If it's part of the lore then what's the issue? I just don't think you like the character, which is fine, but I don't get why you try to ruin it for everyone else.

And Bizarro Superman can work if it's done well. It's a simple yet effective premise if it's handled right.

"But Snyder and WB will never tell any story well. They're dumb."

There you go. I saved you the trouble of replying.

I adore the real Superman. Not this cold, distant Pseudoman Snyder stuck us with. I wanted to have a cinematic Superman for my generation, and I still don't have one between Singer and Snyder. The Superman of my generation is the Bruce Timm's animated Superman, because its becoming increasingly clear that no one who actually makes movies knows how to do Superman well.

It's because of his reputation as "The Big Blue Boy Scout" Captain America is 1,000 times more of a Boy Scout than Superman is, and yet never gets saddled with that moniker like it is a bad thing.

It's not cool to like Superman.

For the record, I am not opposed to the concept they are using for Superman...one who is finding his place in an alien world. One who is a little more distant, I'm cool with that as a version of his Origin story.

The problem is that they never show him being heroic. Not a single scene in either film shows him saving anyone (Other than Lois) in the Superman suit. He has one shot of flying into frame with a girl from a fire, but nothing of him actually saving her...just implying he did...it's far more important to Snyder for the people to be shown worshiping him.

The most "Superman" moment in either film is the fantastic Oil Rig sequence...which is before he becomes Superman.
