Y'know what's funny about the Fleischer cartoons, is that there's a ton of people who take points off of the Snyder movies because "Superman barely talks", they literally sit there counting the words he speaks like that's a big huge thing... and in those cartoons, some of the earliest cross-medium representation of the character and in fact the first time millions of people who didn't read comics were exposed to him... the guy barely says two words AS Superman. Clark speaks fairly often, "Superman" says almost nothing.
It's just something that jumped out at me over time. In many Year One iterations of Superman - and the Snyder movies ARE Year One Superman - he doesn't actually talk much when he's "working". The fact that he comes off as aloof and mysterious during that period is always a plot point. He's not supposed to go around giving big dramatic Rah-Rah speeches until he's been around a couple of years.
I don't know. Whenever anyone says anything about wishing Superman talked more in the movies, I'm like "Look at the Fleischer cartoons, they're incredible and the guy barely says two words." ((shrug))
