they are going with an older Wayne who comes out of retirement.

An older Batman and a young Superman with no shared history doing the Dark Knight Returns? When someone with half a brain tells the execs that's a horrible idea I hope they listen.

They're not doing Dark Knight Returns, they're just using it as a reference point to describe the direction they're heading.

Getting your in-laws fired is really just another cunning tactical maneuver in the chess game of power we call marriage, friends.

watching this for the first time. Thus far the origin story is quite good. The only way I can imagine superman being interesting is by having him grapple with being alienated from humanity, and at least 30 minutes in they are doing that well.

His home planet also feels alien, rather than 'advanced', which is nice.

I hope you finish the movie before you start drafting your response to surfndestroy in the Feminism thread.

Interesting that they based Krypton's society around Plato's Republic. I wonder if that is in the comic or something they did for the film.

watching superman crash into a mountain while he is learning to fly reminds me of why characters like him and the Hulk aren't that interesting to me.

instead of using handcuffs on Superman they should have used those plastic cords. Those are really hard to break
