Holy Moley! This was by far one of the best Super Man's to every be on the big screen. The revamp of the greatest super hero of our generation got a major make over. Going into the movie I was ready for this, for those of you who aren't and want the golden boy of our youth are not going to be happy. Zach Snyder did a great job of reinventing the Man of Steel. As my friend said to me in a 30 minute bitch fest on why Super Man's new persona doesn't fit with the classic comics of our youth make him feel ashamed of having watched the movie. My response was what do you expect from Chris Nolan. He completely remade Tim Burton's Batman into something of an anti-superhero.
This Batman revamp did did not happen in limbo like Superman, several things we must understand why the Batman remake is excepted over Superman. The first is like Superman, Batman had Cheesy good early shows that represented Truth, Justice and the American Way in both characters. From these early days Batman's reinvention took a turn where Superman didn't. The first is Tim Burton's who is dark and demented, but humorous. Than came Frank Miller's Dark Horse Batman which allowed the fans to see the evolution of Batman to a dark brooding character a contrast from the first Detective Comics which Batman appeared.
Super Man never did this. Super Man has kept to the tried and true of his youths throughout the years. This is by far the greatest reason for the general outrage of Super Man fans in this reinvention compared to Batman. Knowing the new Super Man would be different, looking at the film as it's own entity I found this to be a great beginning to a 3 movie series. Zach Snyder and Chris Nolan hit the marks in all the major areas with new and interesting ways to solve the Fortress of Solitude (20,000 year old space exploration shit from Krypton's Exploration Era) moving away from the crystal technology we have grown to love in the series. It was nice to see a lot of Jor El and the fall of Krypton too. The space ship that brought Superman to earth. And the greatest of them is the decision to become a beacon of hope rather than a villain. Throughout the movie they push this issue which leads to the biggest outrage of the movie many of you will struggle with the new identity and his determination.
