Superman doesn't need big, mythological threats as such, but Zod sure as hell sets the stage for things better than Lex does. With Zod on Earth, humanity has a plausible reason to be equal parts afraid and hopeful with regards to Superman. Yeah he seems to be a benevolent god-like figure, but Zod has shown us the other side of the coin. What he could be. This makes a second movie using Lex work a lot better, because now he's not just a cackling rear end in a top hat, he's someone with legitimate grounds for his fears and mistrust. If they play up the Lex Luthor: Man of Steel angle of the character he could work fantastically for a second film. Personally I have a lot of faith in this movie. It's Goyen and Nolan's brainchild and they gave me Dark Knight Rises. I'm giving them a chance.

Bob Quixote posted:I'm guessing its the fact that an incredibly serious issue like that would be better served in a movie where the protagonist wasn't an alien in a cape. Of all people to handle serious issues like the one mentioned, Superman would work pretty well. Sure, we can have some grey as hell movie that wins Cannes where we see the horror of child trafficking, but at some point I think people would want to see the perfect solution, where all the children are saved and this doesn't happen any more. Superman allows for the latter. Maybe a bad comparison, but it's a bit like Inglourious Basterds, where it just takes the premise to its most extreme conclusion. A catharsis of some sort.

A Superman story where Superman is a serial child molester. All the world's authorities are powerless to stop him from molesting thouands, nay millions of children, so society adapts by normalizing child rape because the only alternative would be to live in constant horror. Really makes you think about superheroes and moral relativism and stuff

Superman 4 is god awful but the part that made the most uncomfortable is when he mind rapes Lois by revealing his idenity talking to her then kissing her so she forgets, and you get the implication that this is a common occurence.

Well, you can just pretend that Superman IV is not canon. That way Superman only lobotomizes Lois once while she was pregnant with his child.

Wapole Languray posted:This is also why so many people think Superman is boring. They limit him to realistic conflicts, because they try and put Space Moses in the same box as SWAT Zorro. It's kind of hard not to considering how closely linked the two characters have been. Hawkguy wouldn't work if he was roommates with Doctor Strange for much the same reason.

Regarding Luthor, my personal hope is that the President is given updates but never shown throughout the movie, until the very end, when he's given the final situation update. "And that's how things stand..President Luthor."

Superman having to earn everyone's trust, and having people just be unnerved by his abilities is something I want to see him overcome. I'd love it if they could also get that woman from secret origins that bitches at Clark for looking up and not where he's going on his first day in Metropolis, and then at the end another guy bumps into her and she's like "don't worry we all look up in the hopes we'll see Superman!"

Skwirl posted:"Dad, I'm being kidnapped in a foreign... Oh you've already taken them to jail." Nah, Superman will still give the little trailer speech. It's just way more effective when your eyes are glowing heat vision red while you say it, and your cape billows in the wind as you float just a few feet off the ground.

I've never cared too much about Superman, even as a kid. I have no clue about his different uniforms or anything like that. That said, the uniform he's wearing looks like something Nike designed as part of their pro-combat series. Which is a good thing. If there's one thing Superman needed it was a better designer. That original outfit just does not work.
