DC has been mishandling Superman since the days of Smallville.

They've rarely if ever had a clue what to do when it comes to adapting their properties.

Mr. Positive.

Is it better to screw up first then course-correct and make a great Universe? Or start off with a bang, like Marvel, but eventually can't keep it up at a high level?

Those who learn from their own mistakes are wise.
Those who learn from others mistakes are infinite genius.

Agreed, I really enjoyed Man of Steel, it could/should have been an amazing staying point for a DCU and it's still easily one of my favorite stand alone superhero movies, DC or Marvel.

@Forthas - they're idiots.
Why do u think DC is making it better now because they went to a proven commodity?

@Forthas - we're all aware you tell us 8 times a day, 2 times per article

@lazlodaytona - I can't get that image out my head now.

@lazlodaytona
Yeah exactly, they have layers, which makes em feel real, you know?

There are moments where parents have to be strict with their children and then there are times where you just shower em with love, that's just good parenting and life in general. :)

@DocSpock - exactly, I agree. Most people don't understand Superman and are uncritical consumers. Portraying Superman as a guy who is a cloying, saccharine, naive man-child who only does good because he doesn't know any better/is immature who is a simp whose world revolves around Lois, while also being a doofy sitcom dad, along with the "The S isn't an S, it means Hoper-man" nonsense instrad of being an S that Clark created for the costumed identity he created, doing away with the secret identity, is all some of the worst Superman takes I have ever seen.

These people will pretend that the George Reeves version was poorly acted, but I've been revisting it, and George Reeves (yes, George, not Christopher) did a fantastic job at playing a very accurate Superman and Clark Kent. His Clark was mild mannered, not a caricature. And his Superman did the right thing not out of naivite, but out of maturity, because he was a man who knew better, and was not simply sheltered/never exposed to any evil. That's what the comic book character is like. Contrast that with Hoechlin's over emotional man-childness and dependence on Lois Lane, the CW is a joke.

@HermanM -

Very good thoughts. I agree heartily with most of it. From 1961 on, I was watching those 50s Superman reruns every day.

I also thought Chris was excellent in the role. Superman 1 & 2 are what got the superhero movie ball rolling., I took my Dad to see them. He was a massive fan.

Hochlin was okay though he was pretty stiff. No one could make that soapy mush TV show look good.

Fingers crossed Corenswet can handle the role. I don't know anything about him.

@HermanM - I hope Gunn gives him kids one day so you self-implode.

@HermanM - How boring and a stagnant status quo.

@STINGRAY -

Well, Brosnahan is a high-quality actress. Tulloch is just a pretty face.
