And while yes, in this universe Clark isn't the perfect boyscout and he's still figuring out who he is, I'm not interested in that interpretation. Superman shouldn't have to cross the line to figure out where it is as he did in Man of Steel.

This movie just seems like the studio's way of saving face for all the destruction and Superman's actions while saying "Look! It was our plan all along! This WHOLE NEXT MOVIE is about how all the stuff that you didn't like was done on purpose!" while also shoving in Batman to guarantee sales.

Just bleh. I really want to be excited. Its Batman and Superman on screen together for the first time!! And I love those characters. But this isn't Superman to me. This is a weird untrustworthy alien stranger wearing his cape.

It really blows my mind that people just throw out the reality that up until Zod, Superman had never been in a fight. He was always told by Pa Kent to not fight back. So it's like in Iron Man. When Jeff Bridges character gets in that suit for the first time, and even though we watched Tony Stark go through a period of trial and error and learning how to use the suit, Bridges' character pops in there and he's a pro in the suit. In Man of Steel we see the evolution of Zod overcoming new powers and abilities on Earth, and we see Superman learning to fight, and save the world at the same time. Too much stock is put in the fact Metropolis was destroyed, and Zod was killed. In reality there is no way Superman was going to be able to avoid the destruction. Zod is equal to him. They BOTH just recently learned to fly. Zod most likely had been in some fights. Superman had not. Also, Zod was going to kill an innocent family. So you'd rather Superman let an innocent family die instead of kill Zod?

I listened to a Zack Snyder interview he did before the movie was released, but they released the interview the weekend of the release. He talked about how if they get a sequel it will be based around the destruction, and his killing of Zod. So it's not some thing they just made up after the movie came out and there was concern about people's reactions. They are building a universe. All these stories, like in Marvel's must run together.

Batman is introduced because of Man of Steel, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, they even say in the Suicide Squad trailer, these people with power were inspired by Superman. So you couldn't be more wrong.
