  1. Man of Steel was the Superman film I had always wanted. I wanted a Superman film that showed off his human side more. The Christopher Reeve films were great in their own right, but I wanted to see a Superman movie that showcased more of Clark's internal struggles and MoS fulfilled that for me.

    Snyder's vision for Man of Steel's Superman was far bleaker than many were expecting. By focusing more on Superman's alien origins, it moved away from his more human side, literally alienating the character from much of his audience. This was achieved by making Cavill's Superman a far less hopeful character than Superman traditionally is, replacing...

    Part of the reason for Man of Steel's tonal shift is Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. Nolan worked as both a writer and producer on Man of Steel, and though the two superheroes' worlds are entirely separate entities, Nolan explained that he had approached them in very much the same way. This is understandable, given the critical and commerc...

    Fundamentally, Man of Steel couldn't be as grounded as the Dark Knight trilogy, which led to what appeared to be an overcorrection into grittiness. This made Man of Steel's Supermanfundamentally different from the character as traditionally presented - something which doomed Cavill's performance from the very start. He's a more serious, darker vers...

    Man of Steel established the foundation for the DCEU, and as such, it partially set the tone for the films that followed. As the DCEU's critical reception is often described as mixed (at best), Man of Steel seemingly has a lot to answer for, as many of the franchise's subsequent films have made some degree of use of its darker, self-serious tone.

    Perhaps the worst part of Superman's Man of Steel treatment is what it seems to say about Henry Cavill. Cavill delivered an excellent performance as Superman throughout his DCEU appearances to date, although his future in the franchise looks somewhat bleak. This perhaps evidences just how badly the DCEU handled Cavill's Superman, and how Warner Bro...

  2. Man of Steel had the balls to make Superman choose to kill a villain in exchange to save a family and end the brutal fight. All of this in one movie, and ppl didn't like it. I can understand the problems with BvS and ZSJL, but never with Man of Steel.

  4. Apr 5, 2024 · Zack Snyder was a controversial filmmaker for DC, yet many fans agree that Man of Steel got some aspects of Superman right. With a new Superman on the horizon, it's worth examining which aspects of the hero's previous solo film did the Man of Steel justice.

  6. Jun 14, 2013 · Zod isn't as amusingly effete in "Man of Steel" as he was in "Superman II", but he's not without humor, some of it inadvertent. Shannon, an expert in projecting self-defeating macho rage, makes Zod less of a straightforward evildoer than a tragically misguided antihero.
