **Posted:** December, 5, 2012 - 3:52pm

And not everyone in the world knows his weakness is Kryptonite. Nor do they have access to it.

IratePrimate · **Joined:** June, 12, 2006 - 12:32pm **Posts:** 9540

right, cause if a super powerful alien came down and started doing stuff, the government wouldn't immediately find a way to kill it just in case. only lex luthor would know how and he wouldn't share that info with anyone... stupid.. just like his "disguise" and his overall existence. fuck superman.

Russell Casse · **Posted:** December, 5, 2012 - 4:49pm

I agree. Superman is a shitty super hero.

I am not actually turned off by this...

Louie B · **Posted:** December, 11, 2012 - 2:32pm

Fuck you guys if had to choose one super hero to pick powers you'd pick Superman cause he has everything. I always wonder if I picked a hero who I'd want to be but it comes down to being Superman because of the plethora of powers. If some how I woke up with all those powers I sure as shit wouldn't help humanity.

Hey fuck YOU pal.

Edit...the movie looks great.

Louie B · **Posted:** December, 11, 2012 - 2:38pm

HAHAHA. I'm just mad cause I wish I had all of these powers.

Flight
Invulnerability
Superhuman Strength
Superhuman Speed
Super vision, consisting of:
X-Ray Vision
Telescopic/Microscopic Vision
Heat Vision
Infrared Vision
Super-hearing
Super Breath (including Freeze Breath)
Eidetic memory
Longevity
Super Olfaction)
Enhanced Lung Capacity
I wouldn't complain about having all of them.
Aside from most movies where he fights Luthor I want to see Superman bust up some people with sonic boom punches and shit. Superman is kind of a hard character to relate to but I want to be him because of all the power! And Lois Lane would be the last concern on my list. I'd be sleeping with every woman and bow to no man!!!

Pretty much I'd be ZOD!
