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.

I like the new Superman approach enough to be interested for the future. I don't know if it was the right way to go, but I also think they've added a layer of complexity that wasn't there previously. It's an experiment that I can admire for ambition.

As for the Bruce Timm Justice League, I love it as well. Somehow he portrayed every character absolutely perfectly and he portrayed the team dynamic better than anything ever, other than maybe The Avengers in 2012.

The Donner movies are great. They are both classics. Yet if they were released today, they would flop hard. I wouldn't want it that way, but the audience is just different now. That's why WB decided to shake up Superman, for better or worse.

No, they added more angst. That is not the same thing as complexity. Bruce Timm's Superman had ten times the depth of Snyder's Pseudoman. What ambition? They were just copying Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy? There was no experimenting around. They thought they had a sure thing.

I'll say it again: if Marvel can make Captain America cool, WB/DC can make Superman, as he's intended to be, cool as well. I'm not budging.
