But it's true. It's very hard to make a Superman movie work well, since Superman can do ANYTHING, and Man of Steel just didn't do a good job.

But he caaaan't. (Frustrated sigh) The nuances of telling Superman stories lie in detailing how he struggles between what he CAN do, what he CAN'T do, what he HAS to do, and how he manages to balance it all and still somehow have a life for himself. It's really pretty friggin' complicated, which is why whenever people say Superman's story lacks pathos, I know they personally have never read any, or at least none of the good ones.
There are days - many of them - where I feel like only about five people alive really understand Superman at all. I'm well aware how people perceive the character, but most of the time, they're pretty far off the mark.

Problem with Superman is finding right balance for the character. He should be extremely fine tuned to work well.
Personally, I think this task was failure as of late. Not because of MOS, but just how people perceive the character at large. |

I am interested in both Marvel and DC's future line-up, but I will say that for whatever reason, DC movies feel more legit artistically. That sounds stupid, but it's like the directors/production teams put more of a personal stamp on DC films. The recent crop of Marvel adaptations are really great, but they feel a little flat and generic.
The Nolan Batman movies couldn't be more Nolany if Christopher Nolan played every part himself. Burton's Batman is totally different from Doner's Superman, or *gulp* Joel Schumacher's Batman. Even Man of Steal, which I didn't really care for, was visually compelling and reeked of Zac Snyder's style (for better or worse). I like stuff like that.

I'm surprised how many people are looking forward to the Marvel line up, the only thing that interests me is Avengers 3 and Captain America 3 due to Iron Man's plot
Maybe I'm more of a fan if DC characters though, I did love Spider Man and X Men and now Iron Man. Kind of liked fantastic four other than that. The DC characters draw me in more though, I'm really looking forward to The Flash film and Justice League film, a bunch of new shows in the works that I'm looking forward to as well, starting with the Teen Titans series |
