Remember when Superman movies were about a compassionate man living a double life and saving people, and not about a messianic figure doing fifty 9/11s in a row and getting killed off and resurrected to milk this unearned pathos of him being the best of humanity?

Apparently "kill me space Jesus" if Man of Steel is anything to go by

He apparently based his Clark Kent on Cary Grant in Bringing Up Baby. I can totally see it.

Still the best one because the rest were written horribly by hacks even if they looked the part.

Might have some details off but basically if he went off set to like a diner in the Superman outfit he'd be mobbed by fans and when he went out to eat in the Clark Kent outfit no one even realized he was Christopher Reeve let alone Superman.

He intentionally hunches his back and acts dorkier, and when he becomes Superman you can see him straighten his back and look like a foot taller. Reeves was a great Supes.

Also I'm glad it wasn't the creepy amnesia kiss scene, never liked that.

People don't give enough credit to how garbage man of steel is and the dc in general. Like the criticisms are there, it's just not enough.

And Lois Lane has Katherine Hepburne's spunk so it totally fits. I could see her being unafraid of a tiger and rash enough to do it

This was already (sort of) an episode of Superman: The Animated Series, one of the greatest shows of all time.

I blame the Nolan trilogy for that. Ever since the success of the Dark Knight, DC had been trying to make everything serious and gritty instead of fun and lighthearted. This is how we ended up with a Clark Kent/Superman that was all distant, self-absorbed, constantly feeling sorry for himself instead of the bright, cheerful, inspiring figure and symbole of hope he used to be known for. A shame because Henry Cavill was really good as Superman and it all went to waste.
