    Plus, it’s superman. Its a boring premise that’s been beaten to death at this point. Nobody gives a crap about it; at least with spiderman they’ve done unique villains every time they reboot it. Superman’s rogues gallery is kinda crap for variety.

      True. He’s also too damn powerful with an extremely rare weakness. The only way to make Superman interesting nowadays is to subvert him somehow.

        There’s a clone of him in this movie. That was the solution this time.

        I did like how the flash movie subverted him. That was a good thing in that movie.

          Can you please expand on this?

          Last I read superman was in the 80s, and they seemed to be translation of stories from the 70s or earlier into German.

            IMHO, the best stories about Superman are the ones that challenge him in non-physical ways. Like how All-Star Superman laid out as a given that Superman had a year to live and focused on how he spent that time, or What’s So Funny About Truth, Justice, and the American Way, which puts him in an ideological conflict against younger heroes with more lethal methods.
