      I quite liked Reeves’ Batman and Gunn’s Superman, while a tad bit unfocused in narrative, was a fresh take on Superman i that was sorely needed after whatever the fuck Man of Steel and BvS were supposed to be, Cavill’s tight abs be damned.

        Superman had a lot of flaws as a film and could have benefited from some aggressive rewrites, but the portrayal of Superman as a character was excellent. Quite frankly, it was refreshing to see a live action Superman movie that isn’t ashamed to be a Superman movie.

      Were you stunned by how even your low expectations were left unmet?

      Meanwhile, the new Superman movie was actually good, the only decent DC film since Nolan’s Batmen

        this is what worries me. I had some neighbors who recommended it and personally I found it. Ok. The best parts to me were krypto and supergirl though so was kinda excited for supergirl although my expectations are low.
