Love the tv series Lois & Clark: the new adventure of Superman, made in the 1990's. It shows what life was like without camera phones & high speed internet. In a few shows after a press conference it shows a few dozen reports bull rushing a small group of payphone to Call In what they just heard. Hell, I wonder way in all of these years with shows like "E.R." and a whole list of crime shows they never did a hard core News Room reporting show to remotely show what Clark Kent & Lois Lane, and Jim Olsen life would be like.

Superman feels distant and his city does not correspond to his action he is not criticized for his big battles. We never see him late we do not feel relatable because superman does not superhero at his level he can stop a robbery say in 3 minutes and immediately, he can go across the world to deliver water to lost Nomads in the desert, help a farmer load his goods in Italy and we saw him extinguish a fire in Japan then come home take a shower call someone and say something like he was out on a run or at the gym. We want to see him overwhelmed like Spiderman. He should be an inspiring character if we see him fight to the limit today, we then see him help a cat from a tree on his way home with blood and torn costume. he is an inspiring character people try to narrow him down that is what kills him he could do something like free people on a burning oil tanker then as Clark help a blind person cross the street. We should see him watch football games with his buddies then go save people come back and continue hanging out like a normal person. Have him struggle with the Man part not the super part he grew up in a healthy home but feels like if people knew he was Clark his parents would have to be relocated to a safe place. His childhood home turned into a museum. As powerful as superman is he should be a UN issue. They should be debates whether to restrict him or let him roam free. his Nationality should be questioned since he can just cross borders without being stopped, we want to see Politics over Him and Countries saying they will retaliate and start a war if superman conducts his business in their territory. They should be consequences for his actions. His appearance should change the landscape of human power. We should see scientists with radical ideas to make superhumans become common and funded all over the world. vigilantes, aliens, supernatural events all start because of him. The consequence for his existence should be that he is a beacon for power, villains and powerful entities should flock to him.

Imo. It's a difference of representation of the character spirit vs. The Hollywood representation. Spider verse was the closest possible representation to the spirit of the character. In other words, if spiderveree was the first spiderman IP ever, we would absolutely fall in move with the character because we understand what it means to be a superhero. This is where the DCEU is getting superhero movies wrong. This is why spiderman raimi was amazing. The infinity saga was amazing.

One of the BIGGEST issues for the DCEU is that they constantly worry about catching up with Marvel, which is what ruins them, they should’ve made character origin movies but they just rushed and made Justice League to try and compete with Avengers

[@joncoleman1925]

I don’t think doing ensemble movies early was their problem. Ensemble movies work all the time (Saving Private Ryan, Lord of the Rings, Oceans Eleven etc). Rushing was a problem. BvS should have been split to allow for exploring Bruce’s reaction to MoS which might have made the conflict make more sense.

Honestly, they could have done Wonder Woman before BvS and that would have been a major improvement right there. Introduce 2 heroes. Then BvS woulda still had flaws but it'd at least flow better. As it's basically a Batman movie, even being called BATMAN v Superman and not Superman V Batman. And it introduces Batman but BAM there's also Wonder Woman. Then Suicide Squad which mentions the death of Superman so it sinks in. Then Justice League. It would have been at least decent. It gives them 4 movies before JL. Avengers also only had 4 movies before it (well 5 but I barely remember to include the Incredible Hulk XD)

Him living a normal life as clark kent and working at the daily bugel isnt to hide the fact that he's superman. It's just who he is and what he wants to do. (tho in the golden age, he is a reporter so that he can know when crime happens and has the freedom to go and stop it, [unlike being a police officer with ur supervisor breathing down ur neck lol.] But this doesnt make too much sense since he has super hearing and knows when crime happens anyway.

So imagine Batman doesn't do beating either, what's gonna happened? Those criminals are not gonna afraid of him.

Batman is a Hero, he is one of the True Hero. his motivation is to protect the innocent especially children so they don't go through the same thing as him when he was a kid. He despise criminal, that is why he's kinda cold and sometimes brutal to them, but he cares about their life.

Funnily enough, Smallville's Clark Kent is probably the best live-action representation of the character.

Much more like Luke Skywalker than Doctor Manhattan.

The real reason Batman doesn't kill is because an editor told the creators of Batman that they needed to water down the character for kids. Denny O'Neil made a decent effort at justifying this aspect of the character in the 1970s, but it's still the result of a silly mandate from 1940.

@@jacobnash7127 He grew up in Smallville. He never even exited the atmosphere prior to Man of Steel. Why should he consider himself an Alien. His DNA is that of Kryptonian but he's culturally an American from Earth. The problem is that we barely see Clark being Clark. The real Clark, the outgoing guy who loves to hang with his friends and farm corn. That wholesome ass dude who wouldn't hurt a man even if he was shouting death threats to his face. Zack Snyder was too focused on the Jesus symbolism to make Clark feel human. So now audiences have a hard time connecting with him.

[@BrianRatkus]

This reminds me of how many intellectuals choose Watchmen as the only comic they ever read because it was on the NYTimes bestseller list, so they don't recognize the difference between Golden and Silver age heroes and how this shift in medium reflects the nuclear age and what the modern hero says about us. The aesthetic color shift won't strike a nonreader as especially interesting and a lot of them leave it with a "so what?" reaction.

When they try to make them dark and gritty, they usually also somehow suck out all the characters’ natural charisma in the process. You can have a dark and gritty character who is interesting and likable (just look at Batman), but some characters aren’t meant for that unless they’re an alternate version of the character, like normal Superman vs Injustice Superman

[@LorianandLothric]

I don’t think that’s the issue. The movies could be dark with any character and still be good! The problem is that every serious and dark thing that happens, is followed by a joke. Not even a good joke! Not that a good joke would not ruin the serious moments they don’t need jokes to undercut it! Like when that kne forgettable character died and then they made a joke about his corpse like BRUH it could have been so much cooler and I would actually be able to remember who died if they did t undercut it with trash comedy

I have to say, I think it says something about the director's emotional maturity. They want the violence and grit with the emotional consequences. Basically, making villains. But how much would it hurt to see sweet, bumbling, pathologically honest Clark Kent kill someone to save others? But I agree with the Cosmonaut, there's always a better way, or at least, a different way with more manageable consequences. Did Clark never watch Star Trek? Vulcan neck punch that mfk.
